Apple MacBook Pro 256GB Wi-Fi Laptop 13.3in with Intel Core i5 MF840LL/A - Silver (Renewed)

It came free with a shell in a nice black color, it boots and runs well and has a decent battery life. I actually like that it's limited in what it can run, but that's just me, because it is mostly for writing and working. I have found ways to install older Mac writing and presentation software for my job. The highest priority was that it can open and run the latest version of QLab, which it does effortlessly. It also runs a few other theatrical programs I need to.Pros:Works well, good battery life, and boots easilyDistraction free work environment, and light weight to take anywhereHDMI port installed rather than needing connection for HDMIUSB Hubs all work as intended.Great inexpensive way to get a Mac for exclusive software like QLabCons:The OS is kneecapped by apple, by design, and there's not really a work around.Charging cable is super shortA little slow running anything, largely due to ageOverall, I highly enjoy my silly little laptop. It's kind of charming and goofy, and a good introduction to Apple for a PC user. After all, if I mess it up, I just wipe it and start again. Runs the basic software I need without much extra. Travels well, and provides me a 2 computer setup for when I need to run lights and sound for an event. I really am glad these renewed options exist for purchase. However, don't think it will run everything under the sun, it won't, but if you know that going in... It'll be just fine, and perfectly serviceable.

Does not hold charge. Very very disappointed. Bought this for my daughter as a gift. She isnt able to use it for school because she constantly needs to plug it in for her to use.

Received my Macbook Pro a day early than expected. I wanted to wait to write a review so I could make sure that it worked well. My old job gave me a 2020 Macbook air and I loved working on it. I did not want to spend that much money, so I researched at found out that a lot of people who do a lot of creative stuff online like the 2015 Macbook pro, and I see why!- Keyboard is awesome. Lights up.- Battery Life isn't bad, having that I had an old 2011 HP laptop that I used for my undergrad and its shot.- Has all outlets you need to upload media (New versions require you to buy an extension to use USB, HDMI and does not have a headphone jack, not that I'm going to use it anyways)- This laptop does NOT have an outlet for a CD or DVD.- This laptop does NOT come with Windows, Adobe, or anything. Just basic apps from Apple.- The screen is just as bright and beautiful as the 2020 Macbook Air that I used for work.- Doesn't over heat. Haven't had any issues since receiving it.The laptop did have some small marks on it, but it looks like it'll come off with a Clorox wipe.**I did see a few people have issues with having their keyboard cover ruining the laptop screen, so I will be getting a screen protector, keyboard cover and a case for my laptop just so I won't ruin it.Great laptop for school and work.

The media could not be loaded. I ordered a good condition MacBook it came with a few scratches and a minor dent but other than that it’s working incredibly well and the battery lasts all day. It only takes about 2hrs to charge completely they even sent me a new charger due to the 1st one melting while charging the MacBook I would definitely order another one if needed.

I purchased this Mac Book for my son and he absolutely loved it. Great quality and very fast! I would purchase again!!!!!!!

This was a gift . there are three choices for good acceptable or excellent condition I did choose to get one in excellent Condition And there was barely a scratch on the MacBook I forgot to take pictures but in very good condition.(edited after I bought second one to add pictures) Did come in Russian the first time.😂 But easy fix with Google translate picture. Quality was great charger worked fine loved the price. Just ordered one for myself :)

The speakers are blown. It over heats when it’s on the charger and when it’s not charging it dies in 10 minutes and I’ve received no help from Amazon regarding this issue. All of the MacBooks come out dated and can’t be updated unless you take it to someone and have them do it. Stay away from Amazon MacBooks!

Until yesterday, my daily driver was a 2013 13" MBP with 8 GB RAM. I'd been considering having the screen replaced because of some annoying scratches, until I realized that for an extra ~$100 I could just pick this up instead — a total steal by comparison*.Swapping my 2 TB SSD (OCW Aura Pro X2) into this was quick and easy; also threw in a BaseQi adapter with a 256 GB microSD for good measure, and based on past experience immediately applied a screen protector (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077C5S97T). Now it's about equivalent to a current high-end MBP, except actually better because the keyboard is great.Cons:* There's a small dent in the aluminum near the logo. (Can't really complain since it's replacing a machine that had its fair share of minor scratches and dents.)* I had to clean it up a bit (peel off some stickers, clean the screen, and Clorox wipe the body to get rid of sticky residues).Overall, this is a pretty sweet deal. I'm almost surprised that these things aren't demanding a premium over current-gen models, so getting them at a fraction of what they were four years ago is awesome.*: For that little bit of extra money, now I have double the RAM, a modest spec bump across the board, Force Touch, less worn out keycaps, and a (much needed) backup computer; most importantly I didn't have to stop working and wait for my computer to be repaired.
