Get this new-to-you MacBook Pro for less than $300 (plus free shipping)

TL;DR: Through Dec. 8, you can get this Refurbished Apple Macbook Pro 13.3″ for just $299.99 instead of its usual refurb price of $349 — that’s a 14% discount.

Working from home has its benefits, but it may also mean going without some of the hardware that made working in an office a bit easier. If you know someone who just started working from home, you could help them boost their workstation with a refurbished MacBook Pro for only $299.99. December 8 is the last day to make sure your gift arrives in time for the holidays, and you don’t have to pay for shipping. No coupon is needed. 

A great computer for daily tasks 

Going from a dual-screen workstation to a single screen at your desk in your own home might be jarring. At the very least, it could negatively affect productivity. Give your loved one a hardware expansion. This MacBook comes loaded with a roomy 500GB HDD, great for bulk storage of important files. On a full charge, the battery could last up to seven hours. That means they wouldn’t have to stay stuck at their desktop for the whole workday. 

Don’t underestimate this MacBook Pro because it has a few years behind it. The Turbo Boost could drive the processor up to 3.1GHz, and 4GB of RAM should be plenty for running a few work-related apps. 

Some modern MacBooks only have a few USB-C ports and require adapters for older hardware. This one comes with ports for Thunderbolt, USB 3, Ethernet, Headphones, SD cards, and FireWire, and there’s even a slot for a Kensington lock. There are plenty of tools out there to manage your cybersecurity, but there aren’t many simpler ways to make sure nobody can walk off with your computer. 

Order a MacBook in time to wrap 

You don’t need to drop your whole gift budget on a new computer for your WFH buddy — or yourself — when you could nab a refurbished MacBook Pro for just $299.99. No need to pay for shipping, but December 8 is the last day to order and make sure it arrives in time for the holidays.
