2019 Apple MacBook Pro with 2.3GHz Intel Core i9 (16-inch, 16GB RAM, 1TB Storage) Space Gray (Renewed)

I was very reluctant to buy a use MacBook. Spent some good time in consdiering and then decided to proceed with fingers crossed, the decision turned out to be a good one. The MacBook Pro is in excellent condition, no visible signs of usage. The battery is good for about 3 hours - can’t expect more than it. Highly recommendedThe seller however is very non cooperative, I entered incorrect address on the order, when I realized I requested seller if they change it before the dispatching but they refused it. I had to track the order and then request my neighbor to get it from him.

Excellent computer. Easy setup and upgrade to latest OS. Used bootcamp to install windows 11. Very easy to use. Excellent quality!!!

A friend warned me not to buy this because of her bad experience which was that they sell a defective item to you and when you return it they refund you and after a month or more they charge your account for the same item claiming you did something wrong to it. I ignored her advice and bought because my Mcbook had suddenly given up and I needed something affordable to continue the project I was doing. I bought this on December 13 2024 and immediately after setup the Mcbook began to rebook continuously on its own such that you can’t do anything on it, even to wipe your data is a problem because it won’t let you. I returned the Mcbook same December 2024 and received my refund on 02 January 2025. But to my surprise, on 02 March 2025 I received an email stating that I have a refund even when I wasn’t expecting a refund. So I checked my bank account only to realize that my account has been charged $599.99 and I called Amazon and they said it was for the Mcbook. Now they are telling me only their specialist can handle that and that I have to send an email and wait 3 days. Please, if you can save yourself this kind of trouble buy a brand new MacBook.

I purchased this as a studio laptop for recording and mixing. I have a Yamaha MOFX 8 and a MX49. I have been exclusively PC for the past 20+ years for studio, but thought I would give the MAC a go.First off, out of the box, it work, no issues. The packaging was the MacBook covered in a thin sleeve for transport, and placed in a generic box, no big deal, I don't keep boxes or packaging. Initial set up for accounts, Apple, google, and MS was really simple. It took me a total of 10 min get set up.As for the studio software including the various midi programs and so on, it was super easy. Typically, setting up studio software and midi adaptors take about a solid 8 hours to get just right. However, the MacBook was very intuitive and after software was downloaded, the rest was just plug and play. Took a total of 1 hour for complete set up and into recording and mixing. I purchased a hub adaptor: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BNZ5V1TF/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Anker USB C Hub for MacBook, Anker 547 USB-C Hub (7-in-2), Compatible with Thunderbolt 4 USB C Port, 4K HDMI, USB C and 2 USB A Data Ports for MacBook Pro 13 Inch, MacBook Air M1 / M2, and More. This again was super easy and I will be leaving a separate review for this. I have one external monitor and 3 other USB devices hooked into the MacBook, all with no issues.The portability and ruggedness of the MacBook is the sole reason for me getting it, but the ease it provides me in set up is the reason I am keeping it. 5 Stars.

Machine is in promised condition from what I can tell, but came with a less powerful (though still compatible) charger than it calls for. Technically this doesn't violate the terms, but it's kind of a cop-out. I recommend ordering an additional charger in line with what the Apple model info specifies. Amazon has good ones at around the 20 dollar point.Intel CPU is beefy, but does not match M series chips for performance. It is more compatible for multi-booting OSs and developing for non Mac operating systems, and the graphics chip is technically MORE powerful than any top of the line new M series machine, though its use cases are limited for most users.If you want a solid machine to get into Mac usage without breaking 500 dollars and with some Swiss-Army knife capacity due to technically archaic hardware, this is a great option. It has the hardware to keep close in terms of performance to newer and more expensive machines. The '19 16 inch also has higher build quality to somewhat bely its age. I've heard complaints about fan noise, but this is not a machine designed for anonymity.

came over nite and took me a while to set it up but its a pretty good mac but needs sd card slot and USB slots..just has usb-c slots

This MacBook Pro is so wonderful. My son is so happy it is fast. It has no dents or scratches. He loves it.

The item received was in near perfect condition, not a scratch, dent or crack was visible, then the horror began. The MacBook worked for two days then just went completely blank. Unfortunately I am outside of the US at the moment of writing this review, therefore I decided to get it checked by a technician. They identified the issue as the Logic Board needs replacing with a cost of $300 to have this done. Why advertise an item as being in excellent condition when it’s not functional.Lesson learned!!
