Apple now sells refurbished MacBook Neo, but you probably shouldn't buy it
Key Points:
- Apple raised the base price of the MacBook Neo from $599 to $699 but added the model to its Certified Refurbished store, offering refurbished units starting at $599 for the 256GB version and $679 for the 512GB Touch ID model.
- Refurbished MacBook Neos come with Apple’s one-year limited warranty and a 14-day return policy, but engraving and gift wrap options are not available.
- Despite the refurbished option, Amazon currently sells brand new MacBook Neo models for less than Apple’s refurbished prices, with the base 256GB model at $589 and the 512GB Touch ID model at $689.
- Other Apple products, including various MacBook Air and iPad models, are also available at significant discounts on Amazon compared to Apple’s current pricing, likely due to Prime Day promotions.
- Consumers looking to save on Apple gear should consider purchasing from Amazon before prices potentially rise to match Apple’s new retail prices.
