Apple SP-MBP-2020-i5-16RAM-512HD-SPG (Open Box)

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.
