Apple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale. While only some units are returned due to technical issues, every unit is evaluated to ensure it meets Apple's quality standards.

Apple says that all of the refurbished 16-inch MacBook Pros come with a 96w USB-C power adapter and a 2-meter USB-C charging cable. There are multiple different configurations available as of writing, including an Intel Core i9 beast with an 8TB SSD priced at $5,179. If that's a config you were considering buying new, this refurbished model is definitely worth considering.
