Alright! So I purchased this refurbished 2009 Macbook Pro. I was sort of nervous since I've read reviews from people (with other buyers of course) saying that they "got what they paid for" and described their products as throwing their money in the trash. However, I found it to be the exact opposite when my product was delivered to the door. It has a few blemishes on its exterior (such as minor scratches and dents) and you could tell it has been previously owned, but it works like it's brand new! I was super satisfied that this product came with everything the seller described and it works perfectly. The only thing I was displeased with was the quick drainage of power; It only took a few hours to completely use up the battery, but I've found ways to preserve its life for longer than I timed it for. Not to mention I was extremely displeased since I discovered that certain games/programs I wanted to download couldn't function properly or install because of my El Capitan software (Fortnite and iMovie). However, I found a way to download iMovie and have other games to play. If that doesn't make it simplified, I mostly got this laptop for mainly entertainment purchases and for use at home, but I love my product! I feel like it is also a great laptop for me to do school work with (I'm a junior in high school, but we do a lot of technology related assignments) since it functions so perfectly. I think it takes a little to long to charge up to full power, but I assume it's me being a little bit impatient (my Samsung Chromebook charges to 100% much faster), but I find this product to be overall an amazing purchase! Just make sure to not do something like myself and purchase the wrong size and model case! The model number is on the bottom of the computer and the size is in the "About this Mac" tab. Also a fantastic gift and purchase! It's not exactly lightweight, but not heavy either. If you're interested in something more portable, I'd highly suggest the Macbook Air instead.Read full review
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I have to say that my transition from PC to Mac has been wonderful! I was very skeptical about buying a refurbished product and therefore I bought max insurance. So far I have not needed it but its nice to know its there. The Apple MacBook Pro is perfect. Just the right size, easy to use and worth every penny. I did a lot of research before making the switch and found that overall Apple MacBooks rank the highest in all areas. I am a web surfer and a homeschool Mom. I have not used the MacBook to it's potential due to it being summer. However, school starts in two weeks and my 10 year old is excited about using it to do his own school research. Now I have a laptop light enough to fit in my school bag for his Tuesday classes.
I bought this for college. I like it because it's alot faster. Just as easy to use as a PC. So I don't understand why someone would pick a PC if they had a choice. Like, something that easy to use but gets viruses or something that runs fast, is easy to use, looks cooler (opinionated I guess), and doesn't get viruses: which would you pick? RIP steve jobs, buy one in his memory

I love the Macbook Pro 13". I was an avid PC user years ago, and I understand that PC's give the user the ability to overclock their intel chips to 50GHz and play video games in 7D (I'm exaggerating, lol, but that's how people sound when they discuss PC's), and I also understand that you can build a much faster PC for way less than the cost of a Macbook... My advice to people who say that is: THEN BUY A PC. I can say that I've never had a problem with my Macbook. I'm not sure what the exact reason is, but pirates (or whatever they're called) don't seem to make viruses and malware that attack Linux based Macs like they do Dos based PC's. Also, in my opinion, Mac OS X is waaay more stable than any Windows OS (although Windows has been doing better). Macbooks are pricey, yes, but you're getting a fast computer and an aesthetically pleasing/durable one. My previous Macbook before this one lasted me 3 years with not a single problem. I can't say the same for my PC laptops/desktops before that. Maybe my experience is an isolated one *shrug* but I haven't heard any unbiased person ever say that they were unsatisfied with their Macbook after buying one (assuming that the Macbook didn't have issues prior to its purchase).Read full review
