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

Its a really good computer, especially tempting at this price (it was at $3200 when released just 3 years ago, I got it for 1200 in excellent cosmetic condition). But it actually performs worse than an 8gb (yes, 8gb of ram) M1 Macbook Air 2020 in almost every task, and you can get a refurbished/used one for a fair deal less (~$700).I'm biased cause i've tried both and preferred the M1 but here are some key points:Reasons to buy this over macbook air m1:• Bigger screen - This was one of my obsessions before buying it, coming from a 13 inch and... Its not that big a difference. Its like a 20% percent increase i think, it doesn't make that much of a difference if what you need is screen real estate.• When doing heavy work like video or batch photo editing, certain heavy formats (like 8k Pro Res or 40MP photos) export faster thanks to the amount of Ram. - I don't edit 8k video, plus waiting a couple extra minutes while it exports wouldn't be relevant to me, especially since the m1 is perfectly usable in the meanwhile.Reasons to buy an M1 over this.• Battery is foolish. Lasts three times as much.• Lighter, more portable.• Faster in general use, even with fairly heavy workloads like photo and video editing.• A fair deal cheaper.• Doesn't turn into a Boeing jet engine when video editing, its silent. I've had people laugh at me in a library.

Item came faster than expected. It came very well packaged and included a charger. The charger I received wasn't an official Apple branded one, but a third party knockoff. I've had it so far since November and haven't had any issues with the computer. I always recommend doing a full proper clean install of the OS plus fully cleaning my computers if I'm not buying new just to make sure it's properly clean.It came in almost perfect condition besides the gash in the body on one of the corners, but other than that it's almost perfect. It may be a 2019 and only have one more major macOS release which is the version that was just released for this era of machine, but it's still plenty capable for light/moderate tasks.The space gray color is very beautiful and as usual with Apple the machine was easy to set up and use. I'd say if you need a machine for school or for around the house and don't mind the Intel era Macs this is still a pretty good buy. Do know that unless you get a 16 inch 2019 MacBook Pro you're going to be stuck with the Butterfly Keyboard so a cover is a must and don't forget to remove it before you close the machine so you don't damage it.
