Apple Begins Selling Certified Refurbished 16-Inch MacBook Pro Models Internationally

I sometimes hear James May talking about doing things "properly", which invokes imagery of when men were real men, and when all people worked with stoic determination in accordance to the existential standard of "how things are supposed to be." But that idea is a little silly.

This question about the macbook is not about what is "proper", but about engineering, and in this case about the specific design choices Apple has made in developing this product.

I am happy to say that the 16" macbook performs exactly as designed. As designed, that is the key concept.

Now, if you wish it to perform differently, I fear there isnt much recourse. I admit this can be frustrating, but it isnt Apple's fault that you wished they made a different product from what they decided to make. Furthermore, it isnt the fault of the computer, since it is merely the manifestation of Apple's idea of the single laptop that can be sold to the maximum number of people

Lucky for you!
Have you checked the scenarios? Do you have the Radeon 5500M? I have monitored and measured it with Inter Power Gadget and iStats Menus and the apple support forum is full with complaints like this. I think all devices are affected.

Thanks... but the benefit of Apple refurbished is I know I have Apple with their network of stores standing behind it vs. "Henk", who though is likely a good guy probably won't give a bitterballen about the sale the next day.
