MacBook Pro – Choosing refurbished
Applications before model names
Base performance needs on your projects. Photo, video, music and development applications use CPU, GPU and memory differently; a bigger model name alone does not decide usefulness.
Intel and Apple Silicon
Check processor architecture and software compatibility. Existing Intel workflows and applications on Apple Silicon may require different operating systems, extensions and accessories.
Choosing memory
Plan memory around your simultaneous applications and projects. Choose the offered configuration carefully; later upgrades must not be assumed for every model.
SSD and your files
Allow space for applications, photos, videos and local projects. Compare actual SSD capacity; external storage can hold archives but does not replace a backup.
