Awesome refurbished MacBook Pro - Enjoying it by now.
By David Ruiz Silva on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2022
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.

TRAP : BUYER BEWARE
By Amazon Customer on Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2020
I bought this seeing the price tag. Seemed like a good deal. Got the product, after about 5 hours of use it would no longer turn on. I take it to the apple store a week later, it turns on when I get there, they run a diagnostics test: battery fails testing, charging ports fail testing. Does not turn on when we attempt to restart. K, time to return it. Whats the return policy? if you do not remove the accounts from the device, they can keep up to 50% of the return. Well how am I supposed to remove the account if the product doesn't reliably turn on. Why on earth is this my problem now? Several hours on the phone with amazon later, several weeks into the process, and after several screw ups from amazon's returns team, I finally got an assurance on my refund for sending the item back. Its not enough really. Thats my time down the drain dealing with all this BS. These guys have a 3.8 rating on Amazon, that is TRASH, and it was my mistake for not heeding that. A 4.4 rating is the AVERAGE rating on amazon, these guys are way below that and rightfully so. If you want a refurbished apple notebook that meets quality standards, you need to cough up the dough and buy through Apple directly. Don't give these guys your money.

Good Laptop

I bought this MacBook for simple everyday use and for work but no longer work for the place I needed it for so I use it just for my daily use. This laptop is surprisingly great with small games, I wanted to start playing games to pass the time and it runs the games as it should, maybe a little loud with the fan and battery may not last but I normally use it in clamshell mode anyway so the battery isn’t a horrible issue. I would say for around $450 it is great, I at first had a bit of issues with the space bar but after about an hour of typing and breaking it in it seems to have fixed the issue. When I first got it the battery was completely dead as expected but took around an hour to charge to a state of being able to use, the screen had no problems, it is amazing value, setting up the OS is simple and quick, the screen had no cracks, scratches, or anything wrong with it, and the laptop itself had a great overall appearance with no buffs or scratches to be seen. If I had to recommend a laptop that is affordable, works well, for school or work, or even just daily use I would recommend this one. Great job with the refurbishment!

Horrible laptop.

I love this computer so far, first MacBook that I’ve owned. Minimal scratches on outside of laptop. Can’t talk about battery life because I’ve been in the house so far with it on the charger. But when I take it off the charger it seems just fine. Only minor issue is laptop overheating from time to time. ALSO IF YOU DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT MACBOOKS MAKE SURE YOU BUY A TYPE C ADAPTER FOR MACBOOKS WITH DIFFERENT OUTPUTS. UPDATE: I’ve had this laptop for a couple of weeks now and the battery is horrible. It’s been on the charger for days and it won’t go past 1%. It keeps saying not charging even though the charger is plugged in and the laptops battery health is normal. I honestly would recommend everyone to sacrifice and save more money and buy the laptop brand new. EDIT 2: THIS MACBOOK BATTERY KEPT EXPANDING AND THE LAPTOP WAS OVERHEATING LIKE CRAZY. ACCORDING TO GEEK SQUAD THE BATTERY IS BAD AND HAZARDOUS AND COULD HAVE EXPLODED. SO I WILL BE RETURNING. I wasn’t expecting this to happen I was ignoring the other reviews because I really wanted to try it out. My fault.
Great Purchase!

I always have skepticism when purchasing electronics. However, being a regular amazon customer and not yet having a negative experience, I purchased with confidence and do not regret my decision. The laptop was delivered in the timing promised and worked well. I am actually typing this review using the device. I definitely recommend this seller.
So far, Great for the price!*UPDATED* battery poor quality&crashes

Apple 15in MacBook Pro, Retina, Touch Bar, 2.9GHz Intel Core i7 Quad Core, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Space Gray, MPTT2LL/A (Renewed) - I needed a new laptop for photo editing as the Ram on my Microsoft surface pro is not equipped enough for Lightroom/photoshop, everyone suggested a MacBook of some kind, but my bank account can't get on board with those steep prices of $1,500+ so when I found this refurbished one for $650 with the option for monthly payments, I couldn't pass it up! I have had it for about a week now and so far so good. It arrived faster than it was expected, the cosmetic damage to the laptop is okay, there is a large dent/gouge on one of the edges that is pretty significant. The rest appears mostly unscratched but that's because it appears to have a sticker across the entire front and back of the laptop to appear as though it is brand new. It looks fine, the only way I noticed was when I look at the bottom of the laptop I expected to find model #s so I could buy a compatible case for the laptop and there is nothing on the bottom of the laptop what so ever. When I saw that I looked at the edges and sure enough there is a sticker across the whole surface to cover any cosmetic damage. The A key on the keyboard sticks a bit from time to time, otherwise functionality, speed, and battery life have been good so far. The screen is REALLY REALLY sensitive to touch (changes color in the spot that anything brushes by it) so I worry the screen will break at some point in general transportation of the laptop. Even if I run my finger across it with no pressure, it reacts as if I'm pushing on the screen hard. I will update if anything changes! ***UPDATE: the battery only lasts for 2 hours of use unplugged, it dies if it’s not being used either. And at least once a week it gives an error message stating that it unexpectedly restarted due to an issue. Not thrilled with the issues but I need the device.
Excellent performance but poor battery life (got battery replaced)

Want to start of by saying that I got this MacBook around July and for the most part everything was working pretty good. I will say that I am impressed with the performance and this Mac has been very useful for school/college work but there is a major downside which is the battery life. Few months in after purchasing it would sometimes shut off on me randomly even when the battery hasn’t fully run out yet. It would turn back on after I plug it in and would go back to normal after. The battery also ran out very quickly just after minimal use and also had “service recommended” next to the battery icon indicating that the battery was poor. I sort of waited it out to get it checked as it was still running until my Mac suddenly shut down on me completely and not being functional. Even when I plugged it to charge, it would not turn on (I tried two different Mac chargers on each port still didn’t work). When I tried pushing the power button it would show the empty red battery symbol. Oddly enough, it suddenly had a mind of its own and turned on when I plugged it again but the battery icon was stuck at 1% and said battery is not charged even when it is literally plugged in. When I would unplug the charger from the port it went back to it’s completely shut down state. I finally decided to set an appointment at Apple to get this situation fixed. When I went there, the guy that assisted me ran a diagnostic and said that it was definitely the battery that is at fault and needs to be replaced. UPDATE: Got the battery replaced by Apple and everything is working good and normal as it should be. Paid about $273 for replacement (expensive but expected.) It was the faulty battery after all.
