A near-mint refurbished MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM is only $395 today

TL;DR: Get a 16GB MacBook Pro refurb in near-mint condition on sale for $395. Sale ends June 28.

Buying a laptop in 2026 means walking into the worst market in years. A global RAM shortage driven by AI data centers gobbling up supply has sent prices soaring and pushed the cost of new machines right along with them. That makes a refurbished Mac with generous RAM like this near-mint MacBook Pro an excellent option, particularly now that it’s on sale for $394.97 (reg. $1,799).

This Mac comes with 16GB RAM, enough memory to run photo editing, dozens of browser tabs, and development tools at the same time without slowdown. With memory prices elevated across the board, buying that capacity in a new laptop costs a premium right now, so a refurbished unit that already includes it carries most of the savings.

The rest of the specs are well matched for everyday and creative work. A quad-core Intel Core i5 Turbo Boosts to 3.8GHz, the 512GB SSD handles fast app launches and ample file storage, and the 13.3-inch Retina display reaches 500 nits with True Tone color accuracy. Four Thunderbolt 3 ports support charging, external displays, and transfers up to 40Gb/s, while Touch ID and up to 10 hours of battery life cover security and a full workday.

Until June 28 at 11:59 p.m. PT, you can get a near-mint refurbished MacBook Pro on sale for $394.97.
