Best place to buy a refurbished MacBook?

Amazon/ebay seem to have a high value prospect to ripoff potential correlation

 

Doesn’t Amazon have like a guarantee or somethin

 

https://www.apple.com/shop/refurbished/mac

 

If I remember correctly... the same warranty as a new unit for about 20% discount?

 

Covered by Apple’s one-year limited warranty This will open a new window.

Covered by Apple’s 14-day returns policy This will open a new window.

AppleCareThis will open a new window. product can be purchased





I keep looking at those M1s. Need to see how the keyboard holds up.

 

I have been checking occasionally


I guess I should lower my standards or raise my price range. I was hoping for 16gb of ram, 2018 or newer for less than $1k...

that said, anything is an improvement lmao

 

I can say I have a 2018 for work and I carry around a Keychron K2 because the MBP keyboard is dogshit. Tons of dropped presses and double/triple presses that making coding a PITA.

I have heard the M1 keyboard is better but I haven't touched one yet.

 

I'll be due for a new work puter early next year if I don't quit before then lol

 

What if I told you you could have an upgrade and a downgrade at the same time...

 

Okay Spotify, I like hardcore but I wasn't ready for a whole song that was heavy beatdown

I guarantee that I5 is faster tho

 

My Air has the awful butterfly keyboard. Misses some keystrokes and doubles others.

I have a 2020 Pro (the last of the Intel models) and the keyboard is significantly better. I'd have gladly paid extra to not have the touch bar, though.

 

I hear you, the touch bar is such a gimmick IMO

Do you use an alternate keyboard? I was using one of the apple ones but some jackass stole mine off my desk at work while I was WFH

 

Nah, I'm one of those freaks that actually uses laptop screens and keyboards. I do have a nice Logitech Bluetooth trackball, though.

The Macbooks are for home use. For work I've got a monstrosity of a Dell (Precision mobile workstation with 8 cores and 64gb RAM that doubles as a boat anchor). I do have a monitor and keyboard for that, but they're nothing special.
