Apple has added the plain M5 MacBook Pro to its refurbished store for a discounted price. However, the base storage change from last month means the value compared to new discounted hardware might not be as competitive as usual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s 14-inch M5 MacBook Pro refurb has a 512GB SSD<\/h2>\n

When Apple introduced the M5 MacBook Pro in October, the 14-inch laptop originally came with 512GB storage for $1599. <\/p>\n

Last month, Apple revised the hardware and raised the base price. The base storage changed to 1TB, and the starting price went up to $1699.<\/p>\n

While the M5 MacBook Pro starting price increased, the cost of the 1TB model was cheaper than previously when configured as an upgrade. <\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s refurbished M5 MacBook Pro has 512GB storage with a discount based on the original selling price of $1599. The refurbished machine is discounted by $240, bringing the price to $1359.<\/p>\n

The 1TB version of the same machine, sold brand new on Amazon, currently goes for $1549.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s still more than the refurb price, but it\u2019s a nice savings from Apple\u2019s new price, especially for double the storage compared to the refurb model.<\/p>\n

A16 iPad refurbished prices<\/h2>\n

Apple has also added the iPad (A16) to its refurbished store, taking $50 off the base model, which is the same price as a brand new model from Amazon.<\/p>\n

However, Apple\u2019s refurbished iPad models also have storage and cellular upgrade options.<\/p>\n
