Apple Now Selling Refurbished M3 Pro and M3 Max MacBook Pro Models

Monday February 19, 2024 5:04 pm PST by Eric Slivka

Apple today began offering refurbished versions of the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with M3 Pro and M3 Max chip options, offering the machines at a discount for the first time since their October 2023 release.

The release of M3 Pro and M3 Max models on Apple's refurbished store comes almost two weeks after the entry-level 14-inch M3 MacBook Pro first appeared on the store.

Pricing on these latest refurbished MacBook Pro models starts at $1,699 for the 14-inch M3 Pro model with 11-core CPU and 14-core GPU, a $300 discount off of the original $1,999 starting price. The 16-inch MacBook Pro starts at $2,119 for the M3 Pro chip with 12-core CPU and 18-core GPU, offering savings of $380 compared to a brand-new unit priced at $2,499.

Additional configurations with chip, memory, and/or storage space upgrades are also available, although availability will fluctuate over time. Customers looking for a specific configuration should check back often.

All of Apple's refurbished Macs are close to identical to new products. They are subject to a refurbishment process that includes full functionality testing, with any defective modules replaced, as well as a thorough cleaning and inspection. Refurbished products are eligible for AppleCare+ and have the same 14-day return period as new Apple devices.

Between personal and work I've probably bought over a dozen refurb machines over the years and besides their basic packaging all of them have been indistinguishable from new.

Of course 5 days after I bought a M3 Pro base model they start selling it on the refurb site. I was debating between a M3 base with the upgraded 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM for $1,699 or the M3 pro base new for $1,849 (education pricing)..... I could return it but with all the hassle of even buying the new one at apple it isn't worth the time to do all this IMHO.
Relax...if it was worth $1,849 to you 5 days ago, then it is still worth $1,849 to you today. Enjoy what you bought and wish enjoyment for those who acted/bought differently. Regret/remorse can ruin a perfectly wonderful machine if you let it.**

This is the corollary to the "should I wait another month or two for a newer, faster machine"...the answer is almost always "if you need/want the machine now, then buy it now".

Which is also related to the "should I get the extra RAM/SSD?"...the answer is almost always "get as much as you can afford and accept that, someday, it won't be enough"


** unless it is an Intel machine, in which case the fan noise will ruin that wonderful machine for you. ?

Nothing with more than 8gb of memory in 2TB configurations. Bummer.
Wonder why they returned it.. “enough storage for years; enough memory for minutes.”
