Specifications from everymac.com and Apple. Each unit's storage, colour, version and grade will be shown on its listing.

Grades explained

Fully tested and working — grade reflects cosmetic appearance only.

  • Grade A: This is our best cosmetic grade — the screen is scratch-free and the casing is close to mint condition, with at most tiny micro-marks.
  • Grade B: The screen is scratch-free. There are light scratches on the back or edges — visible if you look closely, not something that jumps out.
  • Grade C: There are a few faint scratches on the screen, only visible when it's switched on, and the casing shows visible scratches or scuffs.
