This is not certified refurbished, is third party refurbished so make sure you check battery cycle. Bought one yesterday but thr 512gb for $799. Came clean like new but it looks like it was used with some finger print etc. battery cycle 6. No apple warranty.

Returning it today since i got a better deal on a windows laptop. Window works better for me for my usecases.

Edit: when buying a refurbished apple device from microcenter make sure it says "certified refurbished". Meaning it comes straight from apple "lnew condition" sealed apple box with 1 year warranty.

Refurbished only 90 days warranty and refurbished by a third party used

Even as someone who likes apple products, their pricing on ram and storage is obviously absurd

I bought a new M1 MacBook with 8GB/256GB around $700 since 2020 for my teenager. Have been waiting for a Macbook with 16GB/512GB for the past 2 years, but always over my budget.
I really dislike the way Apple sell their products, charging $200 extra to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB, and then another $200 to bump up from 256GB to 512GB. Frown

great deal. same price as M1 but faster and newer. and 500 nits screen

Don't mind people hating on the SSD speed, it doesn't matter for practical use and only matters to stats chasers.

Debating on this.
The closest location is 50 miles away and in California gas is still close to $5/gallon.
I recently bought a Lenovo laptop from Costco after having MacBooks for a decade and getting used to it is so weird.
I really want to go back to Mac.

Looks good. Bummer that it's not Apple Certified, but price makes up for it.

Grabbed one from my local store for pickup. I know the 8gb of RAM will limit it, but for this price it seems kind of a no-brainer
What was the battery cycle count on it?

I really wish that Microcenter would ship items. This would help people out a great deal as most people don't live near one. Hope that some of you are able to get this.

That's about $20 and 2 hours for many people. $10 if you have a Prius. Is there a service like Uber, Doordash or Fivr that could do the pickup and delivery for about $50?

My Costco has the 13.6" with the M3 for $950. It came with an extra year warranty. I probably would go that route rather than driving all that way.

Great price. 8gb is more than enough ram for the vast majority of people on Apple silicon
You say that 8gb is enough on Apple Silicon, but how is it different on things like browser tabs. I need a laptop for my wife, a realtor, and she ALWAYS has dozens and dozens of tabs open that really made her hate the last Macbook Air she had (like 6 years ago)
Looking for advice, not complaining.
