Apple Mid 2019 MacBook Pro with 2.3 GHz Intel Core i9, 15-inch, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD Space Gray (Renewed)

I searched for a refurbished MacBook for weeks hoping to find one I could trust. I was hesitant because its obviously refurbished and I wasn't sure what condition I would receive it in. When I received it the only visual issues I could see was a small dent on the corner and the apple logo was a bit scratched. All in all, very minimal damage for the price I paid and I have been so so happy. I did have to clean the laptop and charger quite a bit but I would have been willing to do that 10 times over for the deal I got. I was hesitant to trust it but I did go with one of the more "expensive" refurbished MacBooks and it worked out perfectly. The laptop has 0 performance issues and the battery has been working well other than playing certain games but that's to be expected in most laptops. So far no issues with overheating or any other issues. I am glad that I trusted this option more than others because I am now in love with this computer! I didn't get the unwrapping experience others get with buying new but that is a small price to pay for the product I received. All in all, highly recommend if you don't mind skipping the unboxing and don't mind small imperfections. Mine were easily hidden by buying a laptop case.

when I first got this laptop, I noticed that the battery was dying extremely fast. I was able to contact and get a new battery. I got the battery replaced, and when they took out the old battery, it was complete melted. The laptop was always hot all the time initially. I figured it was because it needed a new battery. Well the new battery got replaced and the issue was still there. I never noticed it because I bought this for my fiancé and he never let me know. He just had a little fan that goes under the laptop to try and keep it cool. Well, now I have it and the charger burned my hand that’s how hot it was. I just shut it down. The MacBook is completely hot itself. I know this is refurbished. I bought it July 2024 but this should not be an issue, especially for the amount of money that I paid. I am almost positive that when or if I get somebody to check this battery again it’s probably melted. I just reached out to the seller. Hopefully, I can just return this thing.
