good condition laptop but some complaints
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop itself is in good condition and works okay when being used but it constantly dies and it says that the battery needs to be replaced, and it only stays on if plugged into the charger. Definitely would've not expected this for the price paid for a refurbished laptop.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Pros mentioned:Macbook, Price

Great deal and in Great shape
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great deal! My husband is a Mac user and a new MacBook is ridiculously expensive. This was a great price and was in excellent condition. You can also add AppleCare to a used MacBook no matter where your buy it from, so Bestbuy is a much better price than a used one from Apple.

bad product
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this computer is 2012 technology, impossible to update, doesn't receive any protection plan on Best Buy and doesn't receive protection in APPLE TOO!!! Apple care is only for refurbished products in the apple store, 2018 and up, Best buy should be more honest and tell you this in the app and in the platform so you avoid losing your time. if you ask me if the computer works? it works but for how long? can I work with new software without the option to update the OS? I don't know, without plan protection if I have any issue I'll be alone. last, for the price you can get a brand new Microsoft computer I7 technology every ware and if you really want a MAC go to apple store and look for refurbished ... 2018 and 400 dollars more but protected 2 or 3 years. Bottom line, don't even try to buy this or any Apple product in Best Buy.

Wrong Graphics Card
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer works fine, but I bought this computer for the NVIDIA graphics and just discovered it has Intel HD graphics instead. I trusted BestBuy to send the correct computer and didn’t check before. That’s on me.

Just get a new one.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recently I bought a Mac Book Pro for my sister as a gift. She was interested in a 15 inch Pro and I found one refurbished on line and purchased the item. When it arrived my sister loaded her needed programs however three days later the battery would not charge past 33%. She took it to the local Apple Store and they told her that the battery was faulty and it would be an extra $200.00 and 7 days to have it replaced. The salesperson told her that the charging device included was the wrong charger for that computer and shorted the battery. The Mac Pro came with a 90 day warranty but after learning the wrong charger (at an additional $100.00) was sent I was reluctant use the warranty to have it fixed. As a result I had to spend an additional $300.00 for a "refurbished" 15 inch Mac Pro and she had to spend an additional 7 days without her computer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Great, New

Q: QuestionDoes this support Sims 4?
Asked by Julie.
- A:Answer While it meets the minimum requirements for running Sims 4 in terms of processor and graphics capabilities, the game's performance may not be optimal due to the age of the hardware. To play Sims 4 smoothly and enjoyably, it's recommended to have a more recent MacBook Pro model with dedicated graphics, such as those equipped with AMD Radeon or NVIDIA GeForce GPUs. These models provide better performance and graphical capabilities, resulting in a smoother gaming experience.
