Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch 2.3GHz Core i5, 256GB - Space Gray - 2017 (Renewed)

I bought this computer, needing it for school work, and was a cheap option for someone who didn’t have a big budget. It worked okay for about 4 months, had some issues such as the battery dying very fast and overheating a lot. Learned to live with it and only keep a few tabs open. Eventually, it stopped working, and wouldn’t let me do anything on the computer since the wifi wouldn’t enable. Took it to a repair place, turns out the motherboard was dying the whole time and didn’t have long left. Extremely upset that I spent 333 dollars on this product and Amazon won’t refund me or do anything at all since its about 1 month and a half past the return date. Which I understand, but obviously they need to have exceptions or make the return dates on these longer since they are CLAIMING that these are in “excellent condition” When they are on the brink of dying. Very unhappy that there has not been any problem solving on Amazon’s side. And if you buy one, if ANYTHING seems off immediately return the product because it will probably stop working justttt after the return date so they can short you a couple hundred of dollars! And what’s even better is that in order for them to fix my computer it would cost over 900 dollars…. When I payed over 300 dollars to get it in the first place. I would’ve been better off buying a brand new macbook then this crap :) Atleast it would have lasted me A LOT longer. It also came with a horrible covering on it that wasn’t even centered on the computer so I had to peel that off. I would like a refund or atleast half of my money back since this thing didn’t even last me half of a year. Waste of 300 dollars that goes to this stupid company.

I have had this laptop since Friday, and I love it. The computer itself seems to work perfect most of the time. Seems to match the description as far as cosmetic details and performance. The only complaint that I have with the seller is that the charger that was included with the laptop does not work. However, with it being 2023, over half of the chargers that I have in my house are USB-C already, so it wasn't a problem for me to look through my house and find a charger that fits it. This could be a problem, though, for someone that may not have as many technological devices in their home as I do, because they may not be able to come across the correct type of charger like I was able to. This would result in someone either contacting the seller and requesting a new charger, which would more than likely take about a week to receive in the mail, or they would need to go to their nearest retail store and buy a charger that would fit a MacBook, which, in my experience, are never cheap. If someone did choose to wait on the seller to send them a new charger, this would result in not being able to use the laptop until the charger arrived, because the battery in the laptop definitely will not last more than maybe five hours tops with heavy use, let alone the week that it takes the charger to arrive in the mail. The description item says that the battery would last around 10 hours. One must keep in mind that the amount of use that you get out of any device depends on what you are doing with the device (how much you use it, the processing power needed to run the programs that you are using, gaming, video streaming, etc.). So, I can't really complain about the battery, because I have been using it rather extensively since I received it in the mail. There are some, very few, but a couple of cosmetic dings on the device; None of which affect the way the laptop itself runs and functions. All-in-all, I would say this was a good purchase, and, so far, I am very happy with how it is functioning. If something happens that the computer was to tear up or quit working for whatever reason, I will come back and give an update.Note: I only give the "accuracy" part of the review four stars because I was told that, even though I would not receive an actual Apple brand charger, that I would at least receive one that works for the same purpose as an Apple brand one, which is, of course, charge the computer. It does not charge the computer at all.
