I love Apple Refurbished, but this was just as good (minus the generic keyboard and mouse) if not better because of the better value. Even though it's a model from 2017, out the box it was great. The screen looks amazing as the finish of the aluminum. Plus I had it had 8GB more than expected (16GB total) and a way better graphics card with 4GB. I had big plans for it and ended upgrading it to 64GB RAM, 1TB NvME SSD and a 2TB SATA SSD. The best part is that by using a USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 adapter I added a Thunderbolt Display. Jem Jem for the win.
