I was a little hesitant about buying a refurbished product, but this MacBook Pro exceeded all my expectations! Although it’s certified refurbished, it came in immaculate condition—practically like new. The Space Gray finish was flawless, and there were no signs of wear or scratches.
Performance-wise, the Apple M1 chip is lightning-fast, and the 256GB SSD ensures quick boot times and plenty of storage for my needs. The 13.3” Retina display is vibrant and crisp, making it perfect for both work and entertainment. I’ve been using it daily for a few weeks now, and it runs smoothly without any hiccups.
For the price, this is an unbeatable deal. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a premium laptop at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new model. Geek Squad did an amazing job refurbishing this MacBook!

The laptop was free of any and all imperfections, had been factory reset, the battery health was at 99%. The fadtory charger hadn’t come packaged with the system so they upgraded me to a 140W charger free of charge! Im extremely impressed with Geeksquads quality, genersoity, and attention to detail. The discounted price of the system was just the icing on the cake, i would 10/10 reccomened buying refurbished apple products from Best Buy!

My MacBook Pro is everything I had hoped it would be and more. I’m able to multitask with ease. Whether I’m listening to a lecture while working on a spreadsheet or researching and writing a paper with the split screen function, I’m very impressed with Apple and the MacBook’s versatility. The battery life is strong, the display is great and the Apple Intelligence feature is what you buy Apple for. This for me was indeed a Best Buy!

The big screen and more RAM is over hyped this is better and way more portable has helped me complete all my tasks efficiently, would go with the smaller size Mac for any model now especially this one.

Everything about this product was basically like new. There were a few dirt marks on the keyboard and a few fingerprints that were on the screen but nothing that cant be cleaned. The computer works fast and allows me to get all my work done. No issues thus far

Don't ever buy it! Bestbuy is lying to their customers, they claim this device is inspected and certified, I found out after using it for a few days that it wouldn't charge, only to send it to Apple to be inspected and find out that the device had liquid in it. Bestbuy doesn't offer any solutions after that.

Refurbished Treasure: 2020 GSRF MacBook Pro

I recently took the plunge and bought a refurbished MacBook Pro from BestBuy, and let me tell you, it's been a great experience! I was initially hesitant, but the value proposition was too good to ignore. Now, after almost 2 weeks of using it, I can confidently say it's been an amazing experience.
Performance:
This 2020 M1 powered MacBook Pro is a true powerhouse. I’m not a new Mac user and hence knew everything that I would expect from a MacBook. The M1 chip is incredibly fast, and the 8GB RAM keeps everything running smoothly. The Retina display is absolutely gorgeous, with stunning clarity and vivid colors.
Battery Life:
The battery life on this refurbished MacBook Pro is far better than I anticipated. I easily get a full day's work done on a single charge, This is a huge upgrade from my previous laptop, which constantly needed to be plugged in.
Value:
Going refurbished was a fantastic decision. I saved a significant amount of money compared to buying a brand new model, and the performance is practically indistinguishable. The fact that it came with a Geek-Squad warranty gave me extra peace of mind.
Overall Satisfaction:
Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with my refurbished MacBook Pro. It's a fantastic machine that delivers exceptional performance, amazing battery life, and all at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
Oh…did I forget to mention the condition in which I received it? You can’t tell the difference from a brand new once it’s out of the box. There was no scratch or any other deficineny that I could point fingers at.
If you're on the fence about going refurbished, I highly recommend it!
Personal Advice (not a disclaimer):
I've purchased Geek-Squad refurbished products from Best Buy in past too and they have not let me down so far in my decisions. Just do your own research before you buy as each product is created different and every used product may not be truly Geek Squad Certified Refurbished (GSRF). So look out carefully the product notes clearly mentioning the GSRF label before you move forward. Happy hunting!
