TL;DR: As of August 5, get this refurbished 2012 MacBook Pro 13″ for only $268.99 — a 49% discount.
You may need a new laptop, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you need a brand-new one. Off the shelf, new computers are pretty pricey, but that’s a necessary expense if you need the latest hardware for work or school. However, if you just want a computer you can travel with and get a little work done on, refurbished computers may be a more budget-friendly option.
This Apple MacBook Pro is lightweight and in great condition with 8GB RAM and a 500GB HDD. Get it for just $268.99 (reg. $536).
Save 49% on a MacBook Pro
This computer can’t match the performance of a brand-new MacBook Pro, but a brand-new MacBook can’t match this price. Plus, you might not need the newest hardware if you’re not planning on playing the latest games or installing other demanding software. Maybe you simply want a lightweight computer that can run Microsoft Office.
Buying refurbished devices isn’t really the same as buying used. This model has been restored thoroughly, and it has a grade “B” refurbished rating. You might notice some light scuffs and scratches, but it’s nothing that will affect performance. An aftermarket 30-day parts and labor warranty comes with your purchase.
Some of the other hardware goodies you can expect from this computer include an HD FaceTime webcam, a two-core Intel i5-3210M processor, and the 13.3-inch display is still a stunning surface for working, streaming, or browsing.
A MacBook Pro under $300
