New MacBook Pro's, iPad Mini and iPad Air

Apple today unveiled new 13" and 15" Retina MacBook Pros, which include the latest Intel processors.  The 13-inch version features a Haswell processor, while the 15-inch version comes equipped with a Crystal Well processor.

Unfortunately - Apple have discontinued the standard 15" MacBook Pro.  Studiomacs will continue to sell pre-used MacBook Pro units should you require any in the future.

Apple also announced changes to the iPad and iPad Mini range.  The iPad Mini now features a 7.9" Retina Display, the new 64 bit A7 Processor and an upgraded 5 megapixel rear camera.  The capacity has also increased to a maximum 128Gb

Apples 5th Generation iPad - The iPad Air features a new thinner, lighter and smaller bezel.  It also includes the 64 bit A7 Processor offering over twice the CPU and graphic performance of the 4th Gen iPad.

Should you be in the market for any used or new Apple hardware, please contact our mac sales team on 0845 459 9725.

Mac Rumours

Later today (22nd October) Apple will hold its latest event, which has sent the rumour mill into overdrive.

The invites that we're sent out featured the tagline "we still have a lot to cover". It's fairly certain then that this event will feature updates to the iPad Mini, and it is likely that they will feature a Retina display and a design similar to the recently released iPhone 5c.

We may also see the release of the iPad 5th generation, which is expected to include features such as TouchID as seen on the recent iPhone 5s.  I expect that we will also see a gold edition of the iPad.

There is also talk of an updated MacBook Pro including the latest Haswell chip, however I am not convinced as I predict this will happen after this event.  I dont think Apple will want to deflect attention away from the main focus of Maverick release date, iPad Mini and iPad 5th Gen.

The event takes place this evening (GMT).  Stay hooked to read the latest releases and news from the event.

Trade In your used mac

If you are looking to upgrade your used Macs, and are not sure what to do with the old machines, call us as we can provide a competitive trade in valuation against a machine we have listed.  We will even provide you with time to migrate the data from your used mac to your new machine.

The process is simple.

1. Call us with details of your secondhand macs.  We will need to know the Model and Size, the Processor, RAM and Hard Drive installed.  If you have any additional details please also make us aware as this may increase the valuation.  Finally, we need to know the condition of the machines.  This includes any marks, scratches, dents or dead pixels.

2. Let us know which of our pre-used macs you would like to purchase.

3. Our representative will provide a cost to purchase the pre-used macs after trade-in

4. To proceed, purchase the pre-used macs at full value.  We will then arrange for the items to be dispatched to you.

5. Once your Pre-used Macs arrive, migrate the data from you old Used Mac to your new machine

6. Send your old Macs to us for evaluation.

7. Once evaluated and subject to the machines being as agreed - the trade-in values will be refunded back to you

This is proving ever more popular with our customers.  Why not call us on 0845 459 9725 to discuss your Mac Trade-in requirements.

Sell your MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, iMac or Mac Mini

If you are in the market for a mac upgrade, Studiomacs offer a purchase service that provides a quick and easy way to cash in your pre-used mac, whether it be a used Mac Pro, used iMac, used Mac Mini, used MacBook, used MacBook Pro or used MacBook Air.  

Studiomacs will purchase any used mac that has been well looked after and includes an Intel based processor (2006 or newer).  We strive to provide the best valuations, and we are also able to offer competitive upgrades to products listed on our site.

In addition to individual and private purchases, we also provide a bulk used mac purchase service.  If you are upgrading a suite, studio or entire mac environment, we can assist by managing the removal process of your used macs from the audit and fast removal of your assets through to the destruction of data to DOD standards.  

We also provide a "Staff Buyback Scheme" to our corporate customers allowing employees to buy machines that have been purchased from their company at a discounted price.  This proves particularly popular with IT Directors as the Studiomacs warranty and service removes all liability and burden from their business and IT department.

Should I buy a secondhand mac or new?


Buying a pre-used mac through a reputable dealer such as Studiomacs will certainly save you money against buying a new mac yet secondhand macs can provide similar performance to a new machine.

There is also the benefit of that many of our used macs are backward compatible with certain older Mac operating systems.  A number of our previous customers have had certain applications, databases and hardware that are longer suitable on the latest OS, therefore backward compatible Macs are of particular interest.

Many of our existing customers have also expressed that the latest macs are overkill for their requirement, providing processing power that will never be needed.  Buying a used mac that is a few years old, has been well looked after and fully serviced has proved to be the perfect solution and provided a significant saving.  

And to ease any doubt or fears regarding machine condition and warranty, Studiomacs provide a full multipoint service to all of the secondhand macs that we sell.  This is undertaken by Apple trained engineers, to check that all aspects of the used mac meet our high standards.  We also provide a minimum 90 day warranty to our used macs, which can be upgraded to a 12 or 24 month guarantee if required.

So although not for everyone - buying a secondhand mac compared to a new machine provides a cost effective way to purchase a suitable and reliable computer.  Call us today on 0845 459 9725 to discuss your requirements.
