A purchase this about 3 weeks ago, and I must say I am truly impressed! The package came earlier than expected. It was well packaged in the quality was as new as anyone I've seen in stores. I am super happy that I was able to get the more expensive MacBook Pro with the four USB C ports at this price. I've used it now for a while before writing this review to make sure there were no bugs or any problems. And I can definitely recommend this product to anyone who's looking for great 13 in MacBook Pro! And as far as the product being renewed that just means to me that this laptop has been thoroughly inspected. And I actually like the fact that it got that one-on-one care rather than just coming off of an assembly line.
