It goes without saying that Apple has built a reputation for high quality in its design and user interface for decades. Mac products continue to garner devoted Apple fans who would not consider using a non-Apple phone, desktop, laptop, tablet, and more. If you are a fan or entertaining the idea of getting into the world of Macs, read on and you’ll understand the beauty of shopping for a refurbished Mac!

1.New Macs are Pricey!

Macs are so pricey the brand does not have a lion’s share of the market. In fact, in terms of computers, Windows/PC users comprise around 91 percent of the market, while Mac users only account for approximately 5 percent. Why? Because Windows/PCs are more affordable. Yet Macs are considered by many to be built with much higher quality components and seem to come with fewer glitches. Windows/PCs are known for having an ongoing stream of required updates and user actions that must be taken to ensure their computers remain up-to-date and glitch-free.

Macs are lower maintenance… for example:

  • Macs are known for having fewer security vulnerabilities.
  • Mac’s user interface is streamlined and extremely user-friendly. You don’t have to be a techie to figure out different processes.
  • Apple products are compatible with one another, which makes for fewer operating learning curves.

The bottom line is that Macs are often considered superior products in many ways, yet new, off-the-shelf products are often price-prohibitive. For this reason, refurbished Macs can be a perfect solution.

2. Refurbished Macs are as Good as New

For those who confuse refurbished Macs vs. used Macs, let us clarify. Refurbished Macs have been previously owned and recycled to allow the owner to upgrade. In some instances, the previously owned Mac has been returned due to some defect, such as dead pixels on an iPad. Either way, the trusted third-party dealer runs these recycled Mac products through rigorous testing, repairing, and upgrading to ensure the products meet their original standard.

A used Mac is simply that – a computer that is being sold as used and “as is”. It’s like buying a used car without having the assurance that every part is still in place and working properly. It can still be a good deal but is a bit riskier.

With a refurbished Mac, you never have to worry about buying a second-hand product that doesn’t meet Apple standards and requirements… so you can feel confident.

Get more for your money when you buy a refurbished product that is as good as buying it off-the-original-shelf. Plus, when you buy a refurbished Mac through a trusted third-party dealer, you are getting the biggest discount available. (When buying a refurbished product through Apple, the discount margin is much slimmer.)

The bonus is that DV Warehouse’s third-party refurbished Macs include both initial tech support along with a 90-day warranty!

3. Your Needs vs Refurbished Mac Models

If you are new to buying a refurbished product and/or are not knowledgeable about the differences between Mac models, it is important to determine how it will be used. For example, if high-performance gaming is a priority, then you may want to take a look at the 15-inch MacBook Pro. If 3-D modelling is the greatest need, you may want to find a MacBook Pro that has tons of processing power. Or if basic, office-type usage is the requirement, the MacBook Air can be just perfect, particularly if the user is not planning to be sitting in one place at all times – as it is indeed, as light as air.
