Not that I'm in the market, having bought an M1 mini about a week before they came out, but I wonder when Mac Studios will begin to show up in the refurb department.
I kind of compulsively check, for no particular reason, and there havent been any yet.

Re: Refurb Mac Studio
It’s probably too soon for any to show up. That might be an option for me if I don’t get one for a few months. WWDC is coming up soon. It will be interesting to see if there’s a new MacPro (not that I could afford one!)

Re: Refurb Mac Studio
The first will show up as returned review units minus the ones assigned to Apple employees—those will show up when there's something newer to test.
Since none of the review units have more than 1TB storage onboard, I haven't been looking.
Still plenty of iMac Pros in the Refurb Store at insane prices—but they'll ship by tomorrow if you place an order. The Studio with the new Studio Display is a much better buy.
I wish that I could be assured of 50% the current Refurb Store price when I go to sell mine with nearly a year and a half of AppleCare left.

I know I want at least 2TB, so I guess I’ll go with new or maybe a refurb will have 2TB.mikehalloran wrote: Since none of the review units have more than 1TB storage onboard, I haven't been looking.

Re: Refurb Mac Studio
Could happen; you never know, right. Apple has that 14 Day no questions asked Return policy. Perhaps an 8TB will show up—I have a credit card with more than enough room if it does.James Steele wrote: ↑Wed May 25, 2022 12:41 pmI know I want at least 2TB, so I guess I’ll go with new or maybe a refurb will have 2TB.mikehalloran wrote: Since none of the review units have more than 1TB storage onboard, I haven't been looking.
