Says Apple reconditioned. Brand new is $1379. Seems like great deal on 16 GB/512 GB upgraded model. Hope this is helpful to someone. I grabbed one and will report condition.

Wonder if this is apple certified aka apple box like the eBay. So tempted but I just got the 14" mbp m3 pro and feel like this would be a downgrade bc of the screen.. am I wrong?

Yeah I'm wondering the same thing. They do corporate sales for apple so I'm hoping yes.

As for 13.6" versus 15", that's all personal. For me desktop screen I like my 38" and would not downgrade. However, laptop I use while relaxing on sofa and appreciate smaller screen and easier to handle with one hand.

It's 13.3 vs 14…

Comparing the screen between the MacBook pro 14inch/16inch and MacBook Air 13inch/16inch is like comparing apples and oranges. The quality of MacBook Pro screen is far superior when compared to the airs. The MacBook Pro screen is mini-led Liquid Retina XDR. Which has a higher refresh rate and higher resolution than what the air offers currently. I'm hoping the m3 airs coming out next month will have upgraded screens to match the pro series.

Is it risky to buy a reconditioned item from this website?
Wonder if anyone has experience with this.
The website says "90 day warranty". I hope that's in addition to Apple's own warranty (does that appy even for "reconditioned" items like this?)

Doubt they'll add ProMotion (120hz) to airs though

I feel like if they put 120 on air no one would buy pro.

In my case I don't really notice the difference as mine is mostly web related for school/work.

Zero video editing, limited photo editing

Lots of pointclickcare, Plex, safari and telegram.

this is me, idk why my iPhone has different profile from laptop, but either way.. it was 1749 @ BB, I traded in my 3rd gen ipad pro for $467 credit, an old iPad mini for $55, and some random android tablet for $40, applied all those towards the MacBook and got it for under $1300 after tax. I was very surprised at how high the iPad traded in for.
