Does anyone have any experiences with OWC refurbished computer sales? I have purchased batteries and memory sims but not a complete refurbished computer.

?

Thanks

But I have been buying products from OWC for MANY years, and have never been unhappy with the products or their service.

After my house fire, I salvaged the external drive housing with its drives, but no longer had the key to unlock it. I wrote to them and they sent a pair of keys by return mail.

I’m sure that if you had any problem with a refurb unit, they would respond promptly and satisfactorily.

They exchanged it for another and I am happily writing this reply on it. It only had a limited 90-day warranty, and it was the easiest resolution I have had with OWC. Years ago, it was a fight for me, even though most people report good service, I was the exception.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've purchased batteries and other Apple parts in the past but not a refurbished computer. My 2014 MB Pro 2.8 GHz suddenly will not charge the battery or run when plugged in. I spent a long time on the phone with Apple Tech Support where we tried multiple chargers, reset the ports, etc all to no avail. Went to the Apple Store where they determined the port where power cord is inserted is bad and possibly the main board of the computer. I am sending it back to 1Macguy (where I originally purchased it) for an evaluation and to determine if it can be fixed. If it can't be fixed then I will be looking for a refurbished computer with about the same specs or better (MB Pro Retina 15" mid-2014, 2.8 GHz i7, 16 GB, 512 GB HD, intel Irispro 1536 MB). Until then I am limping along on my 2009 MB Pro 10.11.6 which struggles to meet the new demands of websites!

I plan on staying with Intel chip computers and forgo moving up to the M1 through M4 units.

Thankfully, I have a bootable external back up drive (Super Duper) that had just been backed up the day before the meltdown!

Thanks again,

I bought a refurbished Mac Pro from OWC about five years ago. ?It came in well packaged. ?It was without scratches and performed as it should. ?

Cordially,?

Thanks for the information. Their online reviews also seem to all be solid.
