Amazon also has a certified refurbished store for Apple products but we would advise against buying any products that are older than five years \u2013 most of the products we see on the Amazon refurbished store are unfortunately very old. Another place to look is BackMarket US<\/a> and BackMarket UK<\/a>, which sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products. We also recommend Hoxton Macs<\/a> in the U.K.<\/p>\n
