Testing Refurbished Macs

All equipment goes through a strict evaluation and refurbishing process. Our Apple Technicians do this to verify hardware and cosmetic quality. Apple equipment we inventory comes from working environments and tends to need little refurbishing other than cleaning, testing, and reconfiguring. Here is a brief synopsis of the refurbishing process:

  • All hardware components are tested thoroughly. It is rare any component fails during testing. If so, it is replaced.
  • Each machine is graded and assigned a condition as noted in the guide below.
  • Each machine is cleaned and labeled with its specifications.
  • Once an item sells, our techs retest and inspect it a second time for quality control.
  • All items ship with a 90-day warranty. Extended Warranties are available.
