The "Renewed) 2017 MacBook was in very good physical shape although I was very dissapointed to find that it arrived with a totally dead battery (which most suppliers both new and refurbished send them out at about 40% to 70% charged.  After charging the battery Apple reports "Service Recomended" on the battery.  I don't consided a laptop that has been "Renewed" to need to have the battery replaced.  The order also arrived several days late.
