Why pay full price? This MacBook Pro is ready to work and play for less

TL;DR: Grab a refurbished MacBook Pro with 256GB SSD storage and a Touch Bar for $449.99 (reg. $1,499) — all the power without the premium price.

Ever thought about upgrading your laptop but didn’t want to fork over a fortune? No worries — this refurbished MacBook Pro from 2019 lets you dive into Apple’s powerhouse tech without the premium price tag, down 69% from $1,499 at just $449.99. It’s like getting a new MacBook, but your wallet won’t hate you for it.

At 13.3 inches, this MacBook Pro strikes the perfect balance between portability and performance. With a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor and 8GB of RAM, you can crush through everything from Zoom meetings to video editing without breaking a sweat.

The 256GB SSD gives you lightning-fast storage, so you can load up your apps and files in a flash. Plus, the iconic Retina display makes your content pop, delivering vibrant colors and razor-sharp detail whether you’re streaming or designing.

But what really sets it apart? The Touch Bar. Customize your shortcuts, streamline your workflow, and fly through tasks with just a tap or swipe. It’s like having your own personal assistant right on your keyboard.

Don’t fret about the “refurbished” tag either — this MacBook has been thoroughly inspected and restored to work like new with an “A” grade, meaning there is very minimal to no signs of use. And with its Space Gray finish, it’s still as sleek as ever. Whether you’re a student, creative, or just need a reliable laptop, this MacBook Pro has the chops to handle it all.

Usually priced at $1,499, this refurbished 2019 13.3-inch MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar is on sale for $449.99 for a limited time.

StackSocial prices subject to change.
