Seek the Geek

Honestly affordable tech support from only the best nerds. Since 1999. Best Buy is pretty alright. Staples is too. That's what Geek Squad charges. And your shirt.

I mean, you peruse the aisles, ogle the merchandise, and then...you wince at the prices.

$199 for virus removal? And that's only if you come into their lovely air conditioned store. From the comfort of your home? $299. Didn't quite realize you'd be losing that arm and leg, did you? You figure that Staples would offer a bit of mercy? That's not easy. $149 for in-store repair, and a less than reaso

Hey, folks. Here we go.

TL;DR: Three M1 "Silicon" MacBooks for Sale. 2 Airs, 1 Pro. All of them with 256 GB of SSD space, and 8 GB of RAM. The Pro is available for $700, and each of the Airs for $650. Comes with a fresh install of macOS Catalina (13.4.1) + Microsoft Office.

The shop has been crowded lately, and then, some more luck found us.

In shop, for sale -- THREE M1 MacBooks. That's right; these are Apple's new generation of MacBooks, and it's more than a bit impressive as to how FAST these things are...even the MacBook Airs!

If you haven't had a chance to use one of the new "Silicon" or M1 series of Macs, here's the idea:

Apple, for the first time since the PowerPC era ended in the 2000s, started building their laptops with in-house-built CPUs. Stranger still, they modeled the new processors from the SAME ONES that are in your iPhones and iPads today. You might think this would hamper the speed, but it's the exact opposite.

The fans in these barely kick on. They barely get hot. Programs open in SECONDS, and the RAM management is top shelf. At a shop I worked at, I was part of the upgrade rollout for close to 200 of these. The first folks to get them were the media dept., who needed new machines for video editing.

They got MacBook Airs...and were using them to render 4K video in After Effects. No overheating, fans barely kicked on, worked wonderfully. I was more than pleasantly surprised.

With all of that story out of the way, check the screenshots for details, but here's the rundown:

Two (2) "Silicon" MacBook Air M1 for sale -- $650 each.
8 GB of RAM, 256 GB SSD.
Two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports.
Comes with fresh install of macOS Catalina (13.4.1) + Microsoft Office for Mac + charger.

One (1) "Silicon" MacBook Pro for sale -- SOLD!

If you're interested, drop us a line though Facebook Messenger, or send us an email (seekthegk (at) gmail.com).

As usual, THESE WILL NOT LAST. Especially given how new they are, so drop us a line if you're interested!

Well, that took almost no time.

The two Macs that we posted have been SOLD.

Stay tuned for more soon!
