Apple has added 2018 models of the 13-inch [url=https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook/]MacBook (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/macbook-pro/) Pro[/url] with Touch Bar to its refurbished store (https://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro/13) in the U.S. for the first time. Prices are discounted by roughly 15 percent compared to the equivalent brand new models.

A refurbished base model (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/FR9U2LL/A/Refurbished-133-inch-MacBook-Pro-23GHz-quad-core-Intel-Core-i5-with-Retina-display-Silver) with a 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, 256GB of flash storage, 8GB of RAM, and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 is available for $1,529 in the United States, reflecting savings of $270 off Apple's regular price of $1,799. Available finishes include Silver and Space Gray.





A refurbished maxed-out model (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/G0V8ALL/A/Refurbished-133-inch-MacBook-Pro-27GHz-quad-core-Intel-Core-i7-with-Retina-display-Space-Gray) with a 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 2TB of flash storage, 16GB of RAM, and Intel Iris Plus Graphics 655 is available for $3,139 in the United States, reflecting savings of $560 off Apple's regular price of $3,699. This configuration is currently limited to Space Gray.





A variety of other models, including built-to-order configurations, are currently available. Quantities are limited, however, so we recommend acting fast or using Refurb Tracker (https://refurb-tracker.com/) to monitor when inventory is replenished.





Apple says refurbished MacBook Pro models are thoroughly inspected, tested, cleaned, and repackaged, including the manuals and cables included in the box. In our view, a refurbished MacBook Pro is virtually indistinguishable from a brand new model, so this represents a good opportunity for savings.





Note that third-party resellers sometimes offer better deals than Apple's refurbished prices, so be sure to monitor our deals roundup (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/best-apple-deals/).





A refurbished MacBook Pro comes with Apple's standard one-year warranty effective on the date the notebook is delivered. The warranty can be extended to three years from the original purchase date with [url=https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/applecare/]AppleCare (https://www.apple.com/shop/product/S6033LL/A/applecare-plus-for-13-inch-macbook-pro)+ for Mac[/url], which costs $269 for the the 13-inch MacBook Pro in the United States.





Apple has also added refurbished 2018 models of the 13-inch MacBook Pro to its Canadian store (https://www.apple.com/ca/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro/13), also at a 15 percent discount.





<strong>Update:</strong> 15-inch models are now available as well (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/10/20/apple-refurbished-2018-15-inch-macbook-pro/).
