6 Key Tips for Choosing the Best Refurbished Apple Laptop
1. What’s Your Primary Use?
Before selecting a MacBook, think about how you’ll use it.
- Need a lightweight, everyday performer for school or office tasks? The MacBook Air (M1, Late 2020) is perfect for assignments, presentations, and emails.
- For multitasking or professional applications, the MacBook Pro lineup delivers powerful performance. The MacBook Pro 2017 15.4″ features an 18% faster CPU and advanced internal processing—ideal for power users.
Tip: Choose based on RAM and storage. 8GB RAM handles most tasks, while 16GB is better for creatives using graphic or video editing software. For storage, 256GB suffices for basic needs, but 1TB ensures ample space for files and applications.
2. Stick to Your Budget
At PhoneShop.co.nz, we make premium Apple laptops accessible for everyone. Prices for refurbished MacBooks start at just NZ$419 for a MacBook Air 2014 11″ and go up to NZ$1,400 for newer models like the MacBook Pro 2019 13.3″.
Tip: Match your budget with your needs. If streaming and casual use are your top priorities, a budget-friendly option will suit you just fine.
3. Choose the Right Screen Size
Apple laptops come in various screen sizes to meet your needs.
- Travelers will love the compact MacBook Air 2015 11.6″, easy to carry on the go.
- Professionals using editing or gaming software may prefer a larger, more immersive 15” screen for enhanced visuals.
Tip: Larger screens often include Retina displays, offering sharper, high-resolution visuals for better quality.
4. Battery Life That Keeps Up With You
Refurbished MacBooks are designed for long-lasting performance. For example, the MacBook Pro 2017 13″ boasts a battery life that supports all-day wireless use, perfect for people constantly on the move.
Tip: To maximize battery health, avoid completely draining the battery and don’t charge it overnight.
5. Check Connectivity Options
Different models have varying port configurations. The MacBook Pro 2015 15″ offers multiple ports, including Thunderbolt and USB slots, making it perfect for multitaskers and those who need extensive connectivity.
Tip: Think ahead—ensure your refurbished laptop meets your connectivity needs for devices like external drives or monitors.
6. Lightweight or Feature-Rich?
For ultimate portability, go for the MacBook Air 2020 M1, weighing only 2.8 pounds. It’s perfect for travelers and students who value convenience.
Tip: Lightweight laptops may have fewer ports, but they’re still durable and engineered to handle daily use.
