The best Apple Macs with M4 chips are heavily discounted: find out why it's the ideal time to buy.
Apple has reduced prices on a wide selection of Macs in its refurbished products store, including two M4 models that are among the best Macs available on the market today.
A few years ago, I acquired a refurbished MacBook Pro with Apple’s M1 Pro chip, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made. The device was in almost new condition, and I got it at a considerably discounted price. Nowadays, it still works perfectly. At this moment, Apple has launched a new promotion that allows users to save on two of its standout Macs. These deals are not just simple discounts: they represent significant reductions of around 15%, which amounts to considerable savings for devices that can cost anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars.
Apple has begun offering refurbished versions of its Mac mini and MacBook Pro with M4 series chips in its official store. These items are an excellent opportunity to acquire Apple hardware without having to pay full price. In fact, I'm considering replacing my Windows PC with an M4 Mac mini, and this promotion could be the perfect occasion. In our review, we described the M4 Mac mini as "a fantastic computer" that is "unmatched at that price."
Not only does the Mac mini deserve attention. In our review of the M4 MacBook Pro, we concluded that “it’s not only the best MacBook available, it’s also one of the best laptops you can buy.” The official Apple store is offering both models at significant discounts. For example, the entry-level M4 Mac mini, which was already a great deal at $599 when new, is now $509, which is $90 less. The M4 Mac mini Pro, which comes with a 20-core GPU, 64GB of memory, an 8TB SSD, and 10Gb Ethernet, is priced at $3,989, representing an impressive savings of $710 compared to the regular price of $4,699. As for the MacBook Pro, the entry-level model is available for $1,359, a reduction of $240 from the initial $1,599.
These types of discounts are unusual for Apple, a company that rarely offers such deals. While refurbished Macs can be found elsewhere, Apple’s refurbishments have a quality guarantee, as each device goes through rigorous testing and thorough cleaning, ensuring it arrives in almost impeccable condition. Moreover, if replacement parts are needed, they will ensure that genuine Apple components are used, avoiding the possibility of low-quality parts being installed that could fail.
Each refurbished Mac comes with all its accessories in a new box, along with a one-year warranty, making the purchasing experience feel like acquiring a new device. While it’s true that places like Amazon sometimes have better deals on used or, rarely, new Macs, if you’re looking for Apple quality, the company’s refurbished store is the best option. Based on my experience, I can assure you that it feels like getting a new Mac at a remarkably reduced price. Given how impressive the M4 chip is and how appealing the price of the M4 Mac mini is, some of these offers are truly irresistible.
