Q: Is this product M1, M2, or M3?
A: It's neither M1, M2, or M3. Rather, it's an Intel Core i5. Based on how you plan to use it, this might be a good thing. If you're in a stem major then you might want a mac with an intel core chip, as you might be required to use softwares that are only compatible on windows and this type of chip makes running a windows virtual machine easier. That's right— you can run windows on mac through boot camp assistant, a pre-installed application. If you plan to do basic online work without a lotta heavy softwares that might be only compatible with windows, then an Apple chip (M1/2/3) should be more than enough. The latest macs have this type of chip, and you can expect them to be lighter, quicker, and easier to carry around.
A: Yes it does have a camera
Q: Does this laptop have an HDMI output so I can hookup my external monitors.
A: No. It only has usb-c ports
Q: I am a Total Tech Elite member, what is my coverage since it is refurbished?
A: you get zero support with a refurbished Apple carrying an Intel chip. We back it until you walk out the door with it
A: 2020
Q: What software does this computer come with?
A: undefined
Q: Has the overheating problem been fixed?
A: I don't think so... After a couple days of using, my computer started to overheat. It doesn't do it often though. I try to keep my laptop in a cool areas and I've noticed that helps.
Q: Can I use Windows in Bootcamp on this computer?
A: undefined

Taking a Chance
The previous MacBook Pro I had was a 2011 (old I know lol). I desperately needed to upgrade, especially with starting graduate school. I needed a reliable computer. After reading the reviews and pictures from multiple MacBook Pro options, I decided to take a chance with this one. I have never bought a refurbished computer before, so this was me taking a chance. After receiving this laptop, I am happy that I did. The laptop came in great condition with no scratches. The keyboard was clean. The Touch Bar worked really well. The only thing is that you can tell that the previous owner had two stickers on the laptop, but that didn't me because I am putting a case on it anyways. The charger included works and is in good condition. The other biggest thing for me other than an upgraded laptop was getting one that is lighter. My previous one weighed down my purse & backpack. I hated carrying it around. This one though, sooo much lighter & I love that. The reason for me taking off a star is because the laptop can sometimes get overheated. It's not often but when it does, it's warm. The other reasoning is that the Touch Bar will glitch for like 5-10 seconds upon opening. I've noticed that it does that if I leave the computer on Sleep for a period of time versus shutting off the computer. Occasionally it will do it if I am starting up the computer as well. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase, especially with the money I saved. I enjoy using my laptop now :) Definitely worth it.

Great product and Feels like New
Just received mine. It’s like the Whole BRAND NEW macbook. Really useful and great price. I honestly love it and perfect for school. I think it’s pretty decent size, kinda similar size to a school chromebook (or slightly bigger) not too heavy nor light either. Works really well and the feels like a new one. Why bother to buy a new on when you have this product with a price less than a thousand. Pretty worth it ngl. Since I already have a gaming laptop and school doesn’t require much gb so this product is good for school work. Definitely should buy this before it goes out of stock.

have no complaints about the speed
The MacBook itself is a little heavy- that's about the only thing I have to say that's negative. Although, this was my first Macbook. I find the touchbar to be one of the best features- I have no clue why so many people complain about it. The touchbar is customizable and also displays emoji's or the F keys.... 13" was fine for what I used it for especially when paired with my iPad as a sidecar second screen. Camera is phenomenal and speed was great. I had no issues until i spilled on the keyboard lol
