Refurbished M2 Pro MacBook Pro 14' Unboxing - Space Grey

[EDIT - I have since bought and now use an M3 Pro 14’ as quite literally two days after unboxing and setting up the M2 Pro, the refurbished store had some M3 Pro’s in stock…I’d be silly not to return the M2 Pro and take the newer one for a smaller bit more!]
I had been in the market for a new Mac for a while as my old intel i5 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM was struggling with simple tasks such as web browsing.
I was more interested in Apple’s Pro lineup - so this helped narrow my choices to either the new M3 models or the M2/M1 versions in the 14 inch form factor.
I also knew I needed more RAM but I didn’t want to shell out £200 for this on any other model in Apple’s lineup as this upgrade alone on say a base M3 MacBook Pro is not with the exorbitant amount. So with this, my choice was down to the M1 Pro, M2 Pro or M3 Pro.
After a lot of research (mainly in the form of UA-cam videos), I didn’t think I needed the M3 Pro, particularly as that started at £2099. I had checked eBay and online stores for any discounts or clearance on old M2 stock but found the best value in Apple’s refurbished store (don’t get me wrong, the occasional bargain pops up on eBay but they get snapped up quickly). I have previously used the Apple refurbished store to buy an M1 iPad Pro, and that device has was like new - I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell the difference!
The Apple certified refurbished store really is a game changer and I felt confident it would be at the same standard as a new device. It was now a matter of waiting for the right spec and model to come into stock. So after checking the store for days, this model finally came available so I snapped it up.
I thought this short video would be helpful for anyone wondering what it is like to unbox a refurbished M2 Pro from Apple, and how this may differ from buying brand new. Honestly, the only difference is the outer box! The condition of this laptop is like new, it is immaculate and I am super happy with this purchase.
The exact model I bought was:
14 inch M2 Pro MacBook Pro Space Grey refurbished for £1679 (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD 10CPU, 16GPU).
Thank you
