Apple MacBook Pro 13.3in Retina Laptop Intel i5 Dual Core 2.6GHz 8GB 128GB SSD - MGX72LL/A (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 easily Distraction free work environment, and light weight to take anywhere HDMI port installed rather than needing connection for HDMI USB Hubs all work as intended. Great inexpensive way to get a Mac for exclusive software like QLab Cons: The OS is kneecapped by apple, by design, and there's not really a work around. Charging cable is super short A little slow running anything, largely due to age Overall, 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 have always disliked Apple products, but I have brought iPhones and iPads for my wife and child, I decided to let my child decide what she wanted for a computer for virtual school. she wanted a MacBook, for her this one and it did look to be in excellent condition. while logged in the other day her screen started to glitch butbrhe computer was fine if connected to a docking station and monitor. (screen on computer still glitching but not the monitor, well Iam within the return/replacement time, and in need of help desk , couldn't find anything in my order to contact the seller so I used the Amazon support button, CS had me doing stuff i thought was a bit unorthodox, but hey I am no expert on Apple, CS couldn't help me but they did screw up the computer worse, dude told me to reset the computer had me press buttons and in the end he wiped my hard drive and now I have a folder with a question mark and a support website on the screen, he made it worse now and told me to take it to Staples, now my child has to do her school work on her phone and I won't get a refund until October 2nd, my child has already done poorly on 2 test because she is using her phone to do classwork. all I wanted is to get a replacement or fix the problem. I don't even know who to really blame, the company that sold it in "excellent" condition or Amazon for help desk that wiped my OS. I have to wait for the refund, order something else, which sucks because I only had the option to have the refund go back to my Amazon account not the card that I used to pay for it, so I have to wait now for the refund, even though the there was a refund/replacement option when I brought it . Once I get this straightened out, I will probably leave Amazon once I get my money back and go with that other local company that has a large online presence, you know the one in the end my child needs a good computer. taking math a year ahead of your grade level is hard, even harder on an iPhone with such a small screen, hopefully I can transfer the money from Amazon to my card.

First off I would like to start with saying I am beyond pleased, I ordered this computer and read the reviews after the fact and got a little worried, there were a lot of bad reviews I saw and I didn’t know if I should’ve belived them because I have ordered a couple of renewed Apple products off of Amazon before and had no issues. Here is my experience: (I ordered excellent condition for $299) when I got it came bubble wrapped, with a charger and with a “case” (a computer sticker skin). I didn’t need to plug it in it was already charged and I turned it on and set it up, I did run into a problem accepting the terms of service, you have to go back and press set up I cloud later in order to accept the terms, I added my I cloud after the fact, I texted people and FaceTimed time to make sure it worked and it did (sound and camera quality is great) , everything on my phone transferred over immediately contacts, photos, Apple Music, recent messages everything! I didn’t know you couldn’t download apps like Netflix and YouTube, you have to search up the website online sign into it and then set it up as a shortcut and as you can see in my last picture I have everything added into my bar and I turned the computer off and back on to make sure it didn’t sign me out,so far I’ve had no issues with battery drainage it has been open for a long time and barely went down, I also switched over the default browser to chrome to make it easier to use for school you can download that online as well, the only thing wrong with it to my knowledge is the tiny tiny dot on the screen (second pic) it turns black when it’s on and white when it’s turning off and I really don’t care about it I paid $300 and these computers go for over $1000 so I could really care less, overall I love this so much and I’m glad I bought it, it is an amazing deal and really recommend it for anyone wanting one

I had reservations about its age, but this laptop works perfectly. It’s suggesting I replace the battery die to age but the battery still works perfectly. I’m very happy with this purchase.

MacBook arrived as expected and well packaged. I noticed very minor defects on the case and some dirt that looks cleaned around the power connector. The macbook came with the power adapter. The one star drop was because the macbook had 0 battery charge. While it did not take long to charge the device, it would have been nice if the device was a little bit charged. I will keep an eye on the battery situation. Once it got a few percentage points of charge, it powered itself on and I was able to run through the setup without issue. The WiFi works and the MacBook runs as expected. It needed to download and run an update to the OS. I have not tested the audio, but the beeps and boops sound proper. I have not verified the hardware specs, but the laptop runs with the speed expected for the correct amount of memory and CPU. I do need to verify the harddrive space.

Had for 2 weeks and so far so good. Can not get support but good for light streaming and school work. Came in good condition. Battery holding up.

If I could select negative stars I would. The computer was over 10 years old which I probably should have checked before I ordered it, it arrived in ok condition fa few scratches no big deal, but the language was set to Spanish and I had a horrible time trying to figure out how to change the language settings after navigating the entire initial setup in spanish(I don’t speak or read spanish). After charging the computer to its full potential I removed it from the charger and it only was usable for approximately 45-50 minutes total use before it needed plugging in and charged again. I got started on setting my prefrences but after just a couple uses the computer wouldn’t even turn on anymore. I was super disappointed when learning that it might not be eligible for complete refund due to my use ESPECIALLY because I had less than 2-3 hours total use on the laptop the entire time I had it before it crapped out. Luckily the return was processed and refund has been issued and I decided to go with a different seller due to the mass amounts of negative reviews, which again I didn’t even notice until after my original purchase. I’ve never had a computer in my life, and I’m in my mid 30s so this was a big deal to me. Read the Reviews on the seller and the product and CHECK THE YEAR MODEL. I was trying to download new apps and was unable due to the age of the laptop and its inability to update to the latest iOS version. Ask if the computer you are purchasing is able to update to the latest version and download new software.

Great laptop but the battery doesn’t last at all.
