Kumbuyuutarrada Apple waa kuwo aad loo jecel yahay^(well-loved) . Waxay ku ciyaaraan tayada la dhisay ee hogaaminaysa warshadaha. Nidaam-deegaaneedka software-ka-saaxiibtinimada leh iyo naqshad guud ahaan la ammaano. Nasiib darrose, waxay sidoo kale la yimaadaan qaar ka mid ah calaamadaha qiimaha indhaha ugu roon ee warshadaha xisaabinta shakhsi ahaaneed. 

Warka wanaagsani waa in aad si toos ah uga iibsan karto Mac- ga ^(Mac)Apple qiimo dhimis weyn. Inta badan^(Often) waa 15-20%. Niggle kaliya waa in Mac ee su'aasha ah waxaa lahaa qof kale ka hor. Mac- yadan^(Macs) "dib-u-dayactirka" waxay noqon karaan kuwo aad u soo jiidasho leh, laakiin ma tahay inaad iibsatid Mac dib loo hagaajiyay ? 

Cusub Vs. Mac dib loo hagaajiyay?^{(New Vs. Refurbished Mac?)}

Marka hore^(First) , maqaalkan, waxaanu tixraacaynaa barnaamijka dib u habeynta^{(refurbishment program)} guriga ee Apple . Ma aha dib-u-habayn ay sameeyeen qolo saddexaad. Haddaba sidee u shaqeysaa? 

Apple waxay dib u soo ceshataa alaabooyinka la isticmaalay ilo kala duwan. Tusaale ahaan, waxay bixiyaan qiimo dhimis ganacsi oo loogu talagalay macaamiisha iibsanaya badeecooyin cusub. Haddii Mac- yadaas^(Macs) ay ku fiican yihiin inay dib u habeyn ku sameeyaan, Apple waxay ku qaadataa barnaamijka. Haddii kale, si habboon ayaa dib loo warshadeeyay.

Tufaaxu^(Apple) wuu nadiifiyaa, tijaabiyaa oo hagaajiyaa ama beddelaa wax kasta oo ay u baahan yihiin. Marka la sameeyo, alaabtu waxay u muuqataa mid cusub. Waxa lagu kaydiyay baakado cusub, waxa ku jira qalabkeeda, waxana ay la socotaa dammaanad hal sano ah. Haa, qiimo dhimisku aad ayuu ugu yar yahay nidaamka weyn, laakiin xisaabaha oo dhan, barnaamijka dib u habeynta Apple waa mid aad u dhamaystiran. 

Haddaba haddii aad go'aansatid in aad jidkan marto, maxay yihiin faa'iidooyinka iyo khasaaraha ay tahay in aad tixgeliso?

Pro: Sifooyin Wanaagsan oo Lacag isku mid ah^{(Pro: Better Specs for the Same Money)}

Macs guud ahaan waxay leeyihiin tilmaamo dhexdhexaad ah, inkastoo ay aad qaali u yihiin. Tani waxay ka dhigan tahay in Mac -ga aad rabto uu ku qasban yahay inuu u banneeyo wax yar oo gaabis ah oo ku dhaca qiimahaaga. 

Maadaama Apple ay inta badan waqti ku qaadato marka ay timaaddo cusboonaysiinta khadadka Mac -ga, la socoshada ^(Mac)Mac la dayactiray ayaa laga yaabaa inay ku siiso Mac hal^{(Mac one)} heer oo ka sarreeya inta aad ku iibsan karto qiimo cusub. Taas macnaheedu waxa weeye farqiga u dhexeeya khibrad isticmaale OK iyo mid aad u fiican.

Tani waxay si gaar ah run u tahay marka ay timaado kaydinta dusheeda. Apple waxa ay ku dallacaa lacag aad u badan oo kaash ah kaydinta keligiis, taas oo macnaheedu yahay kaydka aad ku hesho moodel la dayactiray ayaa laga yaabaa in ay aad ugu filnaato in ay kugu filnaato meel aad u raaxo badan isla qiimaheedu.

Pro: Hal sano oo dammaanad ah^{(Pro: A One-year Warranty)}

Waxaad ku helaysaa dammaanad la mid ah Mac la cusboonaysiiyay oo aad ku samayso mid cusub. Apple waxay ula dhaqantaa kombayutaradan isku mid iyagoo ka eegaya dammaanad iyo aragti taageero. 

Tani dhab ahaantii way ka fiican tahay helitaanka dammaanad ka gaaban sida qaar kale oo soo saarayaasha kombiyuutarada laga yaabo inay sameeyeen, laakiin sidoo kale waa seef laba af leh. Sida aan caddayn doono marka aan gaadhno khasaarooyinka go'aankan.

Pro: Waa (Jidh ahaan) Nadiif ah^{(Pro: It’s (Physically) Clean)} 

Iibsashada Mac la isticmaalay si toos ah milkiilihii hore waxay kaa dhigi kartaa kayd dhab ah, laakiin waxay sidoo kale keeni kartaa saaxiibo cusub guriga oo aadan ku martiqaadin. Haa, laga bilaabo rooga ilaa jeermiska, celceliska qofka kuuma wareejinayo Mac saafi ah adiga. 

Xataa khaladkooda maaha. Macsku^(Macs) , guud ahaan, maaha kuwo adeegsaduhu u adeegi karo. Apple waxay leedahay qalab iyo farsamoyaqaano tababaran oo furi kara Mac -kaas oo siin kara nadiif qoto dheer. Tani kaliya ayaa ka dhigaysa heshiis wanaagsan.

Pro: Way ka jaban tahay Iibsashada Mac la isticmaalay meel kale muddada dheer^{(Pro: It Can Be Cheaper Than Buying a Used Mac Elsewhere in the Long Run)}

Haddii aad si toos ah uga soo iibsatid Mac la isticmaalay mulkiilihiisii ​​hore ama (tusaale ahaan) dukaanka gawaadhida, waxaad u badan tahay inaad ku heli doonto qiimo dhimis aad uga weyn waddadii la dayactiray. Si kastaba ha noqotee, haddii uu Mac u baahan yahay nooc kasta oo dayactir xirfadeed ah, waxaad eegaysaa biil aad u weyn si aad u hesho shaqada uu qabto qof dayactir la aqoonsan yahay. 

Haddii aad qaadato fursadda oo ay wax qaldamaan, inta badan maaha mid u qalma kharashka hagaajinta, taas oo macnaheedu yahay inaad ka maqnaan doonto labadaba Mac -gaaga iyo lacagta aad ku iibsatay.

Maadaama Mac^(Mac) la dayactiray uu la socdo dammaanad hal sano ah oo uu xaq u leeyahay ikhtiyaariga ah AppleCare , waxaad haysataa hab aad ku gasho adeegyada dayactirka Apple hal, qiime la saadaalin karo oo aad ka shaqayn karto kharashka lahaanshaha. Marka laga eego dhinacaas, waxay samaynaysaa macno badan, haddii aan heshiiska la isticmaalay uu yahay mid aad u wanaagsan.

Con: Dammaanad Hal sano ah^{(Con: A One-year Warranty)}

Waa maxay waxani? Miyaynaan odhan kani waxa iska leh tiirka “pro”? Hagaag, tani waa seef laba af leh. Mac- yada^(Macs) la cusboonaysiiyay waxay noqon karaan kuwo duug ah, gaar ahaan maadaama Apple ay si aan joogto ahayn u cusbooneysiiso. 

Si kale haddii loo dhigo, inkasta oo dammaanadyadu ay isku dherer yihiin, badeecada cusubi waxay leedahay bilawga bilawga ah marka la eego jeexjeexa iyo jeexjeexyada, taas oo noo keenta barta xigta.

Con: Caadiyan waxaad heshaa qalab duug ah^{(Con: You Usually Get An Older Device)}

Sida kor ku xusan, Apple ayaa aad u gaabis ah Mac cusbooneysiinta sannadihii la soo dhaafay. Tani waxay abuurtaa xaalad xiiso leh halkaas oo qalabka dib loo hagaajiyay uu la mid noqon karo qaabkii hadda ama kii hore laakiin uu yahay mid da' ah marka loo eego ereyada saxda ah. Tani waxay la macno tahay taageereyaasha, hindhisada, furayaasha kiiboodhka iyo wixii la mid ah inay la kulmeen daal iyo jeex weyn. 

Qalabka adag ee makaanikada ah iyo SSD^(SSDs) -yada ayaa sidoo kale leh guuldarrooyin badan marka ay da'da yihiin iyo qaybaha ay ka midka yihiin nalalka dambe ee shaashadda sidoo kale waxay u badan tahay inay u dhintaan da'da. Qaybahaas waxa laga yaabaa in aan loo arkin dhibaato inta lagu jiro habka dib-u-habaynta laakiin waxa ay ku dambayn karaan in ay ku fashilmaan wax ka baxsan dammaanadda halka sano ah ee lagu daray qiimaha aasaasiga ah.

Hal dariiqo oo tan lagu heli karo ayaa ah in la iibsado oo kaliya noocyada la cusboonaysiiyay ee moodooyinka Mac kuwaas oo helay dib-u-cusboonaysiin dhawaan. Markaa waad ogtahay in taariikhda wax-soo-saarku aanay noqon karin ka hor inta aanay cusbayntu dhicin.

Guntii iyo Gebagebadii: Miyay tahay inaad iibsato Mac dib loo hagaajiyay?^{(The Bottom Line: Should YOU Buy a Refurbished Mac?)}

Dhamaadka, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad miisaanto in qiimo dhimista yar ee mashiinadan helaan ay u qalanto khamaarka tayada dhismaha Apple . Haddii qayb ka mid ah Apple ay seegtay ay qarka u saaran tahay guuldarro, markaas waa inaad ama waa inaad rajaynaysaa inay ku guuldareysato inta lagu jiro dammaanadda halka sano ah ama aad bixisid lacagta dheeraadka ah ee AppleCare . 

Haddii aadan ku^{(weren’t )} heli lahayn Apple Care Mac cusub , markaa tani waxay tirtiraysaa faa'iidada kharashka. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, haddii aad rabto inaad hesho iCare si kastaba, iibsashada moodel la dayactiray ayaa weli u taagan badbaadin la mid ah guud ahaan. Markaa waxaanu si kal iyo laab ah kuugula talinaynaa inaad hesho Mac la cusboonaysiiyay oo ay weheliso dammaanadda dheer ee Apple ee xaaladaas.

Dhanka kale, haddii aad kaliya qorshaynayso inaad raacdo dammaanadda halka sano ah ee lagu daray, kaydinta yar ee aad ku hesho qaab la cusboonaysiiyay kama soo baxayso khatarta sii kordhaysa ee ah in qaybaha qaarkood ay ku fashilmaan muddada dhexe.

Arrin kale oo mudan in la tixgeliyo waa barnaamijka ganacsiga Apple . Haddii aad leedahay wax soo saar Apple^(Apple) oo duug ah, waxaad ku heli kartaa qiimo dhimis ka weyn Mac cusub , marka la barbar dhigo qiimo dhimista yar ee Macs ee la cusboonaysiiyay inta badan waxay bixiyaan. Maadaama aadan ka ganacsan karin qalabkaaga dib u habeyn, tani waxay u badan tahay inay tahay heshiiska guud ee wanaagsan.

Markaa marka la eego dheelitirnaanta, dib-u-habaynta ayaa ilaa xad badbaado leh in la iibsado. Waa heshiis ka wanaagsan iibsashada Mac la isticmaalay meel kale waana in si dhab ah loo tixgeliyo haddii miisaaniyadaada ay ku xiran tahay qiimo dhimista yar ee ay helaan. Haddii aadan heli doonin Apple Care ama aad ku heli karto mashiin wax yar ka hooseeya, guud ahaan aad ayay u fiican tahay inaad iibsato Mac cusub oo aad awoodid.

Should You Buy a Refurbished Mac: Pros & Cons

Apple computers are well-loved. They sport industry-leading built quality. A user-friendly software ecosystem and virtually universally-praised design. Sadly, they also come with some of the most eye-watering price tags in the personal computing industry. 

The good news is that you can buy a Mac directly from Apple at a significant discount. Often in the 15-20% range. The only niggle is that the Mac in question has been owned by someone else before. These “refurbished” Macs can be very tempting, but should you buy a refurbished Mac? 

New Vs. Refurbished Mac?

First off, in this article, we are referring to Apple’s in-house refurbishment program. Not refurbishment by a third party. So how does it work? 

Apple takes back used products from various sources. For example, they offer trade-in discounts for customers who are buying new products. If those Macs are good enough to refurbish, Apple takes them into the program. If not, they are properly recycled.

Apple cleans, tests and repairs or replaces whatever they need to. Once done, the product appears to be new. It’s boxed up in new packaging, includes its accessories, and comes with a one-year warranty. Yes, the discount is pretty small in the greater scheme of things, but by all accounts, Apple’s refurbishment program is pretty thorough. 

So if you decide to go down this road, what are the pros and cons to consider?

Pro: Better Specs for the Same Money

Macs generally have quite modest specifications, despite being pretty expensive. This means that the Mac you want may have to give way to a slightly slower one that falls into your price range. 

Since Apple often takes their time when it comes to updating their Mac lines, going with a refurbished Mac may get you a Mac one tier higher than you could afford at new prices. That can mean the difference between an OK user experience and an excellent one.

This is especially true when it comes to onboard storage. Apple charges a significant amount of cash for storage alone, which means the savings you get on a refurbished model may very well be enough to net you a more comfortable amount of space at the same price.

Pro: A One-year Warranty

You get the same warranty with a refurbished Mac that you do with a new one. Apple treats these computers the same from a warranty and support perspective. 

This is certainly better than getting a shorter warranty as some other computer manufacturers might have done, but it’s also a double-edged sword. As we’ll make clear when we get to the cons of this decision.

Pro: It’s (Physically) Clean 

Buying a used Mac directly from the previous owner can net you serious savings, but it can also bring some new friends home that you didn’t invite. Yep, from roaches to germs, the average person is not going to hand over a pristine Mac to you. 

It’s not even their fault. Macs are, in general, not user-serviceable. Apple has the tools and trained technicians that can open up that Mac and give it a deep clean. This alone makes it a better deal.

Pro: It Can Be Cheaper Than Buying a Used Mac Elsewhere in the Long Run

If you buy a used Mac directly from its previous owner or (for example) a pawn shop, you will probably get it at a much bigger discount than the refurbished route. However, if that Mac needs any sort of professional repair, you’re looking at a huge bill to get the work done by a certified repair person. 

If you take the chance and something does go wrong, it’s often not worth the cost of fixing it, which means you’ll be without both your used Mac and the money you spent to purchase it.

Since a refurbished Mac comes with a one-year warranty and is eligible for optional AppleCare, you have a way to access Apple’s repair services for a single, predictable price which you can work into the cost of ownership. From that point of view, it makes a lot of sense, unless the used deal is incredibly good.

Con: A One-year Warranty

What’s this? Didn’t we just say that this belongs in the “pro” column? Well, this is a double-edged sword. Refurbished Macs can be quite old, especially since Apple so infrequently updates them. 

In other words, although the warranties are the same length, the new product has a head start in terms of wear and tear, which brings us to the next point.

Con: You Usually Get An Older Device

As mentioned above, Apple has been rather slow with Mac refreshes over the years. This creates an interesting situation where a refurbished device might be the same model as the current or previous model but is rather old in absolute terms. This means fans, hinges, keyboard switches and the like could have experienced significant wear and tear. 

Mechanical hard drives and SSDs also have more failures as they age and components such as screen backlights also become more likely to die with age. Those components may not be deemed a problem during the refurbishment process but could end up failing just outside of the one-year warranty that’s included in the base price.

One way to get around this is to only buy refurbished versions of Mac models that have received a recent refresh. So you know the manufacture date can’t be from before the refresh happened.

The Bottom Line: Should YOU Buy a Refurbished Mac?

In the end, you need to weigh up whether the small discount these machines get is worth the gamble on Apple’s build quality. If any component that Apple missed is on the brink of failure, then you either have to hope it fails during the one-year warranty or shell out the extra cash for AppleCare. 

If you weren’t going to get Apple Care with a new Mac, then this wipes out the cost-benefit. However, if you were going to get iCare anyway, buying a refurbished model still represents the same saving overall. So we’d wholeheartedly recommend getting a refurbished Mac along with Apple’s extended warranty under that condition.

On the other hand, if you only plan on going with the included one-year warranty, the small saving you get with a refurbished model doesn’t make up for the increased risk that some components will fail within the medium term.

Another factor worth considering is the Apple trade-in program. If you have an eligible older Apple product, you can get a much bigger discount on a new Mac, compared to the small discount refurbished Macs usually offer. Since you can’t trade in your device for a refurb, this is probably the better overall deal.

So on balance, a refurb is relatively safe to buy. It’s a better deal than buying a used Mac elsewhere and should be seriously considered if your budget depends on the small discount they get. If you aren’t going to get Apple Care or can get by with a slightly lower spec machine, it’s generally much better to buy the best new Mac you can afford.
