Apple Late 2019 MacBook Pro with 2.3GHz Intel Core i9 (16-inch, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) Space Gray (Renewed)

I needed an Intel Mac for dual booting for a UV printer and this is the best laptop that fits that bill. Almost every seller has an inaccurate description, all the 2019 16in I9s says Radeon Pro 5500M graphics card but most I got had the standard 5300M. I had to return several to get a good one. I got finally lucky, the last one I got had the correct 5500M card but with upgraded 8gb VRAM, and the laptop looks brand new with only 100 battery cycles somehow on a 6 year old machine. It actually holds up just fine next to my M3 MacBook Air to my surprise and will be able to run macOS Tahoe. With the 32gb ram and 1 tb SSD I'll actually be using this as my main design workstation, not bad for $500. Refurbished electronics are an amazing deal, but you have to know exactly what you need and know how to inspect it.

I bought two separate MacBook Pro’s in “excellent condition”. Neither of them fit the description.The first one came with a deeper dent in the lid, scratches all along the outer edges, cracked plastics just below the screen, and a bad battery. The battery states service recommended and has a 1700 cycle count.I figured it was sent by mistake, so I ordered another before setting up my return to get it quickly. The second looked worse than the first with dents on the bottom, shiny wear marks on either side of the track pad, outer edge scratches, a very greasy screen, and a dirty keyboard with some sticky keys. The battery is functioning but is at 800 cycles.

I did a lot of research within my price range, and this laptop stood out as the best option for both performance and value. It’s refurbished, but the quality is excellent, and the price was amazing. The only thing I noticed was it came with 500GB less storage than expected, but when I reached out, the seller was quick to offer a refund. Honestly, it wasn’t a big issue—I’m extremely happy with my purchase. Thank you so much!

Great deal! Showed up and looked practically brand new. Updated to Sequoia with no issues, transferred from my old 13" macbook pro without issue. While it did arrive with a dead battery, however the battery seems to be charging normally. I did have to charge it for abou15 mins before it would turn on. The screen is big and bright, and doesn't appear to have any issues. The sound quality is "typical mac", but that's expected. I wouldn't say the sound is any worse or better than my 13" macbook.Overall, I'd say that this is a great value for the money, especially since it can run Sequoia.

Great laptop, and great vendor. I've had this laptop for over 6 months, no issues whatsoever. When the laptop shipped to me it was in mint condition, perfectly packaged. There were several updates I need to do because of the Intel Processors, but the instructions were all available in Apple Support Community. I'm extremely happy with this laptop, I use it for 4K video editing, and the speed is seamless, even for a 2019 model. I would definitely buy from this vendor again, very reliable company and they do sell solid, re-certified laptop. I highly recommend this vendor.

3.5 stars, I say this because the overall condition is pretty good, with very minor scratches and a low charge cycle battery. Overall, good bang for the buck; however, my main issue is that it is thermal throttling occasionally. Peaking at 100 degrees Celsius according to the sensors. It’s hot to the touch, to the point where you can probably cook food on it around the Touch Bar area. For an “excellent” refurbished condition, I would expect cleaning of the fans to be done. However, taking a look from the back of the laptop, I can see some dust. I am going to take it to be cleaned properly so that it handles thermals a bit better, in hopes that the laptop will be good for as long as I need.

I've been an IT tech for 30 years, here is my review of the Amazon renewed MacBook Pro laptops. Starting off with the bad, the bad isn't that bad really, the laptop was listed as Excellent, and in that condition according to Amazon, shouldn't have any dings, on the lid on the edge there is two small dings right on the edge, while disappointing ,it isn't a deal killer for me, i do think it should have been maybe $20-40 cheaper because of it and loses one star because of it. Not a huge dealThe air vents looked like they might have been quickly cleaned, but still had fuzz in them, which i was able to vacuum out pretty easily, but would of liked this to already been done. i9 macbook pros love to run hot, so clean vents are important. So I might take the back off to do a good cleaning. But considering things, I was ok with it, but others should inspect the vents and make sure the vent holes are clean to keep good performance and cooling.That out of the way, it matched all the other requirements for Excellent condition. Battery is in "normal" condition and above 80% life. Keyboard is in great shape. Speakers are perfect sounding, touchpad is perfect, and now the screen. The screen has no visible scratches and no dead pixels and seems to be in perfect shape and looks fantastic.Performance, the performance seems good, it runs Serato DJ pro perfectly for hours. Runs Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro just fine. Gaming is decent, games like minecraft get 100FPS, other 3d games get 50-100fps and is very playable. So for the casual gamer it's decent.Overall I'm really pleased with the laptop and would recommend buying amazon renewed in Excellent and Good condition i believe. I bought two of these renewed Macbook pros at the same time, one is Excellent condition and one is Excellent but has the tiny dings previously mentioned.
