Grade A: This is our best cosmetic grade — the screen is scratch-free, and any marks on the lid or casing are light micro-scratches you would not notice at arm's length. The keyboard and trackpad show no visible wear.
Grade C: There are a few faint scratches on the screen, only visible when it's switched on. The casing shows visible scratches, scuffs or small dents, and there's noticeable wear on the keyboard and trackpad — this one has clearly been used, but works like new.

About this macbook pro
The 2019 MacBook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar is a professional ultrabook built for demanding workflows, now available refurbished with 16GB RAM and fast SSD storage. This generation introduced the quad-core Intel Core i5 processor and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645, delivering significant performance gains over the previous dual-core models. Whether you're editing video, managing complex spreadsheets or running multiple applications simultaneously, the combination of 16GB memory and up to 512GB SSD storage provides responsive performance for office work, creative projects and software development. Each unit has been professionally refurbished, tested and graded to ensure it meets our quality standards before dispatch.
Apple's 2019 MacBook Pro 13-inch features the innovative Touch Bar – a dynamic OLED strip that replaces traditional function keys with context-sensitive controls for your applications. The 13.3-inch Retina display delivers sharp, colour-accurate visuals for photo editing, design work and everyday computing, whilst the all-aluminium unibody construction provides the durability expected from Apple's professional laptop range. Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 handles light creative tasks, casual gaming and multiple external displays without dedicated GPU power consumption. The UK English keyboard layout ensures correct key placement for British users, with the Touch ID sensor integrated into the power button for secure login and Apple Pay authentication.
Performance for everyday work and creative tasks
The refurbished MacBook Pro 13-inch 2019 combines quad-core Intel processing with 16GB RAM across every configuration in stock, ensuring smooth multitasking whether you're working in Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud or development environments. The 256GB SSD configuration suits users who store files in the cloud or on external drives, whilst the 512GB option provides ample local storage for larger media libraries, virtual machines or offline project files. Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 supports hardware-accelerated video encoding and can drive external 4K displays via Thunderbolt 3, making this a capable machine for photographers, video editors working with 1080p footage, and designers running vector-graphics applications.
Display and connectivity for professional workflows
The 13.3-inch Retina display offers a native resolution that delivers crisp text rendering and detailed image preview, with True Tone technology automatically adjusting colour temperature to match ambient lighting conditions. Four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports provide high-speed connectivity for external storage, displays and docking solutions – two on each side of the chassis for flexible cable routing. These ports support charging, data transfer up to 40Gbps, DisplayPort video output and USB 3.1 Gen 2 peripherals through a single connector. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ensure wireless connectivity for networks, mice, keyboards and audio devices, whilst the 3.5mm headphone jack supports high-impedance headphones for audio professionals.
Configurations in stock and choosing the right grade
Our current inventory includes both 256GB and 512GB SSD configurations with 16GB RAM, available in Silver and Space Grey finishes. Grade A units exhibit minimal cosmetic imperfections and are ideal for users who prioritise appearance alongside performance, whilst Grade C units may show signs of previous use but deliver identical technical performance at a lower entry point. The Touch Bar, Touch ID sensor, keyboard, trackpad, display and all ports are tested on every unit regardless of grade. Storage capacity is the primary decision: 256GB suits cloud-first workflows and users with external storage arrays, whilst 512GB accommodates local file libraries, Boot Camp partitions or offline media collections without constant drive management.
Who this refurbished MacBook Pro suits
The 2019 MacBook Pro 13-inch is well-suited to office professionals requiring reliable performance for spreadsheet modelling, presentation creation and video conferencing, creative users working with photography, graphic design or 1080p video editing, and developers running integrated development environments, virtualisation platforms or web-development stacks. The combination of 16GB RAM and quad-core processing handles concurrent applications smoothly, whilst the Retina display and colour accuracy suit design-focused work. Students in media, business or computer-science courses benefit from the professional-grade build quality and software compatibility, and the UK keyboard layout ensures correct typing for British English users working with documents, code or written content daily.

Is the refurbished MacBook Pro 13-inch 2019 good for video editing?
Yes, the 2019 MacBook Pro 13-inch handles 1080p video editing well with its quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 16GB RAM and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645. Applications like Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve run smoothly for HD projects, colour grading and effects work. The 512GB SSD configuration provides more headroom for video files and project caches. For 4K editing workflows or intensive motion-graphics work, you may benefit from a model with dedicated GPU, but this machine is capable for most HD video production tasks, especially when paired with external storage for media libraries.
Which storage size should I choose – 256GB or 512GB?
Choose 256GB if you store files in cloud services like iCloud Drive, Google Drive or Dropbox, or if you use external drives for photos, videos and large documents. The 256GB option suits office users, web developers and anyone comfortable managing storage actively. Choose 512GB if you prefer keeping files locally, run virtual machines or Boot Camp partitions, work with large media libraries offline, or install multiple professional applications with substantial cache requirements. Both configurations feature the same 16GB RAM and processor, so storage capacity is the main performance consideration for your workflow.
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade C?
Grade A is excellent, with very light signs of use. Grade B is good, with light signs of use such as fine scratches. Grade C is fair, with clear signs of use. Every grade is fully tested and working.
Does this MacBook Pro come with a charger and keyboard?
Every refurbished MacBook Pro 13-inch 2019 includes a compatible charger in the box. The keyboard is built into the laptop chassis and features UK English layout with the Touch Bar above the number row and Touch ID integrated into the power button. No separate external keyboard is included, as the MacBook Pro is a complete laptop with an integrated keyboard and trackpad ready to use out of the box.
Can I connect external monitors to the 2019 MacBook Pro 13-inch?
Yes, the four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports support external displays via DisplayPort video output. You can connect one 5K display at 60Hz, or up to two 4K displays at 60Hz simultaneously using USB-C to DisplayPort cables or adapters. Thunderbolt 3 also supports USB-C monitors with built-in docking and charging, HDMI adapters for older displays, and daisy-chaining compatible Thunderbolt peripherals. Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645 drives multiple external screens for design work, spreadsheet modelling across wide displays, and extended desktop workflows without dedicated GPU.
What is included in the 12-month warranty?
Every unit comes with a 12-month warranty covering faults. It excludes accidental damage and normal wear and tear.
