TL;DR: As of Dec. 31, you can pick up a refurbished MacBook Pro (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for only $449.99 instead of $649.99. That’s a savings of 30%.
With Apple’s notoriety for being stingy on discounts, there are only a few surefire ways to score a bargain on their products. If you’re a student, you can take advantage of the education pricing. If you’re an entrepreneur, you can benefit from the business pricing. You may also have been lucky enough to have received an Apple gift card this Christmas.
If none of these things apply to you, you can score a deeply discounted Apple product by buying refurbished units. Case in point: for a limited time, this like-new 13.3-inch MacBook Pro is on sale for only $449.99.
While it’s not the newest MacBook Pro on the block, this 2017 laptop still packs everything MacBooks are known for. It comes with an Intel Core i5 dual-core processor and 8GB RAM to allow for smooth multitasking, a 13.3-inch IPS Retina display with LED backlighting and Intel Iris Graphic 640 for immersive streaming and browsing, and a generous 256GB of storage for housing your files and media.
If you’re always on the go, its lithium-ion polymer battery can last up to 10 hours on a single charge, while its Bluetooth 4.2 technology lets you connect it to various peripherals like a keyboard, mouse, and wireless headset. There are also Thunderbolt 3 ports for mirroring video to an external display.
Other nifty features are also built into this productivity machine, including dual-band WiFi, a 720p webcam, dual microphones, stereo speakers, and so much more.
This MacBook Pro is from 2017, so it’s not fresh off the shelves, and it may also have light cosmetic marks on the case. But it’s guaranteed to have been cleaned and tested to work just like new.
