Which MacBook should I buy?

[Saleha Latif]

Hi everybody, I need to buy a MacBook but am very confused as to which one I should buy, I’m open to buying a second hand one. I want it to be fast but also quite nice and swanky. Also what’s the main difference between a regular MacBook and a Pro. Thank you ☺️

MacBook Pro's have more internal "power" and sometimes more ports.
If you can afford it, they're "the better buy".

Best thing to do is go to a brick-and-mortar Apple Store and try some out.
But just do this "for evaluation" -- don't "buy on impulse".

Suggestion:
Try the older "2015 design" MacBook Pro 15" if they have one on display.
Some people (including me) prefer the "older style" keyboard and the extra "legacy ports" on the earlier design.

Be aware that the Apple Stores don't have "Apple factory refurbished" models on display, but they are essentially "like new" and come with the Apple 1-year warranty, and you can buy AppleCare for the refurbs, as well.

I would suggest you consider a 2015 (model year) MacBook Pro 13" -- a very sturdy Mac.
You can find these on Apple's pages for refurbished models.

How important to you is weight, size, ports availability or $? Requirements? Depending where you are refurbished models may be available.
