Got your eye on the powerful iMac Pro but don’t want to pay full price? Apple just began selling refurbished units for 15 percent off.

iMac Pro is Apple’s first all-in-one machine for professionals who need serious capabilities. The only problem? It starts at $5,000.

But refurbished units start at $4249 instead. That’s not lunch money, but this is a $750 savings. And that money buys a computer with a 3.2GHz 8-core Intel Xeon W processor, 27-inch Retina 5K display, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD.

Buying used computers makes some people nervous, which is why they’re 15 percent off. But Apple promises “We test and certify all Apple refurbished products and include a 1-year warranty.”

The device is available in a cornucopia of configurations: faster processor, more RAM and storage, and better graphics cards. All refurbished.

And the discounts apply to higher-specced units, too. An iMac Pro with a 10-core processor, 64 GB of RAM, and 2TB SSD starts at $6,799, for example, not $7999.

A crazy-powerful model with an 18-core Intel Xeon W processor, 64 GB of RAM, and 2TB SSD is $8,159.

Refurbished iMac Pro models can be ordered now from Apple’s website. But don’t wait, supplies are limited. Still, “availability is guaranteed once we receive your full payment” is Apple’s commitment.
