Apple MacBook Professional (13-inch, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD Storage, Magic Keyboard) – Area Grey (Renewed)

So far so good
I wanted to leave this review because the reviews made me very skeptical when going to purchase this item. So I feel I got very lucky after watching MANY product reviews on YouTube and TikTok, mine came with maybe two very very unnoticeable scratches, I was very pleased with the physical condition of the item. So here’s my advice for someone who purchased this, if when you boot it up for the first time it gives an error message saying its locked and someone else owns it, wait like 20-30 mins. I was very scared when I saw this and called amazon and they said I would have to return it, but I’m guessing the old owner got a notification and unlocked it for me remotely from their iPhone, because it unblocked within 5 minutes and I was able to use no problem. The other thing is the battery life. I know the 2020 MacBook Pro doesn’t have amazing battery life in general, mine says it has a charge cycle of 203 which isn’t amazing but it’s also not really bad. I am very happy with it so far, if you are considering buying this and aren’t sure because it’s refurbished I would say do it. Amazon offers 90 day returns so even if something happens in 90 days or you aren’t happy with it, you can get a replacement or return, so at least you have that extra security.

Not Up to “Renewed” Standards – (Computer battery didn’t last over 6 months)
I want to emphasize that the product is supposed to be “renewed”. Meaning that it should be working and show signs of wear (like a used item). These things are usually signs of cosmetic damage, wear, cracked screens being replaced and things like so. Manufacturers tend to sell Refurbished items that are carefully inspected and any malfunctioning parts are replaced and the item is resold in a “like-new” condition, hence the term “refurbished” instead of “used”.I purchased a computer in March on this year that I have NOT used much due to not going on many trips this year. The computer was in GOOD working condition (still, has no issues) but about a month or so ago the battery started acting up. Typically a refurbished item from a manufacturer provides a warranty since the item should be in “like-new” condition, but this seller does not.With that in mind, it is safe to assume that the listing is not accurately describing the items that are being sold. They are NOT renewed, since nothing about them is new besides the “cleaned out storage”. The computer was still showing signs of wear, the cable was still not an OEM charger, and as noted the computer didn’t last very long.In the case of buying something in this used beat up condition (or like the listing says “renewed”) I would advise against that and recommend purchasing a newer model that is new through a payment plan. I took this “renewed” computer to apple and they told me that the replacement battery for the computer would cost me about 350$ when I only paid about 500$ for the “renewed” computer.I reached out to the seller, in an effort to avoid posting a bad review describing the lack of quality control and the failure to list the computer as “used” rather than “renewed/refurbished”, and still, to no luck, they said there was nothing I could do since the “return” window was closed.I won’t say that all their computers are defective, but I was unfortunately one of the few with a bad one.

Battery 🙁
Okay laptop. Battery life has service recommended and usually dies around 20%. Also trouble with the display staying on or freezing up but once it charges up it fine and will stay charged for a couple of hours

Good condition
I got this for a niece in school and she loved it. I was a bit skeptical but when I received and examined it. I realized it was as advertised as in very good condition and works very well. Good buy.

El teclado no obedece a ninguna funcion

Buena máquina para ser un articulo renovado luce como seminuevo y es funcional.

La macbook renovada llegó bien, con un cargador generico y en estado estetico 9.5/10. La verdad no tengo ninguna queja por el precio. La recomiendo ampliamente.
