Save nearly $200 on a refurbished MacBook Pro

TL;DR: As of June 21, you can pick up a refurbished MacBook Pro (Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD) for only $449.99 instead of $649.99. That's 30% in savings.


Shopping for refurbished tech is a smart way to find low prices for gear that could be more suited to the work you need it for; it's also a smart decision for the environment. You might not need to splurge on a super high-spec desktop with 60GB RAM if you're just writing a few essays or working on spreadsheets. Instead, you and your wallet might prefer this $449.99 refurbished MacBook Pro.

This MacBook Pro could be a reliable computer for students or professionals looking for a more affordable device that can run standard productivity software like Microsoft Office. The 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 dual-core processor can get up to 3.6GHz with the turbo boost. If you're noticing any lag while running Excel macros or opening a large document, just hit the boost. Make sure it's plugged in, though. This computer may be able to run for up to 10 hours on a single charge, but a turbo boost might drain it faster. 

Take advantage of built-in hardware like a backlit keyboard, 256GB SSD, a Force Touch trackpad, and stereo speakers made for a comfortable and immersive user experience. It also features a 720p webcam, dual microphones, and two USB-C ports compatible with Thunderbolt 3 devices for speedy file transfers and charging. Plus, it's got a 13.3-inch LED-backlit Retina display, which means plenty of screen space on which to view your latest projects (or stream your favorite show).

When you buy refurbished devices, you can feel good knowing it's an environmentally friendly decision, but it's also important to check the quality assessment to know what you'll be unboxing. This one has a grade "B," which means there may be some superficial signs of wear and tear on the shell or case of the computer.
