Apple 2019 MacBook Pro with 1.4GHz Intel Core i5 (13-inch, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD) – Space Gray (Renewed)

Worst Purchase Ever: A Total Waste of $400 and Endless Frustration
I rarely leave reviews, but this experience deserves a warning label. I bought this “renewed” 2019 MacBook Pro (13-inch, i5, 8GB, 512GB) thinking I’d save some money. Instead, I ended up with a $400 paperweight.From day one, I noticed the screen bleeding light from the bottom corner, which should’ve been a red flag. I trusted Amazon’s “renewed” label, assuming it had been properly inspected and repaired. Big mistake. Within days, the laptop started overheating like a toaster whenever I watched a movie. The fan noise was so loud it drowned out the speakers, imagine trying to enjoy a film over a constant irritating sound…Im just 4 months, it completely gave up. While watching a movie, the laptop heated up, the fan roared, and then the screen literally cracked by itself. No drops, it just broke under its own heat. Now I’m stuck with a useless machine. The screen replacement alone costs $200+, not including labor. Why throw more money at something that might overheat and die again?I even tried using a portable monitor just to salvage some use out of it, but the setup is clunky and miserable. The laptop continues to run hot, making it risky to fix or even use for basic work.This “renewed” MacBook was a total rip-off. The quality control clearly failed. I’ve been a loyal Amazon customer for years, but this experience has shaken my trust completely. If you’re tempted by the lower price, don’t be. Spend a bit more and buy something reliable. Saving a few hundred dollars isn’t worth the stress, noise, heat, and disappointment.

Excellent purchase!
This is the first Mac I’ve ever owned and coming from Windows there was a bit of a learning curve. However, after a few days of use and exploration I’m extremely pleased with the integration with my iPhone and Airpods.The Macbook itself is in basically perfect condition, the only flaws I have found is a scuffed up S key and all keys are a bit worn out on the surface but function normally. Other than those two things, there are no scratches or imperfections to the laptop’s exterior.The only cons I have found so far is that I occasionally hit the touch bar when typing and accidentally turn my music up too loud or mute it. Also, at first the battery life was a bit underwhelming but after some tweaking I think I have fixed it (Turning low power mdoe to be on all the time). Today I charged the Macbook to 100% and have been doing light browsing on Chrome and have lost 7%. To be fair, some more battery life could be saved if I used Safari as it is more optimized for Mac’s and isn’t as big of a resource hog as Chrome is.Edit*: Forgot to add this in my original review but the macbook didn’t come in its original box, it was only wrapped in bubble wrap. Luckily, it did not come damaged.Overall, this was a great purchase for me and I have zero regrets.

Awesome!!
I was a little apprehensive at first about buying a refurbished MacBook, but after receiving it, I am very very pleased. The MacBook itself is clean and runs well with no dents or scratches. The only problem that I ran into was that the charger I received was bent and cracked, however, after contacting the seller they sent me a replacement charger and were very nice throughout the process.It runs well so far and does not seem to have any problems with set up. Just waiting on a software update.EDIT: After a long series of software updates, it’s just like a brand new laptop!! Everything is current. Running great! Gets a little hot, but nothing crazy.

Fue una excelente compra, puedo decir que la Mac llegó a un 98% de estética, solo tiene un ligero rayón en un costado pero es mínimo. La batería viene al 98%, la pantalla es totalmente nítida y sin ningún rasguño, el teclado perfecto, trae una mica que cubre tanto la pantalla como parte del touchpad. Una compra que vale totalmente la pena.

It came with scratches on it and a water mark. the keyboard doesn’t let me type on it, after 2 hours of use. I tried returning it before the end date but they wouldn’t let me.
