Apple Refurbished & Used Product Buyer's Guide .... MacBook Pro Prices Start At $929 .. Big Discounts Off Apple Products

Apple
Before Apple puts a refurbished Mac, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV up for sale in Special Deals, it undergoes a rigorous refurbishment process to make sure it's up to Apple's tough quality standards. Apple backs it with their standard one-year limited warranty. And you have the option of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for it

PowerMax
When it comes to pre-owned Macs, PowerMax is in a league of Their own! As one of the nation's largest and longest-running Apple Specialists, they have the best selection of pre-owned Macs you'll find anywhere, each one certified and warranted. Used Macs come with a 90 day warranty and two additional guarantees: First, if it arrives and isn't working as it should, they will pick it up and replace it at their expense (some conditions apply). Second, if at any time in the first 90 days of the purchase of a pre-owned Mac you wish to trade it in, they will guarantee you the FULL purchase price value you paid, toward the purchase of anything else they sell.

PowerMax also offers specially-priced Mac computers... you'll find great deals on everything from discontinued models to refurbished Macs to open box Macs (computers where the box has been opened and perhaps used as a demo, but operate and are as complete as new, are still under Apple warranty- usually for a full year- and are eligible for AppleCare).

Prices and availability are accurate when this page is updated. But keep in mind that certain items may sell out quickly and no longer be available.

Happy shopping!

User Review
The biggest advantage is stability. My last computer purchase was a vista machine. To say that I had stability and hardware compatibility issues with my HP Vista desktop is an understatement. The main reason I turned to mac for this purchase was the fact that the hardware, drivers, and software are made for each other. This machine has ran flawlessly for the past two weeks. I did have two crashes of the Firefox browser while watching Flash video, but only the browser went down rather than the entire system - Read More
