Apple MacBook Pro 15" Retina Core i7 2.6GHz MLH32LL/A with Touch Bar, 16GB Memory, 256GB Solid State Drive (Renewed)

I've been using Macs exclusively since 2001, and this is the first time I've purchased one that wasn't brand new. I was on a bit of a budget after my previous macbook pro was stolen, so I opted for a renewed Macbook Pro, because my laptop doesn't really get the same amount of use as my Mac Studio, I just use it to play around on. I read through the reviews, and the purchase seemed a little sketchy, however, I decided to buy it because the good reviews definitely outweighed the bad, and should anything go wrong, there's a somewhat generous return policy.My experience so far:The laptop was carefully packed, and included the correct charger (off brand, but I don't care about that). It booted up immediately and had the most recent version of Monterey installed. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it looked and how responsive it was - I mean, the computer is 6+ years old, I was expecting a beater.There are zero signs of wear anywhere, no scratches, no dings. The screen is bright and vibrant, the control bar works perfect. The keyboard doesn't feel quite as sturdy as my old macbook, but it's not enough to deter me from using it or make me want to leave a bad review. The battery charged to 100% in about an hour and seems to hold a charge very well.All in all, this gets 5-stars because it's worth every penny. It's a $700 Macbook pro that runs as-well-as any new mac. I know this because my wife has a 2022 Macbook Pro M1, we have a 2022 M1 Mac Mini, and my office computer is a 2022 Mac Studio. This laptop keeps up with all of them for regular use.

DO NOT BUY! Computer’s battery was horrible and the Touch Bar didn’t always work. Returned the computer and the Seller claims I installed locking software and they will not refund my money. ALSO, they did not reply to my questions about my refund status until Amazon contacted them. GO ANYWHERE EXCEPT HERE TO BUY!

Acabo de estrenar mi MacBook pro y la experiencia es otra cosa. Diseño elegante. El teclado es una delicia y la pantalla… uff, ¡colores tan vivos que hasta ver correos se siente emocionante! Perfecta para trabajar, estudiar o simplemente disfrutar. Definitivamente, una inversión que vale cada centavo. 🚀🍎

The quality is very bad that the bar is not working! And the keyboard types the words that I didn’t type, it happened right after three months and the seller refused to do anything about it! This is the worst experience I’ve ever had in Amazon! If the MacBook doesnt work, please DONT SELL IT! You can’t just expect the broken MacBook would work for three months and expect the customer to keep this! This is absolutely SCAM! I would expect the seller would at least fix it for me! Instead the seller just ignored all my request.

This Mac is amazing, it came before the posted time, came with OS, oh my God is fast, all buttons work, no scratch neither on top or screen, the software updated, and so far this is a keeper for a long time. The battery Is optimal. I don't see any flaw. I am a computer technician and I have gotten inside out the laptop. I recommend it one hundred percent. You can pay with the fingerprint scanner like picture shown above.

I knew that purchasing a "renewed" device would be a gamble. The purchase reviews were not necessarily confidence-boosting; however, they weren't overly off-putting, either.Suffice it to say that, for a machine produced in 2016, the purchase has been well worth it.There aren't any real physical blemishes. The laptop works just fine.The only significant issue is with the keyboard, in that several of the keys do stick, or they require extra touch pressure to work. Several of the keys have either dimly lit or overly bright backlighting. Nevertheless, these things are not deal-breakers for me. The device is not new.I am currently deployed overseas, and the company did ship to my APO.I received my laptop only two days ago.Perhaps, I will return to this review in a few weeks to provide an update.

Nice lil mackbook.

UPDATE 3 - Glad I purchased the Asurion coverage. They made the process easy by sending me the materials to ship with & included instructions. Fixed the issues faster than the estimated time frame. Good experience.UPDATE 2 - A little over a year later & I want to toss it out a 10-story window. Looked at so many renewed MacBook Pros that I must've purchased the wrong one. Didn't intend to buy a 2016. Run the UPC number from the product description through Apple's site for the release year. Laptop hit the floor while open & keys got damaged, as in at least one key is stuck in the down position. Not sure the insurance will cover it because there's a known issue with the keys from 2016. Screen & outer casing survived the fall. Battery is progressively draining faster between charges so I suspect it's still the original or a used one was installed. Bargain price but aggravating.UPDATE 1 - Had it a little over a month & one of the key caps broke. Doesn't look like a big deal to replace them. Just don't be surprised if you have the same issue.Screen was dirty. Used electronic wipes to clean every surface & keyboard brush to dust. Recommend the seller check cleanliness prior to shipping. I'm guessing a key had to be replaced because it's an odd one & not the U.S. format. It's the key to the left of the Return which should be a double & single quote. This one has a semicolon & comma. It's not a big deal because I type properly (no hunt & peck) & pressing that key generates the characters it needs to.
