3 Top Benefits for Buying a Pre-owned MacBook Pro

Buying a brand new electronic device always sounds great until you face the big dent it will put in your wallet. Once you start upgrading the specs and adding accessories, the price often becomes unaffordable.

Like a pre-owned auto, buying a pre-owned MacBook Pro will net substantial savings. And if you want or need better specs, purchasing a used MacBook Pro is more cost-efficient than investing in a new computer that does not have precisely what you need.

1.  You can often find 15” MacBook Pro laptops for the price of a 13”.

There are definitely cost savings when buying pre-owned MacBook Pros. Many owners simply trade in their laptops to buy the latest, greatest model. That means that many of the pre-owned MacBook Pros are in excellent condition and practically new!

You are likely to end up with a pre-owned laptop that has a better CPU, more RAM, a larger display, and more extensive storage than your money could buy new. Even with new models’ fluctuating prices, you can save 10% to 50% on a pre-owned machine.

2.  Why an Apple Laptop vs. Windows PC

Buying a PC that runs on Windows may sound like a reasonably inexpensive way to go, but there are definite downsides, such as:

• The user experience on an Apple is always considered much more straightforward than on a PC. Apple’s closed system is self-contained, and users do not have to learn so many detailed processes.
• Apple software can easily sync up to your iPhone and iPad, allowing shared access to calendars, contacts, notes, and text messages. Although a PC can also sync devices, Apple makes this feature a no-brainer.
• The learning curve involved in changing formats from an Apple to a PC is time-consuming. It is so much easier to stay with what you already know and build on that knowledge.
• PCs are not engineered to last as long as Apple products, so any savings will be lost when a replacement laptop is needed sooner than later.

3.  Why Buying Pre-owned is Environmentally Friendly

When buying pre-owned or refurbished from a reputable seller, you are extending the lifespan and reducing the number of computers and laptops being buried in a landfill. Most people do not realize that computers and laptops are full of toxic chemicals and parts that cause serious harm to the surroundings if not recycled properly.

Plus, buying pre-owned reduces your carbon footprint! You may hear or read that new technology is technically more energy-efficient. That is true for the user, but the manufacturer expends four-fifths of the total energy used during the computer’s production. (Only one-fifth of the total energy is used during its life span!)
