Extremely impressed.

I'm extremely impressed. My previous MacBook Pro was also refurbished, lasting five years before I couldn't use it anymore, so I decided to go refurbished again. I've had this MacBook for a few days and its fantastic. My usage consists of surfing the internet and storing my digital photos (photography is a hobby) and it does what needs to be done. This MacBook arrived with zero dents or dings. Its like new, its beautiful. The keyboard works perfectly and the trackpad is great too. Time will ultimately tell, but right now I'm extremely happy with this purchase. If you need a basic, reliable MacBook Pro that fits a frugal budget, refurbished is definitely the way to go. High quality, low cost.Ver más

More of what I expected

I bought this since I needed a reliable laptop I could use for office, nothing that demanded high-end hardware. The laptop looks as it was brand new, no dents or whatsoever. The charger is not original but feels of good quality. I have been using it for a couple of weeks so far and had no problems. It updated to the latest version of iOS with no issues. The only recommendation for the seller would be to make sure everything fits in the box. Although it was well-protected, it was definitely moving around the box which might worry customers.Update: after almost 6 months of use, the computer still works as expected. The generic charger is another story. It began overheating and just recently stopped working. I will have to get a reliable charger this time.Ver más

BUYER BEWARE! SAVE YOUR MONEY!

Unfortunately this is the very first review that I’m doing where I’m giving no stars and a very honest negative review. I was super excited to get this 2019 MacBook Pro. Reviews seemed good and I felt it was worth the investment in comparison to other sellers on Amazon. Shipping was relatively quick and the machine was in excellent shape. Practically new looking. The issue though is the battery. After charging this for several days the battery drain is horrible. Doesn’t hold a charge on its own power for very long. This is with very light usage such as checking emails and browsing the internet. I even changed the power settings to help reduce background usage. Still within 2 hours of consistent usage this battery went from 100 to 30%. I reached out to Amazon customer service to inquire about this issue and hoped that the seller would present an accommodating resolution. Amazon customer service was great and they did advise the seller to reach out to me in which they did reach out to me, but they proposed aI reached out to Amazon customer service to inquire about this issue and hoped that the seller would present a accommodating resolution. Amazon customer service was great and they did advise the seller to reach out to me in which they did reach out to me, but they proposed a $50 credit so that I could go and purchase a battery. The problem with that is the battery can’t be easily physically replaced on your own and it’s advised that Apple should do it. The cost for Apple to do that is $250. I advised the seller of this and they never responded. Furthermore, Amazon had no resolutions other than to return the laptop which I’ll gladly be doing with great disappointment. I advise that you do your research on sellers before purchasing a used $600 machine. I wouldn’t give this seller a chance and furthermore they shouldn’t be selling on Amazon if they can’t satisfactorily accommodate.Ver más

The best laptop on the planet, in pristine condition, for over $600 off.

ABOUT THE REFURBISHER: I bought my unit from BuySPRY - the laptop came in its original packaging, with original accessories, in pristine condition. I inspected the laptop very closely upon delivery, and I could not find a single flaw or imperfection anywhere. I've had the computer for about 2 weeks now and I've had zero issues whatsoever. You're getting a $2400 laptop that is exactly the same as new for over $600 off. When was the last time you found a deal on a like-new high end Apple piece of hardware for over 25% off?ABOUT THE LAPTOP: My laptop before this one was a 2013 MacBook Pro 15", and that beast got me through college without a sweat. I had held off on upgrading for 7 years to a Touch Bar MacBook Pro due to the butterfly keyboard and thermal issues. Thankfully, with the new 16" model, they fixed all of that and more.KEYBOARD: The new keyboard returns to a scissor switch design, dubbed "Magic Keyboard" by Apple. This is, in my opinion, the best laptop keyboard on the market. You get about DOUBLE the travel as the butterfly keyboard, with super crisp keypresses, stable keys, smooth backlighting that doesn't bleed, and a satisfying but quiet noise. And since it is a traditional scissor switch, it will be infinitely more reliable than the old butterfly switches. It's like they combined the best of the old 2012-2015 MacBook keyboards and the 2016-2019 Touch Bar MacBook keyboards, with none of the downsides of either.PERFORMANCE & THERMALS: For how powerful and thin this laptop is, thermal performance is great. I've experienced zero thermal throttling while doing software work on it. They definitely fixed all the thermal issues of the last-gen MacBook Pro. Specs are a 6-core 2.6GHz i7, a potent 5300M for graphics, 512 GB SSD storage and 16 GB of 2666MHz DDR4 RAM. Enough said - this is one of the most powerful laptops on the planet, and should crush most professional workloads.OTHER IMPROVEMENTS: The speakers are INCREDIBLE. Straight up the best laptop speakers on the planet, bar none. They sound like a Bluetooth speaker, with fullness and bass I've never heard before from a laptop. The new 3-mic array isn't quite 'studio quality' as Apple claims, but they are the best mics I've ever heard on a laptop. The dedicated escape key is nice and makes software devs like me happy. The bezel shrink was needed, the 1 inch of extra real estate in almost the same package is great. Not quite the smallest bezels on the market, but good enough. And battery life has been amazing. Literally the best it can get, considering Apple fit in the MAXIMUM size battery (100Wh) allowable to fly on a plane.SUMMARY: I highly, HIGHLY recommend this laptop if you are in the market for a premium laptop. You are getting one of the most powerful laptops in the world, specs wise, in a beautiful thin chassis and a beautiful 3K, color-accurate display. All of the issues with the previous-gen MacBook Pro have been fixed. This is a laptop with the best build quality, the best keyboard, the best trackpad, the biggest battery, the best speakers, and the best microphones on the market - in pristine condition, for over $600 off. An amazing purchase.

My unit is working perfectly. May have an aftermarket power adapter though.

It’s exactly the computer I ordered. It works like new. Very little cosmetic blemishes (it’s used) but nothing to gripe about. Battery health is normal. I tested everything.I updated to MacOS 26 Tahoe and did notice a little choppiness and lag. After I did a google search I found out the MacBook needed some time to “index”. So it seems to have cleared up and is working well now.One small thing. The photo shows an original Apple power adapter, but I received an aftermarket one. So what, it works.Ver más
