Apple MacBook Pro 15" (1TB SSD, Intel Quad Core i7, 2.3GHz, 16Gb)  *UPGRADED*


Purchased Certified Refurb. in mid-2021, this laptop has been barely used.  It's sole function was to stream movies to a Chromecast.  It has never been driven hard, nor has it ever been dropped.

Aside from a small blemish, on the underside, near a corner, the housing is in mint condition.  No flaws in the screen.  All LEDs light up.  Keyboard is clean.  Even the AC power brick is in excellent condition.

I've upgraded the RAM to 16Gb and swapped out the hard drive with a 1TB SSD.  (Both parts are factory fresh).  I also cleaned the internal fans.  Battery has 259 cycles out of expected 1,000.

Comes with a fresh install of OS 10.15 Catalina, putting this laptop in an out-of-box state.  Runs cool and quiet.
