Apple MacBook Pro 15-Inch with 2.9GHz Intel Core i9 (16GB RAM, 1TB SSD Storage) Space Gray (Renewed)

I have had my MacBook since January and it has been excellent. Great condition, battery lasts a good amount of time. No lagging, the color is on point and I am very satisfied. For a refurbished product it works like new. Definitely recommended!!!

Revised review. I bought the computer 5/10, it is now 7/22 and the computer is completely dead. I bought the insurance butI have to go through Asurion through Amazon and it has been one big runaround. I would not buy a computer from Amazon in general and this seller specifically. Revised review. The seller stepped up and did the right thing. He reimbursed me for the new cord. The computer itself looks brand new and works wonderfully. I would still recommend buying a charging cord setup simply because the reviews seem to have charger issues as a common theme. It will save you the frustration when the computer arrives. I got the computer and it was completely dead so I put it on the charger and nothing happened. Rather than just send it back, I decided to take it to the asurian store since there's one very near our home. It turned out that the computer was fine, but that the cord was not it was bent up the little connection. Things inside were all bent and broken thankfully, the charging block work as well. It was just a cord so the seller owes me $32 for the new cord I had to buy. if the seller comes through and does the right thing and pays me back for the cord, I had to buy then I'll come back and readjust this review otherwise buyer beware I'd highly recommend if you bought one of his computers you just go out and buy your own charging cord and block ahead of time and have it ready because according to the majority of these reviews, we all get crappy cords

The Macbook I received was great, it works really well and looks really clean for a renewed device. Only thing is the battery drains pretty fast so I usually connect it to the charger while doing work. Otherwise, everything else is great. I do bioinformatics in this laptop with pretty large datasets and it doesnt lag.

This was my first MacBook. I’ve always been a windows girl. That has all changed. While it’s hard learning all the different short cuts and getting used to the software it’s 100% a better computer than any pc I’ve had. It’s super fast. It has plenty of memory. It’s an older version so there are some things it can’t do that a newer one could, but for a beginner, it’s perfect.

I really struggled with deciding between 3 and 4 stars, but ultimately I believe the Seller deserves the extra star. The laptop - which I purchased for my Mom for Christmas - is honestly great. The Seller did a good job of refurbishing it. By itself this would earn 4 stars for both product and Seller. However I did have a significant problem with the power adapter (aka the charger, as others have mentioned, the one sent with the laptop was not OEM and it caused major overheating and shutdown events), and it was a very frustrating experience getting the Seller to replace it.....which they finally did, to their great credit. Another reason that I ultimately decided to give them 4 stars. It would have been FAR less frustrating if they would have just communicated better - they DID send the replacement adapter after I asked, but despite repeated messages from me asking for confirmation and a tracking number, I heard nothing at all for over 10 days. I had to ask Amazon to step in and message them, TWICE. It finally just showed up in my Mom's mailbox yesterday. She says the new power adapter is working fine - no overheating or shutdowns! SO Mom is happy, which makes me happy. I would even buy from this Seller again. The product is high quality and the price is good. They stand behind their products and did the right thing when a problem arose, now that I know they just take forever to communicate, I can deal with future issues by just having more patience.

I love my new MacBook Pro. Coming from a lifelong Windows guy, that’s saying something. I’ve been a Windows tech/support person (retired) for over 25 years. Over that time, I’ve had very little interaction with the Mac OS. I’ve known for years that the Mac OS is a better, more secure and more robust OS, but that didn’t mean I wanted a Mac. Well, that recently changed. I took on a part time job doing support for a Linux NAS server, and an office full of Macs. To support the Mac users, I needed to fully understand the Mac OS. This brings us here. TO THE POINT Do not listen to the negative reviews for these “Renewed” MacBook Pros. My MacBook Pro arrived in perfect condition. Everything checked out like a brand new computer. It did have 50 charges on the battery, so someone did use the computer, and for some time. You could not tell by looking at the unit. I will also add that these computers are supposed to come with a fresh OS install. Mine did have residue from the previous owner, so I’m guessing they don’t always give you a clean install of the OS. That being said, if you get a Mac that doesn’t meet your expectation’s, just send it back. My plan was to give it a try. If after three attempts, I didn’t get a “good” one, I would give up. I didn’t need to do that. I was very happy with the first one I received. You can’t beat the price! To buyers coming from a Windows OS to the Mac OS. When I ordered my new Mac, a friend of mine (who has been a Mac tech longer than most people reading this right now have been alive) told me “don’t bring your Windows mind to the Mac”. This is so true. Don’t start by loading up your new Mac with Microsoft apps etc. Try Apple Pages, or LibreOffice (free download). Give the Mac way a chance. Forget about right click. Yeah, Mac has the Control click to show the context menu, but you will not see the Windows type options for creating a new document etc. Instead, open the app, create your document and then save it. It’s just a different way of doing things, but give it a chance before complaining about the way the Mac OS does it. That’s all. Enjoy your new Mac and have some fun…

Product arrived with minimal scratches/ scrapes. Has a scratch on the front part and the "A" key has popped out of place. When I plugged it in and started using it it all went smoothly until I saw the battery icon had a "X" on it. It didn't retain charge without being directly hooked to a power source. I just came back from the Apple store where the employee helped assess the problem which obviously it was that the battery needed replacement. He put in a work order for a replacement but said it might not be possible to get the part due to how old the battery is (2018 model). It'd would have cost another almost $300 if they can even get the part. I'm so disappointed since I paid for the refurbished laptop in great condition yet its core isn't functional. Why even sell it in the first place? I'd skip the purchase, y'all. Now I have to see if I can return it and get my money back so I can just save up a few more hundred for a new laptop from the apple store where I know it'll be functional and have apple warranty.

At first, I received a unit with minor screen issues, but the seller quickly replaced it with one in excellent condition. I'm genuinely impressed—it's hard to believe this is a 2018 model! The battery is in normal health and holds a charge for a long time. The laptop has no noticeable scratches or dents, just an extremely tiny mark that's barely visible. The only minor flaw is that some keyboard letters (like 'A', 'S', 'E', etc.) are slightly faded, but all keys function perfectly. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase and truly hope it continues to work well and lasts a long time.
