Apple today began selling certified refurbished models of the 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 chip in the United States and Canada for the first time since the notebook was released in November 2020. As usual, the refurbished models will receive a discount of about 15 percent compared to the equivalent brand new models.

For example, at Apple’s refurbished online store, the base model 13-inch MacBook Pro with the M1 chip is available for $ 1099 in the United States, compared to Apple’s regular $ 1299 price for this model. This configuration includes the 8-core M1 chip with 8 GB unified memory and 256 GB SSD storage in silver or space gray.
Apple says refurbished MacBook Pro models are thoroughly inspected, tested, cleaned, and repackaged with a USB-C power adapter and USB-C cable included in the box. In our opinion, a refurbished MacBook Pro is virtually indistinguishable from a brand new model, so this is a great option to save money. However, keep in mind that third-party resellers can offer better deals over time, so make sure to keep an eye on our deals overview.
Apple’s refurbished Macs are backed by a one-year limited warranty and have a 14-day return policy. AppleCare + coverage can also be purchased.
