I've done this numerous times (as well as refurbs from Apple) and never been disappointed. Hello, I have currently been using a 2012 mac mini (dual core) which is becoming somewhat unusable. I'm convinced these were simply new, in stock 2015 models taken off the new sales market to help sales of 1st touchbar models not be weak.įor a better deal I would encourage warrantied refurbs from an authorized dealer and not Apple. Microcenter literally had hundreds of them, nearly hundred listed as being in stock at any given store which I took as Apple actively wanting to drive people away from them towards the (at the time) new touch bar models, which seemed a much lower bang for the buck, albeit with Tbolt 3.

Rocks.Īpple seems to dump large numbers of certain models on 3rd party stores occasionally and not only was the price hundreds less than Apple's refurb price but they'd only rarely even surface on Apple's refurbs. I then got AppleCare on it on sale and never looked back. Looked, smelled and behaved minty fresh from the get go. I picked up a 2015 15" MBP refurb (not from Apple, from Microcenter) last year for around $1,400.

The specs don't seem that different, and I dont really know that I need that new touch bar thing. The current generation of mac book pros are pretty expensive, especially if you want a decent hard drive size.

I'm thinking about selling off the outboard synths to partially finance a new music computer/laptop. A lot of the time when I actually want to write music I end up using itb samplers and tools. Connect a printer to your Mac for printing photos, business. You can add extra storage for your MacBook, transfer large files between work and home, or back up important data with a Mac external hard drive. I enjoy playing with the synths, but I find myself not really using them for songs, and instead just fiddling with them. The Apple mouse makes it easy to navigate with smooth scrolling, and the Magic mouse features a multitouch surface with gesture support. I have a handful of outboard synths: Prophet '08, MS20 mini, Nord Drum 2, Yamaha YC, and a few other old unused ones. I could probably buy a SSD hard drive and reinstall everything to buy another year or two out of it, but Im not sure I want to go that direction.
