Apple MacBook Pro 15-inch "Core i9" 2.6GHz (Touch bar/2018) 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Silver (Condition:...

A 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro with the Touch Bar for meaningfully less than new is exactly the kind of buy that makes sense, especially once you know precisely what you're getting.

The honest bit first. This unit has minimal nicks and scratches on the casing from normal use, and the battery has racked up 652 charge cycles, so a new battery will be needed before too long. Both of these are reflected in the price.

Screen: No visible scratches.

Casing: Minimal nicks and scratches, and a dent at the bottom consistent with normal use.

Battery: The battery has done 652 cycles and will need replacing before long, so expect reduced runtime between charges until it's swapped out.

Functions: The system functions have been tested and operate normally.

Overall: A solidly usable 15-inch MacBook Pro with light cosmetic wear and a battery that's earned its keep. Budget for a battery swap down the line and it'll keep going strong.

Warranty: Covered for 12 full months against faults, not accidental damage. If it stops working as it should, we sort it out. Battery wear excluded.

In the box: Generic charging cable. Original box not included.

There is only one, and it might be in someone else's cart right now. A cart does not hold it, checking out does. The first person to check out claims it, and we then hold it just for them for 2 hours to pay. Settle within that window and it is yours. Let it lapse and it goes back up for whoever is next in line. Pay before 13:00 on a weekday (not Friday) and it is packed and dispatched the same day.

Door to door, anywhere in South Africa. Every device is local stock, sent via The Courier Guy with a tracking number the moment it leaves us. No imports, no customs queue, no waiting weeks for a parcel from overseas.

The price you see is the price you pay. Because it ships from right here, there are no surprise VAT bills or import duties landing after checkout, the kind that catch people out when they buy refurbished from abroad. What you pay is the whole story.
