This refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro is on sale for $300 right now (reg. $980). It’s originally from 2011, so you obviously don’t want it if you need a modern laptop with current OS updates, but if you or someone you know has basic needs, it might be a good option. It has a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 13.3-inch display, 500GB of storage space, and up to seven hours of battery life on a charge. This one also has some ports that have been discontinued, like MagSafe charging, an SD card slot, USB, 3.5mm audio, and more.
This MacBook is pre-owned (obviously), but it’s been cleaned, inspected, and tested to arrive in fully-functional condition. It was given a grade “B” refurbished rating, meaning there might be light scuffs or scratches, but none that affect performance. It also includes a black case, so scuffs probably aren’t a big deal.
If you need a cheap MacBook and don’t mind the age, this grade “B” refurbished 13.3-inch Apple MacBook Pro is $299.99 right now (reg. $980), though prices can change at any time.
