Apple 15.4in MacBook Pro Laptop (Retina, Touch Bar, 2.6GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD Storage) Space Gray (MR942LL/A) (2018 Model) (Renewed)

I was a bit hesitant about buying a refurbished MacBook Pro, but I’m thrilled I did! The laptop arrived in pretty great condition—honestly, I wouldn’t have guessed it wasn’t brand new. It only has a couple of minor scratched on the top, but besides that, it has no visible scratches on the screen itself, and runs like a dream. The performance is incredibly smooth, and the battery life is fantastic—it easily lasts me through a full day or two of work without needing a charge. I also love that it came with an official Apple charger (which was a pleasant surprise since I’ve heard of other customers receiving third-party ones). The features themselves are advanced, making everything from multitasking to video editing a breeze. I feel like I got an amazing deal for a high-end product. If you're on the fence about going refurbished, I highly recommend it!

The device has multiple serious issues that were not properly disclosed. There are many permanent cosmetic defects, including noticeable scratches and permanent discoloration. It appears that stickers were used to cover and hide some of these damages. The battery life is extremely poor and does not last for a reasonable amount of time. The device also becomes very hot during use and the fan runs extremely loud. After only a short period of use, purple dots and lines begin appearing on the screen, indicating a likely display failure. Overall, the condition of the device is far worse than expected and not acceptable. I have also had significant difficulty trying to contact the seller to resolve the issue or obtain a refund.

Amazing computer for the price. Using for my DJ system and this computer is top notch. Fast, easy to set up and smooth.

Exactly what I was needing! Came quickly and in excellent condition.

I’ve owned multiple MacBooks with the allegedly notorious butterfly keyboard switches; both the 13 inch and 15 inch models. I must mention that I’ve never had problems with jamming, the keys eventually breaking, repeated key input, etc. Perhaps that’s because I also purchased a keyboard cover and case for them. Anyway, as for the rest of the hardware: Apple is lagging behind in screen, with their competition using 4K resolution as a standard. I look at the screens on all the MacBook sizes, and the difference in resolution (when next to 4K Windows laptops) is significant. Maybe this was intentional as high resolution screens are among the main energy drainers in laptops and Apple intends to have reasonable battery life. The speakers in these MacBooks are still top notch. They are (way) ahead in sound quality. I wish Apple partnered with NVIDIA with (e)GPU compatibility like before with the 1xxx cards and macOS High Sierra. That is no longer the case with their most recent RTX 2xxx video cards and macOS Mojave or later. Although AMD cards lead in price to performance ratio, there are some things that you can only use in NVIDIA cards like CUDA cores, and some apps/games with ray tracing. Touch Bar? I’m a software engineer, and I’d much rather have physical function keys. It does look nice and attracts attention when you’re out there looking to test and buy a MacBook Pro in the Apple store. As someone experienced in building hardware and repairing my own computers if they break, the MacBooks disappoint. The non-retina MacBooks from 2012 were the last of its kind that allow battery RAM/SSD replacements. This is the biggest letdown for me. I don’t think Steve would take part in the non-modularity of modern MacBooks. The MacBooks of the past were both pioneers of design and engineering. Now it’s just the former. Touch ID is a nice touch, pun intended. If Touch ID makes a return in the latest iOS devices, as a screen-embedded feature, then great. I find it more convenient to use compared to Face ID. Despite the MacBook’s downfalls, it is still a laptop to consider for professionals. Booting with multiple OS and Xcode are the main reasons I stick to MacBooks.

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…

I have seen some pretty bad reviews about it not being a properly refurbished and how there was usually that there was a crack in the track pad but I got lucky and I didn’t see anything like that but what I did see was a little dent on the side and some very minor damage. Was is somewhat disappointing and time wasting is that it’s not updated so you have to waste 30-40 minutes updating it . I just want to say something you have to remember that these are refurbished and buying refurbished stuff is somewhat a 50-50 chance that you’re gonna get a really good quality. Yes I may be a few dents they didn’t catch and I can’t really back up the crack in the trackpad because you should be able to see that before sending it but also since he’s a refurbished people send them in and possibly the worst condition ever so at least it didn’t come in the box and thousands of tiny pieces but honestly it’s kind of good it’s just that I didn’t like the fact that I had to take some time to update the computer. Everything is really good. I did a comparison from a refurbished Windows and the refurbished a MacBook and honestly the MacBook ran better. It ran a lot faster and forgetting all the cracks and all that stuff is pretty good, but something I really don’t like especially as a student using it is that the the The capitalization key you have to hit it multiple times for it to actually activate as you can see in the video. Overall it’s pretty good just if you’re using it as like a computer coder you might not ,like sometimes the trackpad will not respond properly, which I am not a big fan of as someone who has you like a little bit of fast clicking I find this kind of ridiculous because you don’t hear it click so it kind of like sets me off so then I end up double clicking or triple clicking it’s just not that good. I know that this is just a design flaw on Apple‘s part but there’s not enough space on the back wall not really enough space but there’s not enough air vents so intense to overheat but overall pretty good!

This is by far the worst type of product that anyone can sell saying it has minor cosmetics issues. I could clear see after taking out of the box how in bad shape the device was, with clear signs of poor to properly seal the device (assuming it was opened for repairs,) never had seen a device which more scratches like this one in my life. On top of that Mac was not even turning on, when I realize after left the device charging that there was a battery problem. I’m wondering how can I device in these conditions can be available for sale without proper disclosure of the specific issues. Not recommended at all.

Mise à jour de mon commentaire : Le frs m'a envoyé le mot de passe. Justification : pour raison de sécurité un code avait été mis dessus. Je trouve que c'est une bonne idée et aurait été encore mieux si j'avais reçu un petit papier avec le code. Ordinateur 5/5 très propre !

Good

They substituted my order with a 2019 model and an I9 processor. It looks perfect and seems to be working well. My only concern was the way it was packaged as it was flopping around loose in the box. A bit of packing would have been less concerning. It did have bubble wrap around it.

The MacBook simply did not work at all. Charger not charging. Even with an official apple charger did not switch on. On the outside case of the laptop there was no serial number .. I think is a scam.

MacBook Pro was delivered in excellent shape. Setup was easy. Device looks to be in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend this product and the vendor.
