Same thing in 2016 - I wanted a 512 SSD which had 10 day delivery wait when new (Apple Canada used to only stock 256 SSDs).īottom line: it saves you some (not a lot on current models) money, but it’s not totally foolproof - I got a glitchy machine. Or I can get a refurb (again around $500 CAD off) refurb in 5 days. Right now, I have a 13 day wait for a new 32GB ram MBP 2019 in Vancouver. It can also be worth it, depending on model and features, to buy used. Apple Certified Refurbished ensures that you have purchased a refurbished Apple device with the highest standards. No questions asked whatsoever, no pressure, and they gave me 2 weeks to ship it back. So, I called up Apple to return it (as if it was new, 2 week period). Also some glitchy keyboard but that might have dust and the notorious butterfly keyboards.Ī Genius hardware test didn’t show anything. Not many, say 2-3 over a 2 week period, but I was concerned I was getting some kinda unusual lemon - after all someone did return it. Sustain your productivity with this 13.3-inch Apple MacBook Pro laptop. About $500 off (CAD).Įnded up returning it - it had occasional instant reboots, like when I would plug in an external monitor. This Refurbished MacBook Pro is a Pre-Owned Macbook.
