TL;DR: Save 52% with this back-to-school MacBook deal: Get a Refurbished Pro model with an Intel Core i7, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.
Think these refurbished MacBook deals are too good to be true? We don’t blame you. After all, it seems unlikely that you can get an Apple MacBook Pro for under $500. But the truth is, you just have to set your expectations realistically.
For example, this 2017 MacBook Pro won’t perform as well as brand-new models with the latest Apple silicon, but you might not need top-of-the-line performance for your school or creative projects. Plus, it’s only $429.99, compared to prices for new MacBook Pros starting at $1,599 on Apple’s website (yeah, yikes). And we have them in space gray and silver.
This MacBook Pro has an Intel Core i7 and 16GB of RAM to support demanding programs and apps. Creatives can run Adobe apps, coders might open Microsoft Visual Studio, and gamers will love playing online.
A 15.4-inch Retina display is also easier on your eyes in terms of size and aesthetics, and you’ll get the interactive Touch Bar with shortcuts that change with each app you open. This also has Touch ID for logging into your laptop or paying via Apple Pay using your fingerprint.
Refurbished devices won’t always look brand-new — but this grade “A” MacBook Pro isn’t far from it. You can expect near-mint condition and light signs of wear. We should also note that older devices eventually stop receiving OS support from Apple. This MacBook Pro cannot upgrade past macOS Ventura, but its most recent update was July 2024, so you’re set for the foreseeable future.
