Macbook pro review – yours for only $1,699

In this article Macbook pro review we will detail the obvious benefits to buying a refurbished Macbook pro notebook without compromising on the quality or functional capabilities of a brand new notebook.

To suggest a refurbished notebook to some people is a ridiculous concept. To others this very same concept makes perfect sense and for good reason.
The word ‘refurbished’ in some peoples eyes conjures up images of dysfunctional and tatty looking goods as they can only associate this word with ‘second hand’ or ‘used’ and unfortunately for them, they can’t see beyond their own misinformed beliefs.
On the other hand they see ‘brand new’ as being a positive symbol of their status and wealth and to afford ‘brand new’ clearly makes these people better people, right?

Wrong!

In many instances, most corporations will create new models simply to keep generating interest in their products and more importantly to keep generating sales.
Granted you may get additional upgrades with the ‘brand new’ notebook or their may be a new development in the design of the model but 99% of the time, the old notebook is as good as the new.
Furthermore you can often purchase upgrades as and when you need them which will keep your notebook bang up to date with the new models, but won’t cost you an additional $500 to do so.

Its not like I disagree with buying new. Hell if you do buy new then I encourage you to carry on as I firmly belief that one man’s poison is another man’s medicine.
What your getting for your money is what you want to get and at the end of the day its nobody’s business what you do with your cold hard cash.

But if only you could look beyond this reasoning for just one moment then you would see possibilities that could save you a small fortune.

It makes perfect sense to buy at a cheaper price, especially if the notebook you are buying has all of the applications and specifications of a new model.

This isn’t some second rate back street vendor who is refurbishing these Macbook pro laptops. This is Apple who refurbish these notebooks and each notebook is taken through some very strict and detailed checks before it is even considered for resale.

Check out what Apple says about its refurbished products:

  • Each Apple Certified Refurbished Product: is fully tested (including full burn-in testing).
  • is refurbished with replacement parts for any defective modules identified in testing.
  • is put through a thorough cleaning process and inspection.
  • is repackaged (including appropriate manuals, cables, new boxes, etc.).
  • includes the operating software originally shipped with the unit and the custom software offered with that system. See each products “Learn More” for more details.
  • is given a new refurbished part number and serial number.
  • is placed into a Final QA inspection prior to being added to sell able refurbished stock.

Refurbishment procedures follow the same basic technical guidelines as Apple’s Finished Goods testing procedures.

Buying a refurbished Macbook pro isn’t about scrimping or saving money only to lose out on quality. Apple’s refurbished Macbook pro notebooks are as good as any new models only a damn site cheaper.
Our own investigations have unveiled some great deals on the Macbook pro and on other Apple products.
