Want to buy a new Mac without spending a fortune? You will know that buying a new Mac is expensive, but there is a way to get a new Mac for less money.
We don't mean buying a Macro-hand from someone on eBay, but that you can get a new Mac directly from Apple for a small fee.
Want to know how? Just have to log into Apple's official website for Macs identified. You can get Macs of recent years, all for less money than standard Apple.
However, price is not the only reason to buy in the Apple Store refresh. Here we will tell you all the reasons why you should buy a restored Mac.
1. They are like new
You may have thought that buying from Apple stores is like buying a handgun – Mac had a previous owner and for some reason returned their Mac to Apple.
The Mac you are buying may not have come directly from the factory, but your connection with the previous customer will be short. The previous owner may have exercised its rights as a consumer and returned that it was not used within 14 days (which is a refund policy with Apple).
Or the Mac may have been used as a display model, but this does not mean that it has been used by many people and is unlikely to be widely considered.
2. They are cheap
When you buy your Mac at your nearest Apple store, an Apple Authorized Dealer or store online from Apple, you can only buy the latest version of a specific Mac.
On the other hand, if you go to the Reconstruction store, you'll find Macs of recent years at a lower price than the ones that follow.
The really interesting thing is that these Macs are generally not very different from current models. Usually, when Apple updates the Mac, it gives the processor a slight boost (sometimes it's just a point update, not a production update).
In 2019, for example, Apple is making a small change to the MacBook Air. The specifications didn't change at all, the only change was the screen technology. You can buy the 2018 MacBook Air at 1.6 GHz with a 128 GB SSD computer store for 849 euros.
The 2019 model, which is about the same, costs $ 1,099 new. (Apple currently sells 128 GB variants, but you can buy 256 GB variants here in the United Kingdom and in the United States.)
3. You can get more out of your money
Shopping at a restaurant is a great way to get a stronger Mac than the current entry level for less money.
The cheapest laptop you can get is the new 1.6 GHz MacBook Air with 128 GB SSD, which costs 1,099. You can buy a 1.6 GHz MacBook Air with 128 GB SSD for $ 1,019 / $ 1,019. A pretty decent savings given that there is no difference between the two generations of the MacBook Air.
If you are looking for something more powerful than a MacBook Air, you can get a much more powerful Mac for less money by simply choosing a larger generation.
This is because, although the new Mac has a new generation of processors, you may find that last year's mid-range model costs less than the basic model of the new range.
For example, the 21.5-inch 3.0 GHz quad-core iMac in June 2017 costs US $ 1,059 in parts store. This is far better than the 2.3 GHz dual-core iMac that costs $ 1,099 new.
That "new" Mac is from 2017 and doesn't offer a Retina display. This might be any good mid-range Mac like the previous generation of high-end Macs, always worth checking out.
So here's the takeaway: check out the updated product store that Apple doesn't sell the old model with better specifications than the current generation.
4. The apple inspects and replaces parts where necessary
You might think that all of this is pretty cool, but these are Macs probably returned to Apple because of the failures on them. Would it be prudent to buy a Mac that has already proven to be faulty?
The good news here is that you can rest assured that any failures will be fixed by Apple. The company claims that all Macs restored include "full performance testing, replacement of original Apple components (if necessary)," and "complete cleaning."
The Mac you buy will have more checks checked than any other Mac from the factory, so you can be sure that a problem has been found.
5. You have a one-year warranty and 90 days technical support
Better yet, you have a one-year warranty, so if something goes wrong, repairing it will be easy and free.
You also get free technical support, which means you can call Apple if you have configuration issues, installation of software and any connection problem.
You can also add a one-year warranty up to three years when you purchase AppleCare protection when buying your restored Mac.
If you buy a second from another source, you will only have the warranty, and because the model you are buying may be more than one year old, this protection will be outdated.
6. Free shipping with free questions
As you buy an Apple Mac directly, it comes with other benefits. For example, not only will there be no shipping costs associated with your new Mac (Apple will ship it for free), but you will also be protected by Apple's 14-day return policy, which means if you change your mind you can return it, no questions, within weeks two.
7. You can have your new Mac today!
Another benefit is that if the Mac is in store at your local Apple store, you can download it today. And if you choose delivery, it may come tomorrow.
8. You can buy your restored Mac with financial options
If you have no money now you can get your new Mac. Apple offers financing options. Here in the UK, Barclays is offering 0% cash back up to 12 months if you want to buy a new Mac.
You should only ask for funding when you make a purchase. In the United States you can choose to add up to 18 months with a Barclaycard Visa credit card, or Apple offers its Apple card that provides a 3% daily return on your purchase from Apple.
You can also change the old product to get credit for your new purchase. You can get 592 euros of credit by switching to a MacBook Pro, for example.
9. You do not have to deal with the previous user
Working with Apple is a real benefit. You do not need to deal with a previous owner who may not be completely honest about problems with the machine, or it may be difficult if you later have problems.
Working directly with Apple should give you peace of mind that you are buying the advertised product and that if there is a problem it will be handled effectively.
Mac Restored can be for the current generation
You can swear that Apple will only sell models last year at the Renewed Store, but they can be current models.
You can currently buy a 21.5-inch Mac and Quad-core iMac from March 2019 – the current model – for $ 1,099, saving $ 200 compared to its regular price of $ 1,299
It's an excellent opportunity to get a new Mac for less money – and it only costs 10 times more than a replacement model that hasn't been updated since 2017.
