2023 Apple MacBook Pro with Apple M3 chip (14-inch, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) (QWERTY English) Space Gray (Renewed)

I was nervous at first because this was my first refurbished purchase from Amazon, but I am so happy about my purchase. I bought the excellent quality level and it truly was excellent. Physically, the computer was in perfect condition and the software runs wonderfully. Very happy with my purchase!

I have been a MacBook Pro user since 2015 and this laptop continues the great tradition of this series. Rings circles around any Windows operating system.

Laptop came with no charger - actually, they sent me a usb c to usb c charging cord, but this laptop uses a magnetic charger (as you can see in the picture).Keyboard is not QWERTY, despite what you see in the picture (nor was this mentioned in the product description). Instead, I have a Danish keyboard. I live in Mississippi, so that’s definitely not helpful.Save yourself the trouble and the headache and just go to Best Buy.

I've been using computers since they were "work stations" enslaved to a mainframe that occupied the entire basement of a building. I've been using Apple computers since 1991, so I'm rarely surprised by a Mac's performance. Still, this MacBook Pro with M3 chip impresses me.But this review is really about the condition of the MacBook I just bought from iPower Resale. It was shipped promptly but delayed by winter weather. The product box looked just like a new Apple box, minus the Apple logo, and was safely packed inside two cartons for shipment. The outer carton showed some wear from shipping, but the inner carton was unblemished and product box perfect, as if pulled from a store shelf.Since it is a used MacBook rated in "excellent" condition, I expected to find some fine scratches or scuffing somewhere on the case. I found none. I expected to find the patina of wear on the keyboard keys. They all had the matte finish of a brand-new keyboard. I expected to find faint scratches on the screen. I found none. I worried that the charger and cable might be generic substitutes. They were authentic Apple products in perfect condition. I expected to find at least 100 charging cycles on the battery. I found only 2 cycles, meaning the battery array was replaced during refurbishment; the first from testing and the second from my charging it before transferring data from my old MacBook Pro to this one. By any objective evaluation, my used MacBook Pro is identical to a factory-fresh one. But I paid a little more than half the full retail price. I couldn't be happier. I would rate it "premium."Because it's an Apple MacBook Pro, I will get two to three times as many years' use from it as a Windows-based machine, and it will still have respectable trade-in value. Savings upon savings!

Received this, packaging clean and undamaged.This laptop works great and is in excellent condition, would think it's brand new.Loving this so far after using it for over a week now.

I would 100 perfect recommend buying. It came 1 day earlier. Everything looks perfect.

My old 2015 15" MacBook Pro (Intel) was at the end for me, as it was getting to the point that it was not able to run some of the software that I wanted.I got this 2024 14" M3 as an update.Pros:has a physical ESC buttonbeautifully engineered equipment, just as I expected from Applevery comfortable to use backlit keyboardexcellent easy to use touchpaddisplay is fricken beautifulaluminum case is a work of engineering art.Cons:It's too small. Unlike with my 2015 15" machine, my 50+ year old eyes need reading glasses to use this thing.The M3 processor is ARM, which means if your in the habit of running non-ARM VMs on your MacBook, you won't be doing it with this device. :(I'm thinking about checking out the 15" MacBook Air to address my size complaint. But for an Intel processor desires, I'll be keeping my 2015 15" around for awhile.

This is a great computer and will get the job done!!
