The refurbished Apple online store has the basic 13-inch MacBook Pro, with the M1 chip available for $ 1,099 in the United States, for example, compared to Apple’s regular price of $ 1,299 for this model. This configuration includes the 8-core M1 chip, with 8 GB of unified memory and 256 GB of SSD storage in silver or space gray.
Apple says the refurbished MacBook Pro models are inspected, tested, cleaned and repackaged with a USB-C power adapter and USB-C cable in the box. In our opinion, a refurbished MacBook Pro is practically indistinguishable from a new model, so this is a good opportunity for savings. However, keep in mind that third-party resellers can offer better deals over time, so make sure you monitor the summary of our offers.
Apple refurbished Macs are covered by a one-year limited warranty and have a 14-day return policy. AppleCare + coverage can also be purchased.
