Bought this to replace my ancient 2011 MacBook Pro. I was pretty much running on spit and needed to get some better juice. I wanted to stick with the Intel processor and not migrate over to the M1 or M2 just yet. Received in a generic box but it was very well protected in there. Came with an authentic Apple charging cord. Computer looks flawless and have had no troubles with it running at all. Screen is bright and clear with no dead pixels. Computer specs are exactly as described. I forgot these newer versions don’t have usb ports so I had to buy an adapter to hook up things like my usb drive for my embroidery machine but that’s on me. Would definitely buy from again!! Looking forward to filling up the rest of this 1T drive with useless crap. I’ll update this review if anything nefarious happens, though I did spring for the 4 year insurance coverage.Update- It’s been almost a year and laptop is still going strong with no issues.
