Buying tech can seem like a minefield. In fact it can leave some people feeling like they are the only ones that don’t understand quite how to find what they are looking for. We are all led to believe that larger companies offer a better service, prices and quality. CheshireMacs are here to change the way people buy tech and are setting new standards for the world of refurbished Macs.

Rest assured that our service, prices and quality are some of the main focuses for our work ethic. It isn’t good enough just to have the products to sell. Refurbished Macs and refurbished MacBooks are sought after. But people want to buy from companies who can offer competitive pricing as well as a great service.

Our Process:

Each device that we sell is inspected and tested by our expert technicians. Our inspection procedure is comprehensive and exhaustive. It is important that we take our time to examine every element of the device in order to move it onto the next stage.

We work to check the screen and make sure there are no damaged pixels or issues with brightness, lines or blurriness. The device is also checked for imperfections such as scratches, dents or defects so that it can be appropriately graded.

Any issues or areas of concern will be thoroughly replaced, cleaned or sorted so that we have the confidence each element is working at its best.

The device is then thoroughly cleaned by hand. We restore the factory settings and confirm the grading that the device will be sold at. This process helps to define the cost at which the device will sell for.

We may be a smaller company, but we have large aspirations to change the way in which people buy tech. Our team will always go the extra mile and create a service that is hard to beat. Get in touch with any questions you have on 01625 415088.

One question that we are asked daily is which Mac's can run Final Cut Pro?

Because Final Cut Pro is Apple software the good news is the vast majority of Mac's can run it.

What is Final Cut Pro? This is Apple’s professional-level video editing software. It is an incredibly popular software for both professionals and also consumers looking for more power for their video editing projects. It does a really great job of providing a solution for both groups. There are well-publicised pros and cons for both groups. However, it has received great press once users get used to different elements of the software.

Did you know?

Final Cut Pro works exclusively on Mac computers (as it was made by Apple). It is possible that this will change in the future, but right now there are no versions available for Windows or other operating systems.

The minimum system requirements are 4GB of RAM, 1GB of VRAM, 4.5GB of available disk space and macOS 11.5.1 (Big Sur) or later.

We would recommend going for 8GB of RAM minimum and the biggest screen you can accommodate for easier editing purposes but this isn't essential.

Regarding the OS this means any MacBook Air, MacBook Pro or iMac from 2014 onwards will be compatible.

An Apple iMac can be your best friend or worst enemy if you feel like it is working really slowly. There are many steps and stages you can work through to find out what is going on but there is one key solution.

One of the most common questions we receive is ‘how do I speed up my iMac?’. The answer isn’t always straight forward and simple. However, our technicians have over 20 years’ experience. This allows them to draw on this to find the best solution for our clients.

If your iMac does not have an SSD (solid state drive) then this can often be the answer to speeding up your iMac. We are able to offer fast turnaround on all iMac repairs. Message us or get in touch if you would like a quote for an SSD. This could help provide a solution to an issue you may have been fighting for some time.
