$120 off/MacBook Neo

Alongside the MacBook Air and M5 series MacBook Pro, Apple’s much more affordable new MacBook Neo also saw a price hike recently, but you can side step that by way of the official Apple Certified Refurbished Store – MacBook Neo starts at $689 at Amazon, but you can score one from the best Apple refurbished store there is with a full Apple warranty from $599. 

The official Apple Certified Refurbished Store carries all of the MacBook Neo configurations at the lowest prices we can find from a source even half as reputable, and, again, with a proper Apple warranty as well as Apple’s “rigorous” refurbishment seal of approval. 

• Apple Refurbished MacBook Neo 256GB $599 (Reg. $699 new)
• Apple Refurbished MacBook Neo 512GB w/ Touch ID $679 (Reg. $799 new)

While it does not look like there are special offers on these machines when you pull up the listing pages on the Apple refurb store, they are all at least $100 under the new MSRP – the 512GB model with the Touch ID keyboard is actually $120 off the new list price and $20 under the previous list price. 

Yes, they are refurb units and, yes, they are really just bringing the price back down, or very close, to the old MSRPs, but we are also talking about the lowest prices on the most affordable current-generation MacBook here.  

For some, the $100 to $120 in savings isn’t worth going for a refurbished unit, and understandably so, but this is certainly not an insignificant amount of cash and we are talking about the best quality refurbished you can buy straight from Apple. 

All of these machines ship with: 

• Apple’s one-year limited warranty
• Apple’s 14-day returns policy
• AppleCare eligibility
• Apple’s Rigorous refurbishment process prior to sale
