Apple has begun selling certified refurbished 13-inch MacBook Pro models with the M1 chip in the United States and Canada for the first time since the laptop was launched in November 2020. As usual, the refurbished models have an approximate discount of 15 percent compared to the new equivalent models.

Apple’s refurbished online store has the 13-inch base MacBook Pro model with the M1 chip available for $ 1,099 in the United States, for example, compared to Apple’s usual price of $ 1,299 for that model. This configuration includes the 8-core M1 chip with 8 GB of unified memory and 256 GB of SSD storage in silver or space gray.
Apple claims the refurbished MacBook Pro models are thoroughly inspected, tested, cleaned and repackaged with a USB-C power adapter and a USB-C cable in the box. In our opinion, a refurbished MacBook Pro is virtually indistinguishable from a new model, so it represents a good opportunity to save. However, keep in mind that third-party resellers can offer better deals over time, so be sure to monitor the summary of our offers.
Apple’s refurbished Macs are covered by a one-year limited warranty and have a 14-day return policy. AppleCare + coverage can also be purchased.
