Woot launches refurb Apple sale with M1 iPad Pro
Through the end of today, Woot has launched its latest sale that’s marking down an assortment of certified refurbished Apple releases including M1 iPads, Macs, and more. One of the more notable inclusions in the sale offers a rare chance to save on refurbished 11-inch M1 iPad Pro models. If the new condition deals last week weren’t enticing enough, today’s offer arrives to deliver the best price yet on the Wi-Fi 256GB model at $670. Down from its original $899 going rate, this amounts to $229 in savings while also undercutting our previous mention by $179.
Centered around the M1 chip, Apple’s latest iPad Pro delivers an 11-inch Liquid Retina display alongside Thunderbolt connectivity. That’s alongside Wi-Fi 6, Face ID, and all-day battery life, with staples in the iPadOS lineup like Apple Pencil support and more. Ideal for everything from media consumption to digital artistry and other work, the compact iPad Pro delivers plenty of power in a portable package. Get a closer look in our coverage.
Another refurbished offer undercutting ongoing new condition discounts has gone live on M1 MacBook Pro today as part of the Woot Apple sale, as well. Included in the same sale at Woot, the previous-generation 13-inch MacBook Pro now rests at $860 for the 256GB model. You’d more regularly pay $1,299, with today’s offer even undercutting the savings offered by Best Buy right now by another $90, delivering an overall $439 in savings.
Even with the new M2 devices announced earlier in the summer, today’s discounts on the now previous-generation machines arrive as an even better value. Centered around a 13-inch Retina display, the M1 MacBook Pro packs a slim design that’s backed by 17-hour battery life. Not to mention a pair of Thunderbolt ports, the Touch Bar and 8GB of RAM as well as up to 512GB of storage.
