Apple 15.4" MacBook Pro (2015, i7, 512GB) (Open Box)

I ordered this based on decent reviews. I think it's important to note that the description doesn't mention a year anywhere. For the price I was disappointed to find that it was a 2015 when it arrived. The going price for a 2015 is substantially less. I was willing to look past that price however, because this was supposed to be a refurbished MBP. If it had actually been a solid working laptop, I would have happily spent the few extra hundred dollars. It's not. Instantly upon powering it up I was hit with a "service recommended" notice. The battery is bad. I get maybe an hour of use after a full charge if I'm lucky. But what makes it almost unusable is the fact that it dies without warning. In fact, it just died at 42% charge, which is what prompted me to write this review. I could have returned it, but I need it for work and didn't want to be stuck without a computer for that long. So I contacted Amazon, and to their credit they did offer to refund the price of a replacement battery. That's only so helpful though, because I didn't realize that you can't easily replace a battery in a 2015 like you could in an earlier MBP. I would have to pay a tech to install it for me. So I'm still stuck with a randomly dying computer. There's also a strange bulge in the bottom of the case, which means the computer doesn't sit flat on a desk or table. It rocks. If they weren't charging an above premium price for these they might be a good deal. But they're easily several hundred dollars above what they should be. Save your money and look elsewhere.
