The MacBook Pro is Apple's laptop for serious work, and refurbished is the sensible way to buy one. Each MacBook Pro is tested to 80 points, graded by condition and backed by a free 12-month OzMobiles warranty, so you get real performance for hundreds of dollars less than new, without the guesswork of a private sale.
The Pro is built for sustained load: video editing, music production, coding, 3D and heavy multitasking. It adds power, a brighter screen and more ports than the Air, and the Apple Silicon Pro and Max chips hold their pace on battery. OzMobiles is an independent Australian retailer that tests every device before it ships, not a private seller shipping it sight unseen.
Which MacBook Pro should you choose?
-
Chip. Intel Pros (i5, i7, i9) are the cheapest way in and still capable for everyday work. Apple Silicon Pros are the step up: M1 Pro and M2 handle most creative work comfortably, while Pro and Max chips (M2 Pro/Max, M3, M4 and newer) suit 4K video, large projects and demanding apps.
-
Screen size. The 13 and 14-inch models are easier to carry day to day. The 16-inch gives you the most screen and the most power for desk-based creative work.
-
Memory and storage. These can't be upgraded after purchase, so buy for what you'll need in two years. For creative work, more memory (16GB and up) makes a bigger difference than a faster chip, and larger projects fill storage quickly.
What is a refurbished MacBook Pro?
A refurbished MacBook Pro is a pre-owned Pro that has been tested, repaired where needed, cleaned and restored to full working order. Compared with a private second-hand sale, you get the same saving with proper testing, a condition grade and a warranty behind it. It's also the greener choice, since it keeps a capable laptop out of landfill.
MacBook Pro condition grades explained
Every grade passes the same 80-point test and works 100%. The only difference is how the Pro looks and its battery health:
-
Good. Fully working with visible signs of use, such as scratches or small dents. The best value if looks matter less than price.
-
Excellent. Light marks you wouldn't notice at arm's length. A near-new look for less.
-
Ex-Demo. As-new condition with little to no visible wear.
-
New. Brand new and unused.
Every MacBook Pro meets a minimum 80% battery health guarantee, so you start with plenty of charge left.
