Unboxing Amazon Renewed MacBook Pro | A refurbished cover-up

I purchased a mid-2015 MacBook pro, MJLT2LL/A, with the Intel Core i7 at 2.5GHz, 512GB SSD, and dual graphics from Amazon under the Amazon Renewed program.

Amazon states that these laptops are refurbished from the seller, in this case CTS warehouse, and “have been inspected and tested by qualified suppliers to work and look like new, and come with the Amazon Renewed Guarantee.” All of that looks good on paper, but what do you actually get?

If it really were a like-new 2015 15-inch Macbook Pro for this price, then I would think it’s a pretty good buy. But I received something a bit different. I ended up receiving the highest tier 2.8GHz Core i7 with a 1TB SSD. Only issue, it was a bit beat up.

After recording this video, I went ahead and cleaned up the exterior by buffing out many of the scratches, cleaned up the ports, dusted the inside, blew out the fans, and re-pasted the GPU and CPU with new Corsair TM30 thermal paste. The result was a solid machine that looks fairly good, and stays 10-15 degrees-celsius cooler than before the re-paste. Fans stay quiet.

I’ll make another video soon to show the before and after. This video was edited on this MacBook Pro.
