Refurbished Mac Pro 2018: A Smart Choice for Laptops

So meaningful, in fact, that I'd dissuade most people from buying Mac laptops with older generations of Intel chips, especially in the 13-inch models, whether they're brand new or refurbished. Apple has started selling refurbished units of its 2018 lineup, which come with the most important update for Apple laptops in years: Intel's latest 8th-generation of chips.

I'm aware that the word 'refurbished' might put some people off, but if my fantastic experience with a refurbished 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro is anything to go by, there's nothing to worry about. Apple's refurbished laptops are especially smart to consider right now. You get a 15% discount, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's still a few hundred dollars off the price tag of a brand new model - and that's an extra few hundred dollars in your pocket that you wouldn't have if you went with a brand-new unit.

The refurbished Mac Pro 2018 boasts impressive connectivity options, including 802.11ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, four 'Thunderbolt 3' ports (USB-C connector), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. This notebook is offered in either silver colored aluminum or a darker 'Space Gray' colored aluminum housing (but not other colors) and weighs just a bit more than 3 pounds (1.37 kg).

Additionally, it has a high-resolution LED-backlit 13.3-inch widescreen 2560x1600 (227 ppi, 500 nits) 'Retina' display with True Tone technology, and an integrated battery that provides an Apple estimated 10 hours of runtime. This notebook also packs 8 GB of onboard 2133 MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM (which could be upgraded to 16 GB at the time of purchase, but cannot be upgraded later), 256 GB or 512 GB of flash storage, and an integrated Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 graphics processor that shares memory with the system.

Externally, this notebook has an integrated 720p FaceTime HD webcam, a thin, backlit 'third generation' butterfly mechanism keyboard with an integrated 'Touch Bar' with a touch-sensitive control that adapts for different applications and provides Touch ID login support in lieu of traditional function keys, and a gigantic 'Force Touch' trackpad.

The MacBook Pro 'Core i5' 2.3 13-Inch (Mid-2018 True Tone Display, Touch Bar, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) is powered by a 14 nm, 8th Generation 'Coffee Lake' 2.3 GHz Intel 'Core i5' processor (8259U), with four independent processor cores on a single silicon chip, 128 MB of eDRAM embedded on the processor die, and a 6 MB shared level 3 cache.

In conclusion, the refurbished Mac Pro 2018 is an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade their laptop without breaking the bank. With its latest Intel chips, impressive connectivity options, and sleek design, this notebook is sure to impress even the most discerning users.
