Our Refurbished Apple Computers – Building Trust

David Hardy

When people are looking for refurbished Apple computers, they often find that it is easier to deal with a company who have a physical location. While there are many ways in which we are able to communicate online, sometimes being able to seek advice in person is really important. Especially when you are spending larger amounts of money.

So many of our clients comment on this. They also appreciate our friendly and helpful approach. While we have all of the technical information and details, it is important that we do not bombard you with all of this. Sometimes it can be too much and sometimes it can leave you feeling confused.

Buying Refurbished Apple Computers – What’s Important?

It is important that you carefully consider how you intend to use your Apple computer. Think about the packages you will be using and what space they will need. Do you stream movies or play computer games? Each of these factors may guide you in different directions when choosing the best device. One of our clients recently commented:

“So pleased to find a local company with a physical location for a refurb following some pretty awful experiences with online giants including music magpie and amazon. First class customer service, every message sent via chat was responded to immediately and so friendly. Advertised as Grade A the Macbook Pro is completely immaculate. I believe a member of staff went in on a day off over Christmas to arrange for this to be delivered the next day. No issues with set up so far. Brilliant service, many thanks.” – Kate B

Photoshop - Which Macs Are Compatible?

David Hardy
Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard tool for working with digital images of any kind.
 
Photoshop has a tremendous breadth of uses in various industries ranging from photographers to graphic artists. The program is so flexible, it is is used for both adjusting photographs and creating graphic elements.
 
We are often asked which Macs are suitable for use with Photoshop.
 
The minimum recommended specs for Macs are 8GB RAM, OS Big Sur or later (2014 onwards). Graphics Card - GPU with Metal support or
1.5 GB of GPU memory.
 
The recommended specs for heavy use are macOS Big Sur (version 11), 16 GB RAM or more and a Graphics Card with GPU with Metal support
4 GB of GPU memory for 4k displays and greater.
 
The storage for both is very much dependent on how many pictures you want to store but you can also get an external hard drive.
 
This means all of our 14, 15 and 16 inch MacBook Pro's, most of our 27 inch iMacs and the 21 inch iMacs from 2017 with 4K Display are compatible.

“Great communication from this company after I made a mistake putting in my delivery address. They called me within a few hours to double check and sorted it out straight away. Super quick postage and item was brand new as described! Thanks” – Josh H

“It has been a pleasure to deal with Dave at Cheshire Macs. His advice, professional knowledge and customer focused manner resulted in me purchasing a refurbished IMac 24". It was described as 'as new' and it was exactly that. In fact the only difference between it, and a brand new one, was about £700. Highly recommended for their honest approach, exemplary service, careful packing and prompt next day delivery. Thank you, I am very impressed.” - Pat

Logic Pro - Which Macs are compatible?

David Hardy
Logic Pro - Which Mac is compatible?
 
Logic Pro is a very popular music creation program - powerful creative tools for professional songwriting, beat-making, editing and mixing.
 
As with Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro is software created by Apple so suits most Macs.
 
Anything with OS 11.5 (Big Sur 2014) or later will run Logic and we would recommend 8GB of RAM and minimum 256GB Storage.
 
An iMac or MacBook Pro or Air will work and is really down to personal preference, if you're out and about or travelling to recording studios go for a MacBook or if you have a home studio an iMac would most likely be preferable.
 
Here's a link to our full range, just remember to select 8GB of RAM minimum - https://cheshiremacs.com/collections/all

The Gift of an Apple Mac

David Hardy

The invention of the Apple Mac and other Apple devices completely transformed the way we use our laptops, computers and tablets. The truth of the matter is that they are incredible and offer users a great, high-quality experience. So many often comment on people having multiple devices and how youth are always having a device in their hand. The world has changed and its time to start embracing that!

As we approach Christmas, parents everywhere are starting to look for guidance with a present. While our kids may not quite understand the value of money when asking for the latest tech, it is important that they have what they need.

Why an Apple Mac?

Although there are many different types of phone types out there, it is very likely that your child will have an iPhone. Whether it is the latest model or not, they will be very familiar with how to use it. It is much easier to connect and swap between Apple devices. This is often a large reason why parents select an Apple computer over another make. That and their reputation based around being the best on the market.

At CheshireMacs we have come up with a great system where you can split the cost of a refurbished Mac or iPads over 3 months. You are able to purchase through Klarna. This, put simply, means that you can spread the cost of the item without any interest charges over 3 months.

Buying an Apple iMac, MacBook or iPad really is an investment. Every item sold by us leaves us with a 12-month warranty and free delivery. We are a small-business, and a large part of our professional reputation is based around the high-quality service we offer. To us, your opinion matters, and the purchasing process is important to get it right.

Thinking of giving the gift of an Apple Mac this Christmas? Get in touch and we will endeavour to do our best to find the absolute best solution for your needs. Call today on 01625 415088 or email us on info@cheshiremacs.com.
