TL;DR: Get a refurbished Apple MacBook Pro (3.1GHz i5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD) on sale for $329.97.
The only real downside of a MacBook is the price. Once you leap that hurdle, they’re great computers you can use for work, school, marathoning your favorite shows, and practically everything in between. They also can really last, which is pretty important if you’ve seen computer prices lately. Even older MacBook models are still a solid investment, especially if you’re looking for a good computer for lightweight daily tasks.
If you want to get an Apple computer minus the Apple price, check out refurbished devices like this one. This MacBook Pro is in near-mint condition, but it has still been marked down from $1,499 to $329.97, but there are only a few of them left.
Under the hood
This MacBook has a 3.1GHz Intel Core i5 processor and Turbo Boost up to 3.5GHz, so it can handle everyday tasks, multitasking, and even some heavier workloads without slowing down. The 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD mean you’ll have enough memory and storage to keep things running smoothly, whether you’re working on documents, streaming your favorite shows, or organizing photos.
Retina displays always look good, and this one doesn’t disappoint. It has a resolution of 2560×1600 and a brightness of 500 nits, so it looks clear and vibrant for creative work.
One of the benefits of buying a slightly older MacBook is they still have all their ports. This one has four USB-C ports for charging, extra displays, and fast file transfers. And don’t forget about the Touch Bar, which adds a cool level of interactivity with customizable controls, along with the security of Touch ID for fast login and Apple Pay.
