Today, it may seem as if the moment you purchase a computer, laptop, or phone, a newer model is released, making yours outdated. The good news is that many pre-owned Apple® products can compete with the latest models as long as they’re purchased from a reliable source. The team at Experimac Klein in Harris County, TX, offers professional insight when it comes to buying pre-owned Apple® products and how to minimize the risk. In the following guide, you’ll find some insider information on how to ensure you get what you pay for.

3 Tips for Purchasing Pre-Owned Apple® Devices 

1. Avoid Risky Purchases

You can often find fantastic deals online by searching sites like Craigslist® or eBay®. But the deals often aren’t all they appear to be. That’s because there’s no guarantee the device will arrive in good working condition. Instead of jumping on a deal that’s too good to be true, bring it to Experimac Klein, your local Apple® expert providing top-quality used Apple® computers for sale, pre-owned MacBook® laptops, iPad® tablets, and used iPhone® devices, plus warranties with all purchases!

2. Find Refurbished Products

Refurbished doesn’t mean a product is merely used; it also signifies a computer or laptop has been completely restored to its factory settings. This means when you turn it on, you can customize it as if you just took it out of the box for the first time. In many cases, you can even have its software updated with the most current operating system, making the average user hard-pressed to tell the difference between it and the latest model. 

3. Get a Warranty

Although your refurbished device might not be covered under the original Apple® protection plan any longer, our computer store has an additional warranty in place to minimize your risk. If you purchase a device that isn’t in top condition, bring it back within one year and get it replaced or repaired.
