    It probably wasn't bought and returned in a few days. Usually apple refurbished replaces the battery so that resets the charge cycle count.

      Wow, thanks mate. Can't really trust what we see here and the anywhere else on the internet. It's hell.

    Everything is basically new when you buy, except for the internal components. You do get a new battery!

    Not all refurbished necessarily means someone used it... Some are just not sold macbooks

    My brand new Macbook Pro 16 inch directly from Apple that was sealed also had a cycle count of 1. I think it is from workers in tut factory testing thr computer for quality control issues. So your Macbook may have not even went through a full cycle with a customer, May have been from the factory

      Its standard for a refurbisched product to replace battery. So ye its a new battery with 1 cycle count from testing it.

      Every Mac I have bought new over the years has a cycle count of at least 2, usually 4 once 6.. they make sure the batter can run down and charge to full capacity a few times. A small cycle count on a battery is normal like you say.

    It’s best just to buy it from the education store as there’s only a $60 difference between buying it new there and the refurbished. Plus you get the 150 dollar gift card. That's what I did last month as there's no verification and you'll benefit from getting 20% off Applecare

    Appreciate the review of the refurbished product bro - I've been contemplating whether I should buy refurb or brand new.
    I know there's about a $200-300 CAD difference between new and refurb. Don't get me wrong - its a good discount - but just doesnt seem convincing enough at the Pro 14" level to get used.
    I might as well pay that extra $200-300 to get that brand new experience.
    HOWEVER - I think at the Macbook AIR level - I think refurb is definitely worth it (IMO)
