Refurb 2018 MBP vs 2019 MBP (4port)

[karthik02]

Would you get the Apple certified refurbished 2018 MBP over the 2019 MBP (4 port), with otherwise similar specs (so the base model 256gb / 8gb ram)?

Let’s say the price different is $367. Is the 2019 MBP worth that much money more than the 2018 version? I checked with Apple and they suggested checking the hardware warranty date based on the serial after purchasing (since the keyboard is known to have problems) but otherwise the date on the receipt will be sufficient for warranty purposes.

So I’m confused about how much the improvements (if any) on the 2019 are worth paying for.


Thoughts?

[doublepost=1563486158][/doublepost]You’re comparing a brand new 2019 MacBook Pro versus a 2018 certified refurbished (used) hopefully directly from Apple MacBook Pro. Yes, it is normally presumed that the one year old, used whatever will cost less than the current BRAND NEW whatever. (Whatever is a placeholder for whatever, iPad, iPhone, MacBook Pro, car...)
