Refurbished MacBooks have been our hardest category to keep on the shelf. The last shipment cleared the warehouse in under three weeks, and the one before that was gone in a long weekend.
We just landed a fresh batch — and if past patterns hold, we don't expect this one to sit around either.
This restock covers four of Apple's most-asked-for M3 MacBooks: the MacBook Air 13", the MacBook Air 15", the MacBook Pro 14" with M3 Pro, and the MacBook Pro 16" with M3 Pro. Every unit is certified refurbished, fully tested, backed by a 1-year Skadi warranty, and ships free across Canada.
What "Certified Refurbished" Actually Means at Skadi
Every refurbished MacBook in this restock has been:
- Functionally tested — every port, every key, the camera, the speakers, the trackpad, and Wi-Fi.
- Battery-checked — battery health verified against minimum thresholds before the unit ships.
- Cosmetically inspected — graded for finish, units below our like-new bar excluded.
- Wiped and resealed — fresh macOS install, factory reset, no leftover data.
The Lineup
MacBook Air 13" — M3
The everyday Mac. 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display at 224 ppi, fanless silent design, up to 18 hours of battery, and 2.7 lbs total. The laptop that lives in your bag and you forget is there.
MacBook Air 15" — M3
Same M3 chip. Same battery class. Bigger window into your work. The thinnest 15-inch laptop Apple has ever shipped, still under 3.3 lbs.
MacBook Pro 14" — M3 Pro
The pro workhorse, sized to fit a backpack. M3 Pro chip, 12-core CPU, 18-core GPU. Liquid Retina XDR ProMotion display. Full pro port loadout — three Thunderbolt 4, HDMI, SDXC, MagSafe.
MacBook Pro 16" — M3 Pro
The reference machine. Everything in the 14", scaled up. 16.2-inch XDR display, 99.6 Wh battery for up to 22 hours, six-speaker sound system.

How to Choose
If you're not sure which one fits, the decision usually comes down to two questions.
1. Are you running pro creative workloads? If yes, M3 Pro — Pro 14" or Pro 16". If no, the Air will out-batter, out-portable, and out-quiet the Pro.
2. How much does your laptop move? Daily carry → Air 13" or Pro 14". Lives on your desk → Air 15" or Pro 16".
A Note on Quantities
We don't make a habit of leaning into urgency, but the pattern on MacBook restocks is consistent enough that it's worth saying plainly: these don't last.
The last batch was gone in under three weeks. We don't get to control how many units we get, when the next batch will land, or what configurations will be in it. This batch is here now.
