Apple 15in MacBook Pro, Retina, Touch Bar, 2.9GHz Intel Core i7 Quad Core, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Space Gray, MPTT2LL/A (Renewed)

Despite I was hesitant to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro, adding that some buyers had a non favorable at all reviews when I was thinking to buy, I decided to try with this vendor Kanga and if any issue happens, to return it before the 90 days period.By now being the third day after "unboxing", the experience has been so pleasant, with the following highlights:1.- Speakers performs like sound bar systems, even better that some bars for TVs. I've been listening this morning a Pink Floyd concert in YouTube and i've found its flawless sound is amazing, much better than my 50 inches Smart TV.2.- It had MacOS Monterey preinstalled, and after a not so long update, I had the latest version 12.4, with all current patches.3.- It has a minor scratch on the back of the screen, and I won't see it when I put the case on the MacBook Pro, so I don't care too much of this. It looks and behave like new MacBook Pro, in a mint condition, despite it is at least 5 years old.4.- Coming from a MacBook Pro 2015, I'm getting used to the touch bar, however the learning curve has been no significant and I'm learning quickly its features. Touch Bar working fine at the moment.5.- Touch ID did follow its procedure to acquire my finger marks, so now its working fine too.6.- I believe those who mentioned bad experiences with their buys, however that is not my case until now.7.- I may think by a moment that I'm using a MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, without paying that hefty price. However when looking that the Apple support status it is out of warranty, so I'm coming back to the reality.8.- I found it required additional hardware to connect with my HDs with Thunderbolt for USB C, so having converters I did the first Time Machine backup with no issues.9.- Battery is above 90% capacity, with no cycles of use, so I understand the degradation may come because of the time and not by a previous use.I'm trying to use adding heavy workloads to the MacBook Pro in order to find any possible issue (like graphic card bugs), however at this moment the behavior is very good as expected.So I congratule Kanga to deliver this excellent device that I'm enjoying by now. However if something changes, I will update this review in the coming days, or to return it at the first failure.

Good while it lasted The computer only worked for a week before it stopped charging. I spent $450 and now I’m stuck with a device that doesn’t work. The seller was unresponsive and clearly didn’t care about the condition of the battery. They sold me a defective computer, and when I took it to Apple, they confirmed that something was wrong on the seller’s end. This is completely unfair, and I feel scammed. but they were unresponsive and showed no concern about the condition of the battery or the issue with the device. I even took the laptop to the Apple Store, and they confirmed that the computer had underlying issues and that something was done incorrectly on the seller’s end. Unfortunately, I’m now stuck with a non-working device and out $450. I’m sharing this so that future buyers are aware this seller sold me a defective computer and took no responsibility. Please be cautious.

I am very happy with the purchase of my refurbished MacBook Pro. It was clean. It looked brand new and it works just as well as a brand new Mac. Most of what I buy any more these days are refurbished items like a computer and phones primarily because I really like the Apple products and they are a heck of a lot more affordable this way. Don’t hesitate to buy from the seller, you won’t regret it.

Was better quality than I expected for a used Apple laptop. The unit speed was quite fast. With 16 Gig on the RAM I wasn't surprised. I was impressed with the battery life. After making some keypad adjustments I found this unit to be easy to navigate. The screen was very vibrant. The one thing that really bugged me about this unit was you could not add certain favorites like Charles Schwab's web page or Fidelity ? When going to the Apple Store they didn't show workable listings on URL's. The Apple programming only allowed what they wanted you to have? Of courseI was able to circumnavigate this issue but it was annoying having to take a longer approach to getting to some websites. I'm new to Apple Macbooks but found it ok to use but honestly using a PC with windows is far easier than working in Mac. Unfortunately, I had an accident with a beverage spilling onto the keyboard and this computer was history ! I then went out and purchased a 15.6" touchscreen windows 11 laptop that I have found to be much better than using a Macbook. The fried Macbook was donated to Goodwill.
