Apple Canada refurbished pricing shenanigans
Is Apple refurbished worth the small savings?
Do you buy refurbished products on Apple.com?
Is buying refurbished from apple worth it?
Another multiple Apple refurb buyer here. The machine will be indistinguishable from new, aside from a plain shipping box. Same warranty as a new machine. And you can always add AppleCare.
More on reddit.comOn the Apple Canada refurbished site, it costs $200 to bump up to 16gb RAM, $200 to get 512gb SSD, but it's $430 extra to get both. Am I missing something, or is this just a blatant cash grab?
I am looking at getting either a refurbished or new Macbook Pro 16" with Apple M3 Max. The prices on the Apple certified refurbished are only slightly less than the brand new, and my hope (or guess) is that they will be basically brand new. However, I have purchased refurb computers via Dell many times and I like them but they tend to have less battery life to them (I don't mind that about the Dells because I felt like I got a substantial discount).
My question is if anyone has had any experience buying an M3 Max refurbed and what the condition was actually like and if they felt like the amount of price savings was good but without sacrificing quality?
