How new does Apple refurbished MacBooks actually feel?

Just bought an m4 macbook pro 24 ram from there for 1530 pre tax and wanted to know how the quality will likely be
Also wanted to know how good it is, I come from a macbook air m3 16 ram
Its incredible but it can’t handle AI stuff, it can handle development better than most people give it credit for but I was constantly writing 3 ram to ssd and it was getting really hot with my work
I am looking at getting either a refurbished or new Macbook Pro 16" with Apple M3 Max. The prices on the Apple certified refurbished are only slightly less than the brand new, and my hope (or guess) is that they will be basically brand new. However, I have purchased refurb computers via Dell many times and I like them but they tend to have less battery life to them (I don't mind that about the Dells because I felt like I got a substantial discount).
My question is if anyone has had any experience buying an M3 Max refurbed and what the condition was actually like and if they felt like the amount of price savings was good but without sacrificing quality?
Thinking of picking up a refurbished MacBook Air from Apple to save around $400.
I’ve read they replace outer shells and batteries if needed but I’m still hesitant.
For those who’ve bought one in the last year, did it feel brand new out of the box?
Or could you still tell it had been used before?
