By Christine McKee

Amazon-owned Woot is delivering the lowest prices anywhere on Mid 2017 15-inch MacBook Pros with discounts of up to $1,000 off today only. These 15-inch notebooks are refurbished by Apple, but come packaged in a generic white box with a Woot 1-year warranty. Apple's 2015 12-inch MacBook is also marked down to $759 while supplies last.

Kicking off the sale, Woot is knocking up to $1,000 off refurbished 2017 15-inch MacBook Pros, with the greatest discount found on the upgraded 2.9GHz, 16GB, 512GB, Radeon 560 model in your choice of Space Gray or Silver. This configuration, which is now $1,799.99, features a faster processor, additional storage and upgraded graphics over the standard model.

Refurbished by Apple but without the Apple warranty (and packaged in a generic white box), each of these configurations comes with a 1-year Woot warranty for added peace of mind. According to our 2017 15-inch MacBook Pro and 2018 15-inch MacBook Pro Price Guides, it would cost at least $600 more to purchase a 15-inch MacBook Pro in new condition.
