Overall, I’m satisfied with my MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch (2017) – Core i7 – 16GB RAM – 512GB SSD – QWERTY (English). The performance is strong for everyday tasks, multitasking, and even some heavier creative work. The Retina display is still impressive — sharp, bright, and great for both work and streaming. That said, there are a couple of minor drawbacks. The battery life isn’t as long as I’d hoped, especially during more demanding tasks. The laptop can also get a bit warm and the fans become noticeable under heavy use. While the keyboard is generally comfortable, it does take some getting used to. Despite these small issues, the overall build quality feels premium and the device runs smoothly. Considering it’s a refurbished model and a more environmentally friendly choice, I think it offers good value for the price. In general, I’m happy with the purchase, with just a few minor compromises to keep in mind

I bought it because i have not used a MacBook before, so I can not complain given the amount I paid for this. It works well, and the battery life fantastic. The downside is that being “obsolete” the latest apps doesn't work on it. For instance Microsoft 365 is not working. It's not big for me I use the virtual version.

Overall really happy with the MacBook. It came in excellent condition and runs smoothly for everyday tasks like browsing, studying, and light work. The battery life is decent and the screen quality is great. The only minor issue is that it sometimes gets a bit hot even when doing simple things. Still does the job well and is good value for money

The machine is in perfect working condition. Only issue was with the charger cable supplied which your support representative (Alp) resolved in literally minutes. I wish the big retailer named after the South American river, had support people HALF as good as yours. The whole experience with you from start to finish was done quickly, professionally and efficiently. I’d have given a higher rating if there hadn’t been th problem with the charger supplied.
