No touchscreen but the keyboard is backlit. The battery has 13 cycles, so has clearly been replaced, I just hope it isn't some cheapo replacement. Cystaldisk says the SSD has run over 1700 hours and 1000+ power on count, so it's had over three years of solid use, which may give pause to some. I tested it for a few days under Win 11 and everything was perfect. Must be the best finger print scanner I've used on a windows machine.
I've installed Ubuntu 25 on it and everything runs great except the fingerprint scanner, but I can see it's detected and I probably just need to fiddle with it a bit.
edit: the screen isn't very bright or have nice colours. Fine for office work but doesn't hold a candle to any recent macbook.

The fingerprint reader is definitely awesome. I wiped mine immediately and put Arch Linux (BTW). It was picked up by fprintd and I even did some pam configuration so I can use the fingerprint reader in the terminal too. It's pretty convenient to be able to sudo with your fingerprint.
The description on the one I got said it had an Intel Wi-Fi adapter in it. Mine came with a Qualcomm QCNFA765 which works very well.
The battery had less than 10 cycles on it and shows 100% health. The SSD showed 14,600 hours and 561 power cycles. 12.1 TB read and 19.6 TB written.
One thing that was concerning is I opened it up to make sure it was clean inside and I found an extra screw floating around loose. It was for the second m.2 slot so I threaded it on the stud. So they did do some work on it and apparently didn't do the best job.
The top cover had a skin on it so I removed that to inspect the shell under. There is a small dent in it but nothing even remotely serious. The rest of the laptop is in very good condition.

MacBook Pro: ~135% sRGB
45% NTSC panel: ~60–65% sRGB
You're looking at roughly half the color volume. Practically: colors on the 45% NTSC panel will look dull, desaturated, and "cheap" next to your Macs.
