It’s always a good idea to check Apple’s refurbished products page on the store when you’re thinking about bringing home a new family member (what? you don’t treat your Macs like family?). It should almost go without saying, but we’re all busy, forgetful beings.
Right now, the page is a treasure trove of great deals. MacBooks start at $899. They’ve got the original base Mac Pro for $1999. Then again, maybe you’d rather spend that 2k on the single quad core processor, 2 GB RAM, 320 GB hard drive, Radeon HD 2600 XT Mac Pro instead. I know I would.
Go check it now and pick me out something nice.
How reliable are Apple refurbished products? I'm wanting to get one of those refurbished MacBook Pros so I can lend my sister my current MacBook for school. I'd really like the model with the 512MB video card they have listed, as it's $500 cheaper.
Do they come in the original box and everything?
they don't come in the original box but in a plain brown cardboard box. I have bought 1 powerbook, 1 macbook pro and 2 ipods, all just fine
