Refurbished Macs: what to check before buying
A refurbished Mac can be an option where the model, condition and software support suit your needs. Before purchasing, consider battery health, storage capacity, memory, screen and keyboard condition, macOS support, activation status, warranty and the seller’s return policy. Contact us to discuss suitable specifications. Availability of refurbished Macs for sale is not guaranteed; ask whether any stock or sourcing assistance is currently offered.
Mac setup and data transfer
Moving to a replacement Mac may involve backups, account access, email, cloud files and software licences. We can discuss the safest approach to migration and whether any additional specialist support is needed. Never erase an old Mac until your files and access have been checked on the replacement.
