Apple’s selling M1 MacBook Air & MacBook Pros with £230 off AGAIN!

The M1 Mac has only been on the market since November 2020, but Apple’s already offering discounted models on its Refurbished Store.

This is the second time we have seen discounts on the new M1 Macs on Apple’s Refurbished Store. Apple first started selling refurbished M1 models in February 2021. They sold out very quickly back then, so we expect the same thing to happen this time. [In fact a day after we updated this story in April 2021 it seems that the MacBook Air has indeed sold out – but we advise you to keep checking in case Apple gets more in stock!]

In Apple’s US and UK refurbished stores you can buy the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air with M1 Chip at a discounted price. In the UK the M1 Mac mini is not available in the refurbished store yet, but there are M1 Mac mini models in the US Refurb Store.

If you order today you could get the new M1 MacBook Pro or MacBook Air tomorrow!

Refurbished MacBook Pro

The best saving if for the refurbished 13.3in MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Chip, 8‑Core CPU and 8‑Core GPU and 512GB SSD. It is just £1,269/$1,229 – which is a saving of £230/$220 as it’s normally £1,499/$1,449.

Notably at £1,269/$1,229 this new price puts it below the usual price of the 256GB model. This means you can get the model with twice as much storage for less than the price of the 256GB if you bought it new!

Should I buy a Refurbished M1 MacBook?

As we explain in our article Why you should buy a refurbished Mac, buying from the Apple Refurbished and Clearance Store is a great way to get a bargain for a number of good reasons, including the following:

1. They are as good as new, if they were previously owned it would have been briefly, more likely they sat in an Apple Store untouched (since most stores are shut).
2. They will have been rigorously tests by Apple and any faults identified and fixed. In fact the Mac you are buying will have had more checks than a Mac coming straight from a factory
3. They come with a full year’s warranty and 90 days tech support.
4. You can use Apple’s financing options to purchase it, so you don’t have to pay up in one go.

This is a great way to get hold of the new M1 Mac for less than Apple sells a new model for, and it’s practically new.
