Gear up for a successful academic year with MacFinder's Back to School Sale! We understand the importance of having reliable and high-quality tech for your studies. That's why we're excited to offer you incredible deals on a range of products, including certified refurbished Macs.
The new school and university year starts in September, and a computer is an integral part of your studies, including research, note-taking in class and completing those all-important essays.
At MacFinder, we think one of the best technological choices you can make for school and university is a refurbished MacBook, as they’re incredibly reliable, having been refurbished by our own Apple-certified technicians.
To celebrate getting back to school, we’re offering 5% off all M-series refurbished Mac devices, from MacBook Pros for your studies, to powerful iMacs for running video editing software. In addition, we’re offering a 2-year service plan for just £95 until Sunday, 7th September.
This offer has now ended.
You can save 5% across our range of Apple products that have an M-series chip. Please note, there are some product exclusions.
There are several advantages to buying a refurbished Mac when compared to a brand new one or buying from online marketplaces, including cost savings, being environmentally friendly, and the added warranty & support.
At MacFinder, we aim to dispatch every order within 24 hours of placement. We offer free next-day delivery on orders placed before 8am Monday and before 1pm Tuesday to Friday, and next working day delivery on orders placed at any other time. We’d recommend ordering your refurbished Mac in plenty of time, as there can be shipping delays due to circumstances out of our control.
Whilst there is no minimum spend for our Back to School offer, the maximum discount you can claim is £50.
No, you don’t need to be a student to claim the back-to-school discount. All you need to do is sign up to our mailing list to get the code.
Our two-year service plan includes:
Apple’s M-series chips are faster, cooler, and more energy-efficient than Intel chips, giving longer battery life and better overall performance. If your applications don’t specifically require Intel, we recommend choosing an M-series Mac, provided it fits your budget.
Apple M-series chips use more cores because they combine powerful cores for intensive tasks with energy-saving cores for lighter work. This balanced design boosts performance, improves battery life, and ensures efficient operation.
M1, M2, M3, M4: Suitable for everyday tasks like web browsing, document editing, and media consumption.
M Pro: Enhanced graphics performance for creative professionals handling photo editing, graphic design, and moderate video editing.
M Max: High-end graphics capabilities designed for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering and complex video editing.
M Ultra: Top-tier graphics performance for the most demanding applications, including high-resolution video production, advanced 3D modelling, and large-scale data processing.
8GB: Suitable for basic tasks like web browsing, email, and document editing.
16GB: Ideal for multitasking, moderate photo editing, and casual gaming.
32GB: Recommended for professional video editing, 3D rendering, and intensive multitasking.
Apple M-series Macs use one pool of memory for both the processor and graphics. This setup is fast and efficient, but it also means video editing and other heavy tasks can quickly use up available memory. If you’re working with large video files or doing graphics-heavy work, choosing more RAM will help everything run smoother.
256GB: Enough for most users thanks to cloud storage.
512GB: Better if you need offline access or work with larger files.
1TB+: Ideal for professionals handling high-resolution media or large projects.
256GB is enough for most day-to-day tasks, especially with cloud storage, keeping your files safe and accessible. Apple’s on-device storage is costly, so it’s best to choose based on what you need, not just want.
Apple iCloud Drive: Best for Mac users. Built into macOS, it offers seamless file syncing across all Apple devices.
Google Drive: Great if you use Gmail or Google Docs.
Dropbox: A reliable, user-friendly choice for both personal and business use. Easy sharing and solid performance across all platforms.
The myth that you’re better off waiting a while before updating your macOS is a thing of the past. Apple has dramatically improved their initial releases. However, the stigma has still stuck with some users. Unless you have a specific need for an older version, for example, if you’re running legacy software that is no longer updated, you may need to choose a previous version. As default, we install the latest supported version with all the newest features and security updates.

*Devices must be fully functional. **Small excess fee applicable; see full terms and conditions.
Our Warranty covers manufacturing defects and hardware failures. However, accidental damage, normal wear and tear, and third-party repairs are not included. For full details, please refer to our terms & conditions.
Refurbished items can vary in condition, but we’ve tried to make things simple at MacFinder. We split items into three categories.
New (Unsealed)
On newer models, it’s more likely we will have items that come in their original box like they’re new. Sometimes these items have been used for days before we get them, and on some occasions, they are fresh from distributors. We say unsealed because nothing goes without testing, and we must be able to change the configuration for you if required.
Standard Condition
The product is in good condition and expected for its model and year. It may have a few scratches, minor dents or marks that show expected wear and tear. Our technicians have guidelines during preparation that separate any devices we consider to have cosmetic imperfections.
Cosmetic Imperfections
If you’re budget conscious, an item with cosmetic imperfections can be the ideal solution. We cannot stress enough that the defects are only cosmetic, and the systems are completely functional without damage to the internal components. All fair condition system components are meticulously inspected and listed on our website with photos in a separate category.
Shop For Macs With Cosmetic Imperfections
Traditionally, devices came in Silver, but in 2016 Apple started offering Space Grey, Gold or Rose Gold. Newer models can come in up to 7 different colours.
To keep our prices as competitive as possible, we sell items at the standard 20% VAT rate or under the Margin Scheme. This makes no difference to consumers. If you’re a UK VAT-registered business, there is no VAT claimable on Margin Scheme purchases.
Most Macs get at least 7 years of major macOS updates after their release, with additional security updates continuing for a year or two after that.
Some models have received support for up to 11 years, like the Mac Pro (2013) and Mac Mini (2014). We expect 8–10 years of usable life from most models.
Your Mac will still work. You can browse the web, stream, email, and use apps like Microsoft Office well beyond official support. But if you handle sensitive data, we recommend upgrading for complete security.
Yes. Apple Silicon Macs (from 2020 onward) are expected to have even longer support, thanks to Apple’s full control over hardware and software.
With good care, like keeping it clean, avoiding damage, and maintaining the battery, your Mac can easily outlive its update cycle and stay useful for many years.
