Laptops, cellphones, and tablets are absolutely essential in modern society, but they can also be extremely expensive if you’re not careful. Even the latest entry-level devices can cost hundreds of dollars and often won’t have the capability you need, especially if you’re using them for work or school. Fortunately, certified pre-owned Apple^® products are excellent options that offer the reliability of a brand-new device—without the cost.

What Does “Certified” Mean?

When you purchase a certified pre-owned Apple product, you’re getting the peace of mind that comes from knowing your laptop or phone has been thoroughly tested and is fully functional. Every certified product is carefully inspected by a highly trained technician, who then updates the software, makes any necessary upgrades and repairs, and cleans it thoroughly inside and out, digitally and physically.

What’s the Difference Between Certified & Used Devices?

A certified pre-owned Apple product is functionally “like new,” whereas a used product may not have been tested at all. While noncertified devices might be a little less expensive upfront, you may be buying more than you bargained for. In many cases, you’ll also be taking responsibility for all of the device’s defects (like liquid damage or failing logic boards), which are very expensive to repair.  

What Are the Benefits of a Warranty?

Most used electronics are sold “as is,” with no returns or repairs, even if something goes wrong the same day. Certified pre-owned Apple products, on the other hand, come with a comprehensive warranty that covers just about every system and component. If your new phone or tablet develops a problem, even months later, the store will likely handle it free of charge.  A 30-day or 90-day warranty is most common.  Pick a store that offers a 1-year warranty, to give you the most peace of mind.  A physical store should also offer free set-up and tutorials to help you get the most trouble-free use out of your new-to-you computer or device.
