Apple Refurbished Store Brings MacBook Neo Back to Pre‑Hike Prices

Certified refurbished Neos now sell at older price points with Apple’s one‑year warranty and full testing.

Overview

  • Apple raised prices across most of its products this week, including a $100 increase to the MacBook Neo’s US starting price.
  • Apple has started listing the MacBook Neo in its Certified Refurbished Store, restoring the 256GB no‑Touch‑ID model to $599.
  • Apple’s refurbished 512GB Neo with Touch ID is listed at $679, compared with the new model’s $799 post‑hike.
  • Some retailers briefly showed pre‑hike pricing — Best Buy still had the Neo at $599 — while Amazon’s Prime Day stock of the no‑Touch‑ID Neo has largely sold out.
  • Refurbished units undergo full testing and part replacement, come with a one‑year limited warranty and AppleCare eligibility, giving buyers a warranty‑backed savings option amid uneven new‑model availability.
