The Apple MacBook Pro is a fantastic computer, but some people are turned off by the “Apple tax” that makes them more expensive than Windows PCs with comparable specs. Today’s Deal of the Day at Amazon is all about “renewed” MacBook Pros, which slashes their already-reduced prices even further. So much for the Apple tax. Hurry, though, because the deal goes away tonight.
Renewed 13-Inch MacBook Pro Deals
- 128GB, Space Gray or Silver – $779.99 (save $220)
- 256GB, Space Gray or Silver – $889.99 (save $310)
The deal is available on two versions of the mid-2017 MacBook Pro. Aside from the size of the SSD, they have identical specs. Both configurations are available in either silver or space gray.
As for the specs, you’ll get a MacBook Pro with a gorgeous 13.3-inch Retina display. It comes equipped with a seventh-gen Intel Core i5 dual-core processor, 8GB DDR 3 memory, and an integrated Intel Iris Plus graphics processor. It also has two Thunderbolt 3 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.
Notably, these machines don’t have the controversial Touch Bar, which will surely satisfy the anti-Touch Bar crowd. The description says MacOS Sierra comes preinstalled, but you can easily upgrade to Catalina — the most recent Mac operating system — for free.
“Renewed” is Amazon’s word for “refurbished.” Amazon inspects and tests all of its renewed products and promises they’ll work and look like new. On top of Amazon’s standard return policy, these MacBooks come with a “90-day Renewed Guarantee,” which means you’ll get a replacement or refund if it doesn’t work as expected. For a longer safeguard, you can also tack on a 2- or 4-year protection plan.
All in all, this is a great deal on a fantastic computer that costs far less than a new MBP. But if you like it, don’t delay. This deal ends tonight.
