Refurbished Mac Pros — lots of ’em

Examples of refurbished Mac Pros

Many of my consulting clients are not aware of the great deals on refurbished Apple Macs. Read about why buying refurbished is a great idea, and see yesterday’s commentary.

The Apple Store six different models of refurbished Mac Pros available as I write this (click on “Mac Pro” at left under “Refurbished Mac”).

You save 15% buying refurbished— it’s a no-brainer. The $2149 model at right is a great choice; it’s only 10% slower than the $2999 model—barely noticeable. Use the money you save for memory and hard drives.

Dual CPU (8-core) is a plus, but I don’t recommend the 2.26GHz model for most users, and faster 8-core models come at a huge price premium (almost double). Want help choosing and configuring? I offer consulting. Contact me before you buy stuff so I can save you money.
