Apple MacBook Pro Late 2019 with 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 (16 inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB) Space Gray (Renewed)

ABOUT THE REFURBISHER: I bought my unit from BuySPRY - the laptop came in its original packaging, with original accessories, in pristine condition. I inspected the laptop very closely upon delivery, and I could not find a single flaw or imperfection anywhere. I've had the computer for about 2 weeks now and I've had zero issues whatsoever. You're getting a $2400 laptop that is exactly the same as new for over $600 off. When was the last time you found a deal on a like-new high end Apple piece of hardware for over 25% off? ABOUT THE LAPTOP: My laptop before this one was a 2013 MacBook Pro 15", and that beast got me through college without a sweat. I had held off on upgrading for 7 years to a Touch Bar MacBook Pro due to the butterfly keyboard and thermal issues. Thankfully, with the new 16" model, they fixed all of that and more. KEYBOARD: The new keyboard returns to a scissor switch design, dubbed "Magic Keyboard" by Apple. This is, in my opinion, the best laptop keyboard on the market. You get about DOUBLE the travel as the butterfly keyboard, with super crisp keypresses, stable keys, smooth backlighting that doesn't bleed, and a satisfying but quiet noise. And since it is a traditional scissor switch, it will be infinitely more reliable than the old butterfly switches. It's like they combined the best of the old 2012-2015 MacBook keyboards and the 2016-2019 Touch Bar MacBook keyboards, with none of the downsides of either. PERFORMANCE & THERMALS: For how powerful and thin this laptop is, thermal performance is great. I've experienced zero thermal throttling while doing software work on it. They definitely fixed all the thermal issues of the last-gen MacBook Pro. Specs are a 6-core 2.6GHz i7, a potent 5300M for graphics, 512 GB SSD storage and 16 GB of 2666MHz DDR4 RAM. Enough said - this is one of the most powerful laptops on the planet, and should crush most professional workloads. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS: The speakers are INCREDIBLE. Straight up the best laptop speakers on the planet, bar none. They sound like a Bluetooth speaker, with fullness and bass I've never heard before from a laptop. The new 3-mic array isn't quite 'studio quality' as Apple claims, but they are the best mics I've ever heard on a laptop. The dedicated escape key is nice and makes software devs like me happy. The bezel shrink was needed, the 1 inch of extra real estate in almost the same package is great. Not quite the smallest bezels on the market, but good enough. And battery life has been amazing. Literally the best it can get, considering Apple fit in the MAXIMUM size battery (100Wh) allowable to fly on a plane. SUMMARY: I highly, HIGHLY recommend this laptop if you are in the market for a premium laptop. You are getting one of the most powerful laptops in the world, specs wise, in a beautiful thin chassis and a beautiful 3K, color-accurate display. All of the issues with the previous-gen MacBook Pro have been fixed. This is a laptop with the best build quality, the best keyboard, the best trackpad, the biggest battery, the best speakers, and the best microphones on the market - in pristine condition, for over $600 off. An amazing purchase.

I received my MacBook Pro in Excellent condition, for $399.99 the laptop still looks and works like it's worth $2500. I ordered the 16GB Ram with the i7 processor and it works like a charm. I even updated it to the newest MacOs 26 and haven't had any issues with speed or overheating. It is worth every penny and highly recommend them, I'll be ordering another one from them shortly.

I recently purchased a refurbished 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro from Amazon Renewed, specifically opting for the "Excellent Condition" tier. While the laptop is functional for the most part, the physical and technical reality of the device does not live up to Amazon's definition of "Excellent." The Good: Protection and Functionality * Protective Skin: On a positive note, the laptop arrived with a nice protective skin/sticker applied to the exterior, which was a welcome touch to prevent minor scratches. * Usability: With 3 out of 4 USB-C ports working, the laptop is technically usable for my daily tasks. The Bad: Defying the "Excellent" Standard According to Amazon Renewed guidelines, an "Excellent" grade means the product should have no visible cosmetic imperfections from 12 inches away and must be fully functional. My unit, however, has two major flaws: 1. Physical Damage: There is a very noticeable, distinct dent on one of the corners, clearly caused by a hard drop or impact. This goes well beyond acceptable refurbished cosmetic wear for the highest tier. 2. Defective USB-C Port: Out of the four USB-C ports, one is completely dead. It does not accept a charge, nor does it recognize data transfer. While I can get by with the remaining three ports, paying a premium for an "Excellent" condition device means expecting 100% functionality. The Uncertain: Third-Party Charger The MacBook did not come with an official Apple charger, but rather a third-party compatible adapter. While it works for now, I do have minor concerns about its long-term reliability and safety compared to OEM Apple silicon and power management. Next Steps & Final Verdict Since I am still within the 30-day return window, I am not keeping quiet about this. I plan to take this MacBook to an official Apple Store this week to run a professional diagnostic. I need to ensure that the dead USB-C port isn't a symptom of a deeper, underlying issue with the logic board, which could fail entirely down the road. Conclusion: If you are buying from Amazon Renewed, be prepared to inspect your device thoroughly. "Excellent" might just mean "Acceptable with a hidden defect" depending on the seller. If Apple finds a logic board issue, this is going straight back to Amazon for a refund.

I’ve been using the 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro for graphic design, multitasking, and everyday work, and it has honestly exceeded my expectations. Everything runs incredibly smooth, even when I have multiple applications open at once. The Retina display is beautiful, the speakers are surprisingly powerful, and the keyboard is comfortable for long editing sessions. For the price I paid, I couldn’t be happier. The build quality still feels premium, the battery life has been solid for my needs, and macOS is clean and reliable. It Arrived looking brand new ! The only thing I’ve noticed is that it can get a little warm when I’m doing more demanding tasks like rendering or working on larger Projects Even then, it has never overheated to the point of crashing, freezing, or slowing my work down. Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase. For the price I paid, I feel like I got an incredible value. I would definitely recommend this MacBook to anyone looking for a powerful machine that can still handle demanding workloads.

Very good functionality so far, battery might drain a bit fast like iPhones, but I don’t see anything unusual with the battery. I am pretty sure that’s mostly because Apple batteries suck a lot compared to other brands, but I can’t really complain due to this fact. Apple charger wasn’t the official apple charger and it overheats a lot, but it charges really fast. Might have been a few pieces chipped from the shell and slightly dented, but that’s the cost of buying a refurbished one. Setting this up was a piece of cake, game performance is also the best, I don’t really know how to use a MacBook, but I can tell compared to other computers this is really great overall. It is also the best computer to do all your work. Works great with mouses whether Apple or non-Apple mouses, it’s pretty strong when it fell once off the height of my bed; everything was in tact and everything remains the same. Didn’t even get a piece chipped off when it fell, neither did the screen break, or get a dent anywhere on the laptop. Definitely better than the HP laptops I purchased before so far, and this was pretty much worth it. It may have a few issues, but I think that’s universally Apple’s fault. Can’t really expect any better from this. In conclusion, this was definitely worth the purchase. Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens. If so, I’ll be making a second review.

I loved the big 17" MacBooks when Apple still made them because I could perform a lot of upgrades, etc. - but especially for the spacious screen. When I came across this 2019 16" MacBook Pro I purchased it with some hesitations, it is used and refurbished. There is also the different conditions depending on scratches and other signs of wear. I've bought Apple products, including laptops, from Apple's used products which are also refurbished. All the used laptops I've purchased from Apple has been like brand new. I was apprehensive about buying one from Amazon. The laptop came in a run of the mill shipping box, including power brick and C cord. The laptop is in excellent condition. I had to look close to find any damage or signs of use, and what I found was very minor and hard to find. The screen has no dead pixels and looks great. I got the model with the Intel Core i7, 16mb ram, and 500gb hard drive. It works great for what I use a laptop: word processor, watch YouTube, web browsing, and other light uses. I also have a 2023 MacBook Pro with the apple M2 pro and really there is no comparison. The M2 smokes the Intel chip. I was aware of this when I purchased this laptop so I'm fine with the speed difference. The power brick was not Apple and not rated anywhere near what Apple had included with the original. I contacted the company that refurbished it and within days I received a replacement. The replacement was still not rated as high as the original, but it works and I didn't request another. The nice thing was I did not have to go through the hassle of boxing up and shipping the first power brick. The company was fast to respond to my complaint and had the replacement shipped quickly. In the pictures I included in this review, there are a few of the bottom side. At first I thought it was a plastic cover, but obviously it's not. It's some sort of what I'm guessing to be a protective shield. It's not something I would put on my laptop mainly because it might interfere with the cooling system. It does not seem to make the laptop run hot. Also, when I've watched reviews on YouTube the reviewer almost always whines about the cooling fans and how loud they are. I can hardly hear them when they kick in and for what I use it for, the fans don't run that often. Will I ever buy another Amazon refurbished? I wouldn't hesitate. I have no problem referring a friend or relative.

MacBook arrived within a couple days of placing order, well packaged and in good shape. The computer was in great shape, practically new condition. It powered up and, after some updates, it's like a new one. Just as described. I'll probably purchase another for my wife in a few weeks.

DO NOT BUY, seems too good to be true, it is. I ordered 2 MacBook pros. They got here really fast but only because I paid them an extra 50$ each for priority. Well when I open the box I see one MacBook Pro 16 inch, and a MacBook Air 13 inch. Really annoying but happens. I start up the Mac Pro, it has every bug under the sun, won't let me set up my iCloud, after 3 hours I get it figured out. Now the Mac won't update from CATALINA WHICH IS LIKE 5 YEARS OLD. I can't download any software or programs I need for work because it's running on an os that is so outdated it won't work. They don't do any quality control, they just are selling a pretty laptop the doesn't work. Do not buy, genuinely not worth it. And when I tried to get a replacement they told me they won't and it would take a week to refund me my money. So thanks for wasting two weeks of my life

It’s exactly the computer I ordered. It works like new. Very little cosmetic blemishes (it’s used) but nothing to gripe about. Battery health is normal. I tested everything. I updated to MacOS 26 Tahoe and did notice a little choppiness and lag. After I did a google search I found out the MacBook needed some time to “index”. So it seems to have cleared up and is working well now. One small thing. The photo shows an original Apple power adapter, but I received an aftermarket one. So what, it works.

Excelente

Tengo 5 meses usando de manera intensiva la máquina y sin problemas hasta la fecha , creo que los reacondicionados son un volado, puede salir bien o mal el equipo. Recomiendo comprar cargador original ya que el que incluye es genérico y no proporciona los 94 Watts del cargador original, mermando la capacidad del procesador por falta de potencia y con riesgos de dañar el equipo.

Mac has a big dent on the side, other than that its free of visible scratches as with excellent battery. But this was a big deal breaker for me, I could deal if it wasnt priced expensive for excellent

Ni 4 meses y dejó de prender, parece que vienen con defecto ya que veo que es una queja común entre los que la compramos con este distribuidor, no pierdan su dinero Actualización la mandé a revisar y el vendedor la trucó para que funcionara un tiempo, al final iba a fallar
