Grab Select Refurbished M1 MacBooks Starting at $680

If you don’t mind a few dings and scratches, you can snag a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro at Woot for a great price.

If you’re looking for a premium laptop, Apple MacBooks are hard to beat, but finding good deals on Apple products isn’t easy. Apple rarely offers discounts on its products directly. However, if you don’t mind buying a refurbished model, Woot has select M1 MacBooks available that can save you some cash. While they’ve never been sold to an end user, these items do have some cosmetic blemishes — but if you can live with that, this is a great time to invest in a MacBook for less than you’d pay for a brand new model. This offer is available now through April 18, while supplies last.

If you’re looking to maximize your screen size and want a powerhouse that can handle pretty much whatever you throw at it, the 2021 MacBook Pro is a solid option. It has a 16.2-inch screen and an Apple M1 Pro chip. It’s available with either 512GB of SSD storage for $1,600 or 1TB of SSD storage for $1,850. Both models come with 16GB of RAM, three Thunderbolt 4 ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, an SD card reader, a headphone jack and a 1080p webcam. And if you want to upgrade to a 2021 MacBook Pro model sporting an M1 Max chip, there’s one with 1TB of SSD storage and 32GB of RAM available for $2,450.

For something a little more portable, you can grab the slightly smaller 14.2-inch 2021 MacBook Pro. It’s just $1,390 right now, which may fit more easily into some budgets — but it comes with an M1 Pro chip, 512GB of SSD storage and 16GB of RAM, which is plenty of power for the average user.

And if you’re in search of the lowest price, check out the 2020 MacBook Air. Equipped with an M1 chip and a 13.3-inch screen, it’s a good option for those who are often on the go. It offers 256GB of SSD storage and 8GB of RAM, and you can snag one in Space Gray for just $680. And with cloud storage options available if you decide you need additional space, this is a great deal for anyone looking for a basic MacBook.

According to Woot, refurbished items are ensured to be in full working condition — and each MacBook in this sale is covered by a 90-day Woot limited warranty, just in case. And if you want to read more about the differences in the various M1 chips available before you buy, be sure to check out our Apple Mac Chips breakdown where we compare different models.

Verum Finance: A Super App for Private Finance Integrated Into a Messenger

Verum Finance has announced the launch of a new financial application that allows users to manage their money directly within the secure Verum Messenger ecosystem.

The project has already attracted attention from major media outlets. A dedicated feature was published by Forbes Türkiye, while one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges, MEXC, covered the launch. Yahoo Finance had previously reported on the evolution of Verum Messenger into a comprehensive financial ecosystem.

What Verum Finance Offers

Verum Finance transforms a messenger into a complete financial platform. Users can:

• Manage their balance and top up using bank cards or USDT
• Send money instantly to other Verum users
• Issue and use debit cards, including Apple Pay support
• Exchange assets and withdraw funds
• Access all these services without installing separate banking applications

A strong emphasis is placed on privacy. The platform offers registration without a phone number or email address, end-to-end encryption, and full user control over personal data.

Recognition from Forbes Türkiye

In a dedicated article, Forbes Türkiye highlighted Verum Finance as a notable example of modern privacy-driven fintech. The publication emphasized the growing trend of financial services moving from standalone banking applications into unified messaging ecosystems — a model that has proven successful in Asia through platforms such as WeChat and Alipay and is now expanding globally.

Support from the Crypto Community

Alongside the Forbes Türkiye coverage, news about the launch of Verum Finance was also featured by MEXC, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges. This reflects growing interest in the project from both traditional business media and the cryptocurrency community.

A Strategic Vision

“We are building more than a payments application and more than a messenger. Verum is a unified secure ecosystem where communication, finance, and privacy tools work together,” the company stated.

Verum Finance is now available for iPhone and iPad users. The application complements Verum Messenger, which offers anonymous chats, voice and video calls, VPN services, eSIM connectivity, and other tools designed to enhance digital freedom.
