On this occasion it is possible that many users did not realize the arrival of the new 12 ″ MacBook from April of this year to the Apple restored section, but it is that we have been a few days that the guys from Cupertino do not stop adding products in this section. A few days ago we saw the arrival of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, a day ago the arrival of the new 9,7-inch iPad Pro and now what we see is that we already have the new models of This year's 12-inch MacBook in the section of refurbished or repaired products, ready to sell.
In this sense, what we have to say is that the difference in price between the 2015 and 2016 models in the restored section is noticeable. At first glance, the changes between the two Macs are not noticeable, and that is that the design did not change anything and ports were not added in the 2016 model, but they do change in hardware specifications and these are to take into account especially with the new processors and the battery. Here we leave you a small table with the most important differences between both models:
| Specifications | MacBook 2016 | MacBook 2015 |
|---|---|---|
| Screen | 12-inch screen with LED light | 12-inch screen with LED light |
| Capacity | 256GB of onboard PCIe flash storage | 256GB of onboard PCIe flash storage |
| Processor | Intel Core M3 Skylake dual-core (2 × 1.1 GHz) | Intel Core M (2 × 1.1 GHz) |
| Conference proceedings | 8GB | 8GB |
| Battery | 41,4Wh with 29W power adapter | 39,7Wh with 29W power adapter |
| Colours | Gray, silver, gold and rose gold | Gray, silver and gold |
| Graphics | Intel HD Graphics 515 | Intel HD 5300 |
| Local | 1 x USB-C, headphone jack | 1 x USB-C, headphone jack |
For now, what we have to keep in mind is that these products are not new, but it is true that they pass through new ones quietly if it were not for the fact that the Mac box indicates that it is a refurbished product. Not all Macs arrive with the same problems at Apple and in some cases these are users who for whatever reason, without being a computer failure, return it to Apple. That's when after a full review by Apple and adding new accessories like power cord and so on, these are added to the list of restored.
If we cannot take advantage of the student discount and we do not care about the "not brand new" equipment, this Apple section may be interesting for our pockets and now with the Spectacular new 12 ″ MacBook April 2016.
