Grab This Refurbished MacBook Pro For Only $255

If you're shopping on a strict budget for a new laptop, brand-new MacBooks will almost always be excluded due to their high prices. Apple products in general are notoriously expensive--and it’s uncommon to see them with steeply discounted price tags. That’s not the case today, however, as you can pick up a refurbished MacBook Pro for just $255. There are a few caveats to the deal, but you’ll definitely want to take a closer look if you’re in the market for a solid laptop for school, work, or anything in between.

Apple MacBook Pro 13.3-Inch (2012, Refurbished)

$255 (was $350)

In case the price didn’t immediately give it away, this MacBook Pro isn’t the latest model. Instead, it’s a refurbished unit from 2012. Yes, that's pretty darn old for a laptop. But considering Apple makes products that are built to last (and it’s been given new life through the refurbishing process), this might not be a bad pick if you're looking for a laptop for work or school.

Featuring seven hours of battery life, a 500GB HDD, Intel Core i5 processor, and a 13.3-inch display, the specs aren't bad for a laptop from 2012.

All purchases come with a 30-day parts and labor warranty and returns are accepted within 30 days of shipment. Orders are currently expected to arrive before February 12--although that could vary based on your location.

Considering the latest MacBook Pro starts at $2,000, this is a nice way to check out the Mac ecosystem without emptying your bank account. So if you’re a student, content creator, or young professional on a budget, this deal might be considering.
