The RAM shortage is causing tech prices to rise everywhere, but there’s still one way to get affordable Apple tech. This MacBook Pro is technically refurbished, but you probably wouldn’t know from looking at it. The grade “A” rating means it’s in near-mint condition, but the price is still severely reduced. That’s how you can get a MacBook Pro for $429.97 (reg. $1,999).
This 2020 MacBook Pro runs on a 10th Gen quad-core Intel Core i5 at 2.0GHz, with Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz, plus 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. That’s to say it’s a solid setup for day-to-day work like heavy research and productivity apps. The 16GB of RAM is what helps it stay steady when you keep multiple apps open and switch between them all day.

The 1TB SSD pulls double duty. It keeps the system feeling quick, and it gives you plenty of local storage for work folders, photos, and larger files without having to dump everything onto an external drive right away. Boot times and app launches stay snappy, and file access is fast.
The 13.3-inch Retina display has a 2560 x 1600 resolution and up to 500 nits of brightness, so text looks crisp, and the screen holds up better in brighter rooms. True Tone is included, and it adjusts the display’s color temperature based on the light around you.
This model uses Apple’s Magic Keyboard. It also includes the Touch Bar for shortcuts in supported apps, plus Touch ID for sign-ins and password prompts.
For ports, you get four Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports that handle charging, external displays through DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3 data up to 40Gb/s, and USB 3.1 Gen 2 up to 10Gb/s. Wireless includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. For calls, there’s a 720p FaceTime HD camera, stereo speakers, and a three-mic array. Battery life is rated up to 10 hours.
