Did a decent amount of research between buying refurbed from Apple vs Back Market and Best Buy. Chat GPT helped me strike the perfect balance between my top 3 motivators: frugality, quality, and longevity on which model, year, chip, memory, top trusted resellers etc to go with. I only received my MacBook yesterday so, first reaction here... arrived in excellent condition per description, and right on time. HOWEVER, as another buyer noted, this reseller does NOT include apple cord or charger and sends a new non-name brand (Awanta) USB-C cable/charger combo. Disappointed but I suppose that's part of the savings? Not sure; but glad I read that before being surprised upon delivery.
