For many, the MacBook is a big expense. But what if you suddenly need a new one and are unable to get one? A great moment for some shameless self promotion. At leapp you can also rent a MacBook Pro ! We explain the difference between buying (new or refurbished ) and renting: What are the advantages of renting?
New MacBook
Have you been saving for a MacBook Pro for a long time? Or are you not surprised that your laptop no longer works (properly)? Then a new MacBook Pro might be something for you. The cheapest MacBook Pro model from Apple now costs, hold on to your hats, €1497.91.
Why yes, why not?
Buying a brand new MacBook Pro from Apple has two advantages:
- You are the first owner of the MacBook
- You have the very latest model
For most people, the price tag is a disadvantage. You do spend quite a bit of money...
Buy refurbished MacBook
Do you not care whether you are the first owner? And do you not need to have the latest of the latest? Are you aware of the ecological footprint on our precious Earth? Do you also think a little about your wallet? You want to enjoy fantastic Apple devices? Then a refurbished MacBook Pro is a great option. The price tag is probably the most important reason why people go for refurbished. Buying a refurbished device saves up to hundreds of euros: A beautiful and environmentally friendly alternative to new. The most affordable MacBook Pro at leapp costs €599,-. That is a different story, isn't it?
Why yes, why not?
A refurbished MacBook from leapp has been given a second life and still works (or again) excellently. In addition, you have a two-year warranty and you can expect the same service when you would buy the MacBook Pro new. And perhaps one of the most important reasons: A refurbished MacBook saves a lot of money compared to a brand new device. A disadvantage may be that the appearance of the MacBook can have small imperfections. In addition, the current refurbished MacBook models do not have a Touchbar. Do you really think this is a must? Then new might still be the better option.
Rent a refurbished MacBook Pro
Oh no, laptop broken and you didn't take that into account? Or do you really want a MacBook, but do you simply find the purchase costs too high? At leapp we offer an extra option in addition to buying a refurbished MacBook: You can now also rent your refurbished MacBook Pro. This way you can enjoy a MacBook Pro without high purchase costs, but with the ease of use of Apple. Sounds good, right?
Why yes, why not?
The biggest advantage of renting a refurbished MacBook is that you do not have high purchase costs at once. You can have a refurbished MacBook Pro from €27.50 per month. In addition, you are 'part of the leapp family': If an unexpected problem occurs (or you just feel like having a good conversation about tech), you can always contact leapp. Renting a refurbished MacBook is a nice option if a refurbished or brand new MacBook is not possible for now. A downside may be that after two years you will not be the owner of a MacBook, but hey, you have been able to enjoy it without any worries - and perhaps save up for your very own MacBook.
