Edited to say that I do think buying renewed or refurbished is kind of luck of the draw/ So for those who don't agree with my review, I get it. But, mine was absolutely pristine.I always get a little twitchy buying a refurb/renewed product because I've had excellent experiences and I've gotten some lemons. This experience was THE best I've ever had. After recently changing from a Windows user to a Mac user, I tried Mac out on an older Macbook Pro. Once I fell in love, I really wanted a newer Macbook pro with enough ram, touch bar etc. When I found this deal, I went ahead and gave it a shot.It just arrived today and aside from the battery count of 54 and that it was not in an Apple box, I can't tell that it's been used in any way. It's in pristine condition and everything works perfectly. The biggest surprise what that it's covered by Applecare until April 2022.I'll certainly be checking for renewed Macs from IPower Resale next time I'm looking for another Mac.....Amazing deal, Amazing shipping & an Amazing experience!
