Anyone else notice the way the Refurbished Mac Pro's are listed on the website? Some of them have been denoted with "(USB-C)" BUT they show no specs at all! How do they expect to sell them? Remember when Apple ran a tight ship?

Original Title: Refurbished Mac Pro's on Website
Mac Pro, macOS 15.5
If you click on the Mac Pro in question, and go down to the “Tech Specs” section, you’ll find all the specifics.

While we can’t contest what you viewed …
… this particular MBP’s details are representative of what I can see right now on ALL of the refurbished products; which closely mimics what’s displayed on “factory fresh” models.
The (USB-C) One has a USB-C charge cable included,
the other has a USB-C to Lightning cable included.

Can’t find any Mac Pros without tech specs?
Can you link to one without tech specs.
The "(USB-C)" is odd, unless, perhaps, it refers to the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, and charge cable.
All of the Intel-based Mac Pros from 2019, and all of the M2 Ultra Mac Pros, have USB-C (Thunderbolt) ports – but there are no Mac Pro model names with (USB-C) in the name in MacTracker or on the Apple documentation site.
MacTracker shows the USB-C versions of the Magic Keyboards and Magic Mice as having been released in October 2024. The M2 Ultra Mac Pro came out in June 2022. The logical conclusion is that Apple originally shipped the M2 Mac Pro with Magic Keyboards and Magic Mice that recharged via Lightning.
I've "chatted" with Sales and Technical Support people twice! They don't have an answer and quite frankly don't seem to care. The last guy said "oh it's probably the base 64GB RAM and 1TB Storage" regarding a $8499 Refurbished Mac Pro! I give up...Adios to "Clueless in Cupertino!"
That "Please wait" link starts off with text that looks like it is for the Apple site, but brings up a login screen for a third-party digital wallet site. Even if I strip off everything starting with the "?", it brings up that login screen.
Part of the URL is "us_epp_85199" – is this by chance, a Mac in one of the special Apple Stores only available to Education, Government, Military/Veteran, or Employee customers, or something like that?
I see what's happening now.
The USB-C ones, are missing the "Overview" section that in other entries holds the RAM and Storage specs.
It's probably a glitch with those specific models for some reason.
While I can't tell you why it's happening, I'm pretty sure it's not intended by Apple to hide the specs.
What I can gather, is that for some when there's a USB-C model with our those specs, this is a regular model with those specs at the same price, so one can assume the specs would be the same.
Unfortunately in the case of the $8,499, one you link to, there is no other model, but since price goes up, one can assume it has at least 2TB of storage and 192GB of RAM as the previous ones that are $350 cheaper.
With that said, it's definitely something they need to correct.
Very Frustrating! They can't even tell me what the specs are when I contact them! How do they sell machines without showing the RAM and Storage Specs? I'm just so dumbfounded by it all...I'm glad someone was able to see what I was talking about at least. Thanks!
I had tried that before and the "tech Specs" were just generic, nothing specific...Thanks!
Actually some show the specs and some don't! It just seems odd for Apple to be so vague on info and expect someone to buy a $7k computer without the specs!
Can you post a link to the Mac Pro you are looking at. As I said, I can't find a single one without actual tech specs as shown in the screen shot I posted in a previous reply.
Hopefully the link works? It says "Please Wait..." Basically it's all the units with (USB-C) denoted except for the one you found that had them listed under Tech Specs
