Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch Laptop with Retina Display (3.1 GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD hard drive) (Renewed)

It came free with a shell in a nice black color, it boots and runs well and has a decent battery life. I actually like that it's limited in what it can run, but that's just me, because it is mostly for writing and working. I have found ways to install older Mac writing and presentation software for my job. The highest priority was that it can open and run the latest version of QLab, which it does effortlessly. It also runs a few other theatrical programs I need to.Pros:Works well, good battery life, and boots easilyDistraction free work environment, and light weight to take anywhereHDMI port installed rather than needing connection for HDMIUSB Hubs all work as intended.Great inexpensive way to get a Mac for exclusive software like QLabCons:The OS is kneecapped by apple, by design, and there's not really a work around.Charging cable is super shortA little slow running anything, largely due to ageOverall, I highly enjoy my silly little laptop. It's kind of charming and goofy, and a good introduction to Apple for a PC user. After all, if I mess it up, I just wipe it and start again. Runs the basic software I need without much extra. Travels well, and provides me a 2 computer setup for when I need to run lights and sound for an event. I really am glad these renewed options exist for purchase. However, don't think it will run everything under the sun, it won't, but if you know that going in... It'll be just fine, and perfectly serviceable.

I knew when buying a renewed laptop it was going to have it's minor flaws. As amazon states in the description, "excellent condition" is as "Excellent (Screen: no scratches. Body: no signs of cosmetic damage (scratches, dents, etc.) will be visible when the product is held 12 inches away)." and "Fully Functional (exceeds 80% of original battery life, generic or OEM accessories and packaging provided)."This laptop came filthy with hair, dust, and other junk within the keyboard and on the screen. The charger also came in the same condition with noticeable stains on it as if it was never cleaned. Furthermore, the keyboard was making weird clicking noises when pressing down some of the keys (ex. the arrow keys, alt, or space bar). The top right corner of the keyboard cover was also warped as if some sort of liquid had been spilled on the laptop, also somewhat consistent with the key board noises. Finally the screen had a large 6-7 inch scratch noticeable from well over 12 inches away, as well as additional scratches near it as if a cat had walked across the screen a time or two.Overall the macbook and its physical parts were okay and working good, but the cosmetic condition was no where near as described. The laptop was returned for a refund.

Earlier this year I had purchased a similar Macbook from another seller - great experience, so I decided to purchase another for my wife - Used another vendor, laptop came, and the screen was glitchy, sent it back, got a refund, purchased another (from a different vendor). This one came dead on arrival - No POST. Sent it back. Purchased THIS one - its been working great, no issues. Not giving 5 star on the battery life because it only last a couple of hours (to be expected on a laptop of this age). No blemishes or major scratches and my wife has been very happy with it. So, long story short, had some bad experiences with other sellers, sent back some bad models, ended up with a winner!

This was a nice computer but unfortunate my son could not download the apps he needed on here so I had to return it and get newer model.

It’s still working, even though it’s from 2015. It gets the job done, and it wasn’t expense when I got it! Also, the other laptop that I had before this broke in the most unexpected way possible and also made me realize that Amazon was way more reliable than Temu was. (Judge me all you want, I don’t use Temu anymore after that.) I got this MacBook literally almost in the middle of my freshman year of the spring semester.

I am writing to formally report an issue with my recent order of an Apple MacBook Pro, placed as a birthday gift for my daughter. The item was received and remained unopened and unused until July 26th, the date of my daughter’s 16th birthday. Upon opening the gift, we discovered that the device was not in the condition described on Amazon’s website. Specifically, when attempting to power on the MacBook, it turned on briefly but then immediately powered off, indicating a defect or malfunction.Following this, I initiated a return for a full refund, as the item was never used and was not as advertised. I was surprised to receive a notification stating that my refund was denied due to the item’s condition. I want to emphasize that the device was returned in the same unused condition it was received and was immediately returned once the defect was discovered.I paid over $200 for this item, and I expect to be issued a full refund in accordance with Amazon’s return policies for defective or misrepresented products. This situation is both disappointing and unacceptable, as the product’s condition does not match the advertised description.Please review this matter promptly and issue the refund without further delay. I would appreciate written confirmation of the refund process and a timeline for resolution.Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
