Rating: 5/5 Best Mac Company in the World December 15, 2017 I’ve been using Macsales for over 15 years. The reason is simple. Great products, great prices, and great service. This is the first refurbished Mac I’ve ever bought. Essentially, new. Perfect description and great price. No issues whatsoever. Delivery was prompt and the packaging, again, as if it were new. I’ll never buy from anywhere else.

Rating: 5/5 All I will ever need. October 28, 2017 This MacBook pro has all I will ever need. After years with a 13" MacBook circa 2009, I decided it was time to upgrade. While this MacBook Pro was a bit of a stretch on the budget, I feel I got my monies worth. The unit looks good, only minor scratches on the top corners, the screen is perfect no key marks, scratches or dead pixels, the keyboard and deck are near perfect. The bottom well who cares. This laptop is very fast, it boots completely before my old MacBook gets the Apple up on the screen.Great packing for shipping. As I am 70+ this laptop will probably out live me. (lol)

Rating: 5/5 Just what I expected! May 8, 2017 I had this same model computer, with updated memory and SSD, stolen. When I went shopping for a new computer (MacBook Pro) all of the new models came with limited ports, some with only 1 or two. Heading to MacSales.com I found exactly what had been stolen and once my backup was restored, I felt I had my stolen computer back. Thanks for being the conduit for getting quality used Macs into the hands of those needing the same!

Rating: 5/5 Exceeds expectations August 8, 2015 I'd been looking for weeks to find a 2012 machbook pro in mint condition in the original box. I wanted this model because it is the last one with an optical drive, and still easy to upgrade. I was thrilled to find exactly what i wanted among the OWC used macbook pros. The condition of the macbook pro is absolutely perfect, it looks and feels brand new. Could not be happier with my purchase.
