Should I Buy a Refurbished Mac?

There are plenty of great reasons to buy a refurbished Mac, yet as with any good deal, there may be a couple of drawbacks. The drawbacks are minor, however, before you make any decisions, let’s review the pros and cons.

Pros & Cons of Buying a Refurbished Mac

Pros You Can Count On

Works like a New Mac: When you purchase a refurbished Mac computer, it is certified to be 100% functional and returned to factory settings!

You can Save Money: Brand new Macs can be costly so buying a refurbished one will save between 10%-50%. If funds are low or you are just trying to save money, buying a certified refurbished computer is a perfect solution.

Excellent Quality: You can have the confidence to know you are getting a quality product. Certified refurbished Macs have undergone robust and thorough testing, cleaning, and updating. The exterior may or may not show a little wear and tear, but you can be sure everything will be in outstanding working order right down to making sure every display pixel is alive and working.

Warranty: Did you know that Apple provides the same warranty period for a refurbished Mac as it does a new one? Plus, the best sellers will also include a warranty. Here at DV Warehouse, we offer a 90-day parts and labor warranty on top of the manufacturer’s limited warranty, so you can have confidence in your purchase knowing we’ve got you covered.

Clean Machines: Refurbished Macs are thoroughly cleaned, so you are not inheriting the previous owner’s interior or exterior dust or dirt.

Environmentally Friendly: Here is another consideration… buying a refurbished Mac supports sustainability and is an environmentally friendly decision. The majority of old computers that are not resold are discarded and trashed, most likely ending up in a landfill. Buying a refurbished laptop or desktop is a step toward slowing down the cycle of waste.

Cons

The Make & Model: The make and model you have been looking for may not be available when you need it. But if you are not in a hurry or can plan ahead, send a request to us at DV Warehouse. Our specialist will contact you and work with you to fulfill the request. Ultimately, you may have to settle for a slightly older make and model, however, remember Apple’s technology is developed to have a long-lasting lifespan.

Potential of Fraud: Beware of fraudulent online websites that claim to offer certified refurbished MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs, Mac desktops, and more. Some sellers are only performing quick fixes on pre-owned Macs and reselling them at the same price and under the guise of having fully refurbished them. Always check out the seller’s reviews, warranties, and return policies.
