A quick heads-up on something new. From today there's a new grade on the TA1 Mac Store: Saver.
It sits just below Fair, and it's for Macs that work perfectly but show a little more of their life on the outside. Honestly graded, at a price that's easier on the wallet.
What a Saver Mac looks like
A Saver Mac can have scratches and small marks on the screen that are slightly visible when it's on. Alongside that you'll find cosmetic wear on the casing, no more than our Fair grade: noticeable scratches, scuffs or light dents.
Nothing crazy or shocking, though. No cracks or dead pixels on the screen. Just an honestly graded device at an affordable price.
On the inside, nothing changes. Every Saver Mac is fully tested and working, with at least 85% battery health and under 400 cycles, same as every other grade.
From the Outlet to our 365-Day RTB Warranty
Until now, Macs like these went to our Discounted Outlet, where they came with a 30-day RTB warranty.
From now on, the ones that qualify are listed as Saver instead. That means they come as standard with our 365-Day RTB Warranty, same as every other graded Mac, for complete peace of mind.
They're also bundled with a compatible charger, and it's mentioned in the listing, so you know exactly what's in the box. The Discounted Outlet is still there for the one-offs that don't fit any of our grades.
Would I use one? I already do
Here's the honest bit: both of the Macs I work on every day would be listed under this grade.
A few marks don't change how a Mac performs, and that's exactly what Saver is about.
How to find a Saver Mac
On any Mac's page, Saver shows up next to Fair whenever we've got one in stock in that colour. You'll also see it as its own row on our collection pages.
Every grade, Saver included, is explained with photos on our Grading Criteria page.
