I got this free with a purchase of a cheap laptop I intended for linux. Since Linux gets even less viruses than a Mac, and the memory/ram are already limited I did not use this for that. however, for family that insist on owning a windows machine, this is the antivirus I recommend for them. However, it can't help the fact that you still own a masochistic operating system that does nothing but irritate you with shortcomings while spamming you with pro-microsoft propaganda. The antivirus however, doesn't hamper the speed of the machine (as much as the competition, though with this its negligible) and it has superb protection and support. Honestly, this is the antivirus you want if you own windows. For a Mac though, different story... it does affect the speed of the macOS. bitDefender is better for Macs.

If it's on sale & you want a portable linux option

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this because I wanted a cheap little computer I could take wherever to do some basic coding. Something I could just throw in a bag and take with me (unlike my beloved Mac). This was on sale for just over $100, I'm not sure I'd pay more than $150 for this.
I ran windows on it for all of like 20 minutes and it was a miserable experience. If you want to run a cumbersome awful operating system like that, get something else. This machine will be painfully slow. On top of that the windows updates (upon starting it) literally took up the ENTIRE hard drive. So, if you want windows you already have 0 space left in your hard drive and you don't have enough RAM to run it. If on the other hand you want to run linux, this can work. It's still not fast by any means, but it's acceptable. It's not robust, I can't have a bunch of tabs open on chrome while running other stuff, but for running and testing scripts, doing basic programming, and basic web surfing, and a bit of word processing... while being cheap enough that I don't care if something happens? This is awesome, especially for $110 (open box) but I would have bought it for $130 (the sale price I intended to buy it for). Aside from that, the screen is cheap (think late 90's laptop) and the keyboard is cheap (the "]" key is so sensitive it will activate w the weight of a hair), but thats to be expected. This is a cheap computer. Between trying to run linux on a Chromebook or installing it on here though, I'd go with this for sure. To reiterate though, running windows on this machine would be masochistic (also windows is literally the worst operating system).

This is a great flash drive. I wish I had gotten the 128 version but I didn't realize it was an option for this model. USB 3.0 so its fast and it comes with a lid to protect the connection. The drawback? It should come with a lanyard so its easier to carry around! It's too small not to have come with a keychain attachment.

Choose this Speck SmartShell case to protect your 15-inch Macbook Pro. It comes in black for a sophisticated look and covers the Touch Bar model tightly to keep out punctures, scratches and dents. This Speck SmartShell case is easy to apply and remove and includes corner clips to hold your device firmly without breaking.

I had a speck clear case on my late 2011 15" MBP, when I got this new one I thought I might want the same. They only had the black color, which I bought because at least it was something. Ew. First off, the black made it look like an ugly windows pc. Second, it made it look like a cheap windows pc. Third, it demolished the beautiful sleek look of the Mac. Third, it fit loosely and increased bulk; it did not fit flush with the computer and felt like it might fall off (the top especially). If you're buying an amazing machine like this for a child, I could see the value in a case like this but otherwise don't ruin a great thing. I bought a decal/sticker thing that has a clear matte finish. It protects the bottom and sides from scratches. I would have put it on the lid too except without a cut-out for the Apple logo it didn't look as classy. You have to look hard to see that there are stickers on my Mac and it doesn't add any bulk. Perhaps a clear matte finish of the speck case would have a substantially different review, but for some reason Best Buy only carries black. Speck still makes great products, but this one was a miss for me.

pretty good compact briefcase

I wanted a compact bag to carry my 2017 15" MacBook Pro inside the Incase ICON sleeve with tanserlite (it has anti shock material on the sides so it adds to the L & D). This bag carried that with my iPad perfectly. the small outer compartment fit the basic essentials. Overall its a great compact bad of pretty good quality. However, the gutter bag was too small to carry an eyeglass case. I don't usually carry a bunch of extras, but I do sometimes. As such, this is not a good primary bag. It's a good minimal bag though. Another thing I did not like is that the strap attachments on the bag and the strap are made of plastic, so when those break the bag is garbage.
