This MacBook Pro refurb is a great way to get a high-end machine with insane battery life on the cheap.

For just $550 (nearly half off) you get a 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro for $100 less than Walmart is selling a brand-new M1 MacBook Air.

These machines are almost identical except the Pro has an internal CPU fan that allows the M1 chip to perform at its maximum.

“You’re getting the same computer with a better cooling system for sustained performance for $100 less, so it’s a steal,” said Cult of Mac writer D Griffin Jones in our internal Slack.

Plus, this MacBook Pro boasts the infamous Touch Bar (which some people love) plus an extra high-performance Thunderbolt 4 port.

MacBook Pro refurb: Silver or Space Gray and multiple memory/storage configurations

Built for media pros, this 13-inch M1 MacBook Pro comes with a Touch Bar at one of the best prices you’ll find online: only $549.99 (regularly $1,099).

Or you might be interested in a maxed-out MacBook Pro with 16GB of unified memory and a beefy 1TB internal SSD for just $750.  (These refurbs are available in Silver or Space Gray and in multiple memory/storage configurations).

It might be refurbished, but it has a Grade “A” rating, arriving to you in near-mint condition, with minimal wear, and at least 80% battery health. Your friends couldn’t tell the difference between a brand-new laptop and this one.

Shopping refurbished makes it possible to grab a MacBook Pro with the discontinued Touch Bar at nearly half off, but there a downside—refurbished inventory is limited. So, don’t wait too long to act on this MacBook deal.

What your MacBook Pro comes with

For starters, you’ll get the infamous Touch Bar feature with your MacBook Pro. What exactly is it? It’s a sleek touchscreen strip that replaced the function key row on many MacBook Pros, at least until Apple banished it in 2021. Now, your only hope of getting these convenient and customizable Touch Bars is to buy a refurbished device like this 2020 MacBook Pro.

When these machines were released, reviewers universally praised their 17-hour batter life.

The 13.3-inch screen size makes this MacBook Pro refurb light and easy to cary around. It weighs significantly less than it’s 14- and 16-inch cousins. Plus the Apple silicon M1 chip is a screamer, and will perform like a champ for many years to come.

Check out the other specs of this MacBook Pro:

• A 13.3” Retina display with True Tone technology.
• High-performance M1 chip with an 8-core CPU and GPU for seamless multitasking.
