Hola,
I've been using my old Macbook since 2005 and I'm thinking of getting a MacBook Pro. I'm a musician so am not familiar with computer stuff so I need your advice.
I'm currently deciding between two of the following laptops. Detailed advice would be appreciated but I simply want to know (1) which of the two YOU would choose and (2) a couple of reasons to why and (3) another laptop you would recommend. You might think it really depends on what I am looking for but I just want an Apple laptop that can burn a DVD, that doesn't have a retina display ($$), in other words I'm a tech noob who just wants a fast and a reliable laptop.
So these are ones I have in mind. Refurbished one costs $30 more than the brand new one.
2013 Brand New Macbook Pro 13.3inch
v.s.
2011 Factory Refurbished Macbook Pro 13.3inch
-----------------------------------------------------------
BRAND NEW ONE (2013)
2.5 GHz Dual-core Intel Core i5
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM 2x4GB
500GB Serial ATA Drive @ 5400 rpm
REFURBISHED ONE (2011)
2.8 GHz Dual-core Intel Core i7
4GB (2 x 2GB) of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
128GB Solid State Drive
Thanks guys!
