Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch Laptop 2.6GHz (MGX82LL/A) Retina, 8GB Memory, 256GB Solid State Drive (Renewed)

.. but do your research. Reading reviews, this was a scary process. I just bought a refurbed iPhone X 3 months ago that was near perfect so I knew it could be done. Amazon is a flea market w thousands of venders. In looking for a refurbed Mac, there were dozens of vendors 'approved' by Amazon. Click on the storefront of each vendor 'sold by' and check their customer approval rating. Some were little better than 60%. I found 'Certified Macs' to be one of the highest rated so shopped their storefront for what I wanted. I paid top $$ for 'excellent condition' but still just over $300 for a mid-2014 spec'ed for my needs. It came in a plain white box, as in the photo, w a lot of bubble wrap. FedEx delivered and asked my ID. There was what appears to be a new Apple-type knockoff charger and cable. The charger did 'spark', as others have mentioned, when I first plugged it in but has not in the 2 weeks since and does not feel hot when in use. The computer is flawless .. clean, zero scratches or blemishes, screen looks perfect. So far it is operating as expected, faster than my 2011 model that was on the verge of crashing. Battery is adequate at just under 6000 w 298 cycles. Hopefully I can get 3-4 years solid use minimum as I only use it for surfing, bills, photo storage .. the usual.

Super happy with my MacBook! Battery life, speed and screen quality are all wonderful. Well worth the money!Edit: So I bought this laptop in May 2022. It is now September 2022, and the battery needs to be replaced. I assumed that the battery was new, so I am disappointed, to say the least.Edited again: Installed a new battery, which did work. Now there seems to be a hardware issue. So now I am out over $400, and do not have a working computer. Do not waste your money buying from this seller.

I realize this may not be everyone's experience, but my laptop arrived a day early. It came with a 3rd party power supply (that looked brand new), started up immediately, upgraded the OS to Big Sur.The laptop itself shows virtually zero signs of wear and tear that you would expect on a laptop manufactured in 2015-2016. The screen is flawless, battery seems okay (I haven't tested it in a real-world situation yet, I may update this later).This particular laptop has a bunch of ports you won't find any Macbook Pros after 2016. It has two USB-A, two Thunderbolt-2 (a bit outdated but you can get adapters if you need something), headphone jack and HDMI port, AND a SD card slot.I'm very happy with this purchase and would highly recommend. Reading through some past reviews I saw some people had issues with batteries and chargers, etc - I had no problems and hope you have the same experience. Great to find a good deal on older hardware that doesn't LOOK like older hardware.

I ordered this MacBook as I am a photographer and needed a better functioning computer than my pc to edit photos/ do design work.The function of this MacBook has been great, runs fast, battery life is good, etc. However, when I received the mac there was a lot of cosmetic scratches on the bottom and there are a few dents on the sides by the keyboard where I can tell it has been dropped-- this did not bother me as I always put cases on my computers, however I have received refurbished products in better condition. I also had issues with my charger upon arrival where it was sparking by my Mac port when I plugged it in, not by the outlet-- so I contacted the seller (because after doing some online research I found out that the sparks produced were due to a faulty charger) and the seller sent me out a new charger without hesitation that now works flawlessly.So although there were a few minor issues-- they were easily addressed by the seller and the overall Mac function has been great, exactly what I needed and for that I am giving this product 4 stars.

I absolutely loved this product. Came right away and works efficiently. Had to run some updates and set up the logistics, so after that it worked very well. I personally bought this computer so I could produce music, using an app titled ‘GarageBand’. Unfortunately, I am not able to download ‘Garageband’ and other music making software because I purchased a 2015 model. After having some difficulties downloading GarageBand, Employees from Apple Store informed me, I need at least a 2019 model or newer, to download those apps. Absolutely loved this product. Works very well and came in good condition. I wasn’t aware that I needed a more recent model and would have purchased a newer model had I known. Regardless, this computer works great for the price I paid .

The Mac itself it amazing, I love it. But I bought it for work, and with the intention of using it for a side hustle, graphic art. But the computer overheats a little too fast, and the fans inside are a tiny bit loud. It’ll still work when it’s tryna cool down, but it slows down my ability to draw. Basically lags. Everything else is fine tho!
