Television commercials and online advertisements might try to convince you that you need the latest Apple^® devices. However, purchasing new isn’t always the smartest way to shop. If you’re looking for a different model or upgrade, you can often get a more-affordable option by buying a used Mac^®.

3 Reasons to Buy a Used Mac Computer

1. Quality

Refurbished Apple products are unlike other used electronic devices. They must go through rigorous testing to ensure their operational efficiency and are repackaged with a new serial number and refurbished part number. They’re also backed by a certified guarantee of quality. There are usually not too many significant differences between one year’s model and the next, so you’re still getting a similar product for a more-affordable price.

2. Warranty 

When you buy a used Mac, you still get all of the benefits of a one-year warranty and up to three years of AppleCare^® that you would also receive with a new device. However, many stores that sell used Apple products also offer their own in-store repair-and-replace warranty. If you’re having difficulty deciding, speak with an in-store expert to learn more about what’s covered.

3. Price

One of the most attractive features about buying a used Mac is the price. You can save hundreds of dollars on two- to three-year-old models and even more on older generations. Tell your in-store tech expert about your specific computer needs, and they can provide you with your ideal refurbished model.

While it can be nice to get a brand new Apple product, used devices can sometimes offer just as many of the same benefits.
