[Hidden-tech] Advice On Buying MacBook

[Jason Miranda | Miranda Design Studio, Inc.]

Hi Jaime,

My experience with Apple Refurbished has been great. When I buy new machines, I always look in the refurbished store first. I’ve bought several iMacs and Macbook pros from the refurb store. The machine before my current one was a refurbished 2008 15” macbook pro that I purchased in early 2009 that lasted until 2014.

The refurbished machines are open box returns or DOAs. Apple replaces the bad part or repackages it, then the whole machine is put back through another round of Q/A before it’s put up for sale in the refurb store. They have the same warranty as new machines and you can purchase AppleCare for them as well.
