Dear Friends,
I saw some weird looking car driving around down here in Key West but it was just a weird looking car here in this weird little town and not Apple working on their latest self-driving jet car. The rumor mills were alive with Apple automotive stories and, who knows, Apple certainly could do some wonderful things for the car. After all, many of us spend a lot of time moving around in those vehicles. The other rumor that helped to drive Apple stock to all-time highs again this week were that Apple ordered some 5 million Apple Watches and Self magazine had Candice Seanepoel sporting an Apple Watch on its cover.
We have refreshed our supply of Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Retina and MacBook Air Certified Factory Refurbished models so we have some great values still available. We got our start with Apple Refurbished product. Back in the days before Steve Jobs and Tim Cook came to Apple, Apple did not manage its inventory very well. In fact, they were horrible at it and the result was literally thousands of discontinued and factory refurbished Macs hitting the market. Most were sold at public auction and Hapy and I would travel all over the country to buy these Macs to sell to our customers. We came to know the refurbished product very well and the Apple folks that handled them.
Apple Certified Refurbished products go through an extensive process to bring them to ‘as-new’ condition. Apple has a lot of confidence in these Macs and offers the same 1-year warranty as new Macs and they are also eligible for AppleCare. You will not be buying a “used” Mac that has a bunch of dings and scratches. You would be hard pressed to find anything that is different from a new Mac except these come with Mavericks instead of Yosemite. Of course, Yosemite is a free upgrade so that is not a big deal.
For Kibbles & Bytes readers this week, I am offering the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, 2.4GHz Intel i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage with AppleCare for only $1129. This gives you the Certified Apple Refurbished MacBook Pro with 3 years of Apple warranty support and 3 years of Apple technical support for one low price. We have limited quantities so, first come, first served.
