Review: Ultimate Guide of Buying Refurbished Macbooks on desertcart - I’m really happy with this purchase. I received the 32-core version, and the battery health is around 90%. Aside from some shine on the keyboard, the machine is basically flawless with almost no scratches. 1. Yes — even in 2025, this is still a very powerful laptop. 2. You can choose “other sellers,” but I personally went with Sold and Shipped by desertcart. It took a few extra days, but it was worth it. I’m pretty sure the unit I got has never been repaired or opened — all the screws look brand-new, and the system was still on an August 2024 version. I feel like desertcart just cleaned it, wiped the data, and put it into storage, which is exactly what I wanted cause it lets me see the laptop’s true condition. I don’t trust third-party “refurbished” units cause you never really know what repairs were done, what parts they used, or whether you’ll actually receive something in “excellent” condition. 3. Based on other reviews, it seems like desertcart mixes the 24-core and 32-core GPU models together, so you won’t know which one you’ll get until it arrives. Unless you have very specific needs, getting the 24-core version isn’t a big deal — you won’t notice a difference in daily use unless you’re a true professional user or someone who actually plays games on a Mac (pls dont). 4. After it arrives, you should check the display (it’s extremely expensive to replace — if there’s any dead pixels, I recommend returning it) and make sure the keyboard is fine. You can check your GPU core count and battery cycles in System Report. Then definitely run Apple Diagnostics to make sure there’s no hardware issues. If you’re extra cautious, you can test your SSD speed with Blackmagic and run Geekbench to confirm CPU/GPU performance. 5. Mine came with a 96W charger that looks original but has no branding, plus a USB-C cable. 96W can’t fully support this laptop under maximum load, but it’s definitely enough for everyday use. The USB-C ports on this machine only go up to 100W, so if you want to actually hit 140W charging, you’ll need a 140W power adapter and a MagSafe cable. 6. On the older MacBooks, the design basically forced you to replace the entire top case for repairs, but this generation has been redesigned. You can replace keycaps or the battery much more easily. If you’ve ever owned a MacBook with a Touch Bar, you know exactly what I mean. Overall, this was a great deal for me. I compared and researched for quite a while before buying, and eventually chose the “Sold by desertcart” option. The only thing that worried me was noticing reviews after I checked out saying some people received the 24-core version.
Review: Amazing Laptop - This laptop is amazing. Coming out of the box, it looked brand new. I havent had any issues. I am a graphic designer, so this laptop is capable of running all illustrator, photoshop, indesign, and even after effects with no problem at all. Especially with after effects, I can run it well without any issues. The battery life is also so much longer than my last macbook. The large display is also very nice and has a beautiful picture on the screen. Exporting things also is very quick, especially with motion graphics. Honestly I feel like it is very much worth the money for the beefy specs it has, the M1 max chip is great. This laptop was a great investment overall

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ultimate Guide of Buying Refurbished Macbooks on Amazon

### ⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not “excellent.”
*by M***D on November 26, 2025*

So, this was sold as being in “excellent” condition. For the most part, it is, but it has a few obvious imperfections that I think make “good” a more accurate assessment of its condition. Roughly 10 minor divots in the display, though not very noticeable when the display is illuminated, and less so with an anti-glare screen protector over it. Seemed to have some sort of stickiness around the lid and in the crevice around the trackpad. Bits of debris under some of the keys, though, the keys weren’t worn down at all like I was expecting. A big one was the battery health. Anything under 80%, I’d planned to return it. Luckily, it’s at 88%, which feels fair to me at the price point. Though, the lack of a MagSafe cable is a bit of a drag. Last issue. Small gashes/gouges around the edges of the lid, and some light scratches on the outer bottom of the body. If you can live with some cosmetic imperfections, this is well worth the money over buying new. P.S., it was labeled as being “Silver,” but it’s Space Gray.
