As someone doing more work from home due to the quarantine, I was in need of a new computer. I was all set to by my first personal MacBook Pro. As someone who works in the graphics industry, having good graphics and processor power in my computer was something important to me, so I knew a MacBook Air wasn't going to cut it. I was astonished at how much more a MacBook pro was compared to even an iMac. So I decided to shop around for refurbs. I didn't even dream of looking on Amazon, but I'm glad I did. I ended up with 15" i7 2018 touchbar model, and man this thing was in great shape.I waited a month or so before writing this review to make sure nothing popped up all of a sudden. Visually it looked brand new. I did not receive original packaging but the machine itself was clean. I had read about some people having a few problems in the reviews, so I was sure to put it through it's paces all while keeping a watchful eye on the CPU load, and I'm really impressed with the power I'm getting from something so small and thin. Every single spec was exactly as described, nothing was  bait and switch here. The only hint that the machine was used, was the battery having aprox. 90 or so cycles on it, but as far as I'm concerned it's just getting started, so to save almost $1,000 off original price when new, I'm ok with it. I would definitely buy again
