    I just tried to pay via PayPal, it authorised it and took it from my account, but upon return to JB it went back to the cart page. Are they getting overloaded or something? It should have thrown me back to the payment page.

  • AutomationGuy on 26/06/2024 - 14:24

    It looks like they released some more stock back to the website. When sorting low to high on all refurbed the M2 13 air showed back up a few minutes ago and could add to cart and pay, but it wouldn't open either of the pages.

    I ordered and paid for a 256 and a 512 in separate orders assuming I'll be lucky if either are fulfilled. I'll have a spare for somebody locally if they do.

    Some bargains were in there. The 512Gb Macbook Air models went quickly. I have a 2018 Macbook Pro 13, and it still goes along pretty well. I was on the fence about going for a Macbook Air 15 model, but they sold out, and the 8Gb argument popped into my head. I ended up hammering the credit card for a Macbook Pro 14 M2 Pro, 16Gb memory, 512Gb SSD. I figure that will last me for another 6 years, and I can sell my current one on. Considerably cheaper than buying a reurbished unit from Apple themselves, and way cheaper than a brand spanking new one. More than enough power to be able to do 4k video editing and other tasks.

    • AirJordan23 on 26/06/2024 - 15:16

      How much did you get it for?

      • bostobne on 26/06/2024 - 16:03

        It was $999, actually the same price as the 256gb. I had one in my cart and it sold out as I was checking out 😭

      • bostobne on 26/06/2024 - 17:00

        Oh wait I just realised the commenter said 16gb. Never mind!

    Good tip - if you ask nicely JB live chat may give you an extra discount. I managed to get 15' M2 Air 512gb for 1180. ($110 saving) Happy spending.

    Unfortunately, this item is currently on back order.
    We have emailed our Operations Team to chase up a revised ETA. As we receive further updates from our supplier we will be in touch with all affected customers via email.

    Ordered the 14 Pro 1tb, shipped on 27 due to arrive in WA 8-11Jul according to Auspost. Given others have already received with low cycle counts and original box, could these be store demo units?

    • AirJordan23 on 28/06/2024 - 17:29

      It could be demo units, when did you ordered your? I ordered mine 1:37 pm 27 June but mine has not been shipped yet. I am in WA as well.

        • AirJordan23 on 28/06/2024 - 17:35

          Please let us know how is the condition once you received it

          • IcedTiramisu on 03/07/2024 - 13:31

            @AirJordan23: Just received it. Box looks like someone handled it with greasy hands quite violently. Almost immaculate with a tiny nick on the Apple Logo, not really visible. Battery cycle 10. Paperwork in the box missing. Charger looks unused, cable definitely used. Mac needed a clean as had some sticky residue. Battery cycle 10. Warranty is out, Apple coverage shows purchase date June 2023. These are definitely demo units JB had in store. They must have consolidated all these and shipped them to a central location for sale as 'renewed'.

            • bauser99 on 03/07/2024 - 13:41

              @IcedTiramisu: I would question the warranty - the JB website for Apple "Renewed" products clearly shows "12 months manufacturer's warranty"

              • IcedTiramisu on 03/07/2024 - 13:43

                @bauser99: Yep, I am waiting on JB Hifi chat to confirm this.

              • IcedTiramisu on 03/07/2024 - 18:34

                @bauser99: Below is response from JB hifi chat, looks like need to contact Apple on this.

                Thanks for contacting us.

                In regard to warranty on the product, it would fall under our >$2000 A*, shown on the image found here https://support.jbhifi.com.au/hc/en-au/articles/360053005194…

                In regard to the Apple warranty, it a 1 year warranty, however you will need to contact Apple in regard to is showing under the device information.

    Mine just arrived to Brisbane. Macbook Pro 16 inch, M2 Pro, 16GB/512GB. Battery cycles is 2. I am very very happy with it. Looks in perfect condition and cost me $2200. It came with original box, charger, magsafe cable. As somebody else mentioned the box is in pretty average condition but the laptop itself looks brand new.

    Just got a tracking number for my 256gb M2 13" Air, after my 512 order was cancelled. (I ordered both suspecting that one or both wouldn't be fulfilled). Would've preferred the 512 but the 256 will do the job for what I need as a 2nd computer.

          Does Apple show an expiry date for your warranty? August 2024 perhaps?

          • JordanM on 02/07/2024 - 18:04

    I ordered MacBook Pro 13 2022 M2, 8GB RAM, 256GB because of this post and it just arrived today. I was hoping for a low cycle count like others have gotten but mine was a bit more at 52 and a limited warranty according to sys info to October 2024.

    The thing that pissed me off though was how it was packaged. The laptop was sitting on a bunch of those bags of air with nothing on top and a grubby old charger was sitting to the side. No original box like many of you.

    • IcedTiramisu on 03/07/2024 - 18:36

      How was the condition of the Macbook itself?

      • bostobne on 03/07/2024 - 21:44

        It's actually pretty good. Only minor scratches in a few places which is surprising if it was a demo out long enough to be charged 52x.

    • bauser99 on 03/07/2024 - 18:58

      If you are not happy with the condition of the MacBook you could always return it based on the shorter than advertised warranty period.

      • bostobne on 03/07/2024 - 21:45

        True, but this is my gateway Mac and I'm trying to transition since every other proper developer uses a Mac.

  • Stuy95 on 03/07/2024 - 20:55

    I ordered the MacBook Air M1 256GB. Asked them for a deal and they did it for $695 - absolute bargain! It arrived today in a generic box with only the charger however the MacBook and the charger both look brand new. Having booted it up, it says the cycle count is 1. Thanks to the original poster, I feel I got a great deal!

    It says Apple coverage has expired - any idea if there is a way to register it given how new the MacBook is?

    • CrispyChrispy on 03/07/2024 - 21:40

    Finally received my MBA 15 M2 256GB

    In original box (a little bashed up but well packed inside a brown box with bubble wrapping)
    Nothing missing inside the box including power pack & magsafe cable & Apple stickers & Quickstart guide
    Looks brand new
    Cycle count 13
    Running Ventura 13.5.1
    Warranty expires 7 August 2024

    Very happy besides the "30 days warranty" but I took a screen dump of the JB website when I ordered it and it clearly showed "12 month manufacturer's warranty"… not quite sure if I should follow this up with JB or Apple?

    • IcedTiramisu on 06/07/2024 - 02:18

      I tried to follow up with JB but no one seemed to know much, probably check with Apple which I haven't tried, report back if you do find out something from either please.

      • stickyfingers on 19/07/2024 - 06:39

        I’d assume the 12 month advertised warranty is through JB themselves, not Apple.

        Keep in mind though that Apple cover Mac devices for 3 years under Australian Consumer Law. It’s on their website in the legal section, a quick Google search should bring it up.

        It’s essentially the same as the standard warranty, it just needs mentioning and sometimes defending.

    Pretty dissapointed. My 13" M2 256 Air arrived today. Brown box, as another poster said just a couple of air bags under the laptop, nothing on top (laptop not remotely secured - bouncing from corner to corner of box with no protection) with the charger and cable thrown in. Lots of deep scratches on the bottom of the macbook. Covered in dust and fingerprints. 85 cycle count. 94% max battery.

    • bostobne on 12/07/2024 - 12:49

    Just received mine now. basically brand new. Battery cycle count 3. No box though. Just bouncing in a box with charger and cable. Surprised how there a no scratches.
