Let me first say that the MacBook Pro 2019 came in pretty good condition, except for a couple of unnoticeable scratches on the side. Jumped right in, plugged up got started with the setup …everything went smoothly. Beautiful bright clear screen as expected.  The next day I hopped on but the laptop did not turn on.. thought that was a little strange. Anyhow, I plugged it up and back in I went. I checked the battery life and it displayed 40% but still didn’t understand why I couldn’t use without the charger. I took another look and read the additional information “Battery not charged service required”. You got to be kidding me. I immediately called Amazon spoke to customer service (very helpful) and they were not able to get a replacement because the sale price had changed. I was referred over to Apple support who confirmed “No warranty”.  They were able to take a closer look at the laptop and found that the MacBook battery was considered dead. I had the option to purchase a new battery for at least $249 which I kindly declined. Apple support was great and assisted me in removing all of my information from the Laptop as I have opt to return this device!  Yes, I know it was a refurbished item. However, I refuse for the purchaser to receive profit for an item that came without a decent battery. Unfortunately for me I can’t trust to repurchase or take a chance on this seller. I will just have to wait and pay a little more for the peace of mind. Very disappointed.
