    I Bought The best Version chip of this MacBook Pro the i7 2.3GHz and 16GB of ram. IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, I am Very impressed with the performance of this almost 5 year old Laptop. How ever I wasn't very impressed with the "excellent condition" of it, the outside shell of the computer was pretty much flawless but the keyboard and inner shell where you hands sit while typing of it look pretty worn. You could definitely tell the person before did a ton of typing on this computer. From certain light angles you can see the wear marks where you hands sit when typing. And also the keys themselves. But I can't be to picky because this is a refurbished computer that is from the 2020s. I do think this computer that I am typing this review on currently should be in the "good condition" then the excellent condition. But overall this is a great computer to do some medium to light gaming and editing on and I am impressed for what I got from spending the $580 on this computer. 😁

    I have always been hesitant to purchased a refurbished computer but not anymore. My MacBook showed up in like new condition and has been exactly what I needed for over a $1000 less than new. I’ll be using back market for all my electronic needs from now on.

    Okay in all honesty, i wasn’t expecting it to be this good. I was really contemplating buying a refurbished macbook for college.. but it’s one of the best decisions i’ve made. So yes this is your sign to buy it. I got mine in fair condition, as expected some minor scratches nothing you can do besides put in a protective case, and it won’t be visible. Screen is in perfect condition. It does get a bit hot here and there but for the most part it’s working great right now. ( learned through apple this is completely normal even with new mac books).

    Basically brand new. Not a scratch, dent, blemish, etc. Was initially on the fence about ordering from this site but I can safely say this is the real deal. Why would anyone buy refurbished from apple at twice the price? Thanks, awesome product.

    Ok so this MacBook is perfect it works great with sims and even the mods I’m in college so my school work is way more easier for me to do on here it only moves slow one time randomly but other than that it works great and moves fast when i first received it it was dead and i was nervous at first but once it turned out and made my cute wall screen i really fell in love and I will never go back to a window computer lol my only concern is the keyboard was dirty the lighting of it is very dim and the caps lock key is kinda iffy I have to press it price or tap hard on it sometimes for it to work but other than that I love it plus it’s refurbished good condition so I’d didn’t expect it to work brand new but definitely ship it out with a clean next time please cause I will be ordering my boyfriend one

    Super fast shipping! Had it at my house within 3 days. The MacBook Pro was packaged perfectly. It looks brand new and performs flawlessly. Saved about a 1/3 of the cost going with a refurbished MacBook Pro over a brand new one.

    I love the sleekness and high tech design. The MacBook Pro has stepped its game up especially adding the touch screen tool bar. So cool! One issue I have is the battery life does not last. It says 18-24 hour battery life and I find my self charging it after 2-3 hours of use. Overall obsessed!
