A MacBook Pro 15-inch is much more than a laptop. Because of its lightweight design, it transforms into a portable notebook! Students who carry books and laptops to different classroom locations on and off-campus will appreciate a lighter load.

The question is whether a student should consider a pre-owned MacBook Pro 15-inch versus the latest and newest model. As a well-known third-party seller, we help a large volume of students looking for the best laptop they can get for the money. There are a few reasons we often recommend pre-owned versus refurbished versus new.  Read on to find out why.

A pre-owned laptop means it has been used but returned within the return policy’s rules. A refurbished laptop means the device was brought in for repair. It may have been broken or defective but then repaired and brought back to the manufacturer’s original settings.

There are a few solid reasons a student would benefit from purchasing a pre-owned MacBook Pros 15-inch.

The Price is Right & More Availability

Pre-owned MacBook Pro 15-inch laptops are priced competitively and still offer significant discounts than buying the newest model. Refurbished products are more difficult to come by than the latest MacBook Pro 15-inch laptops because Apple has mandated that the newest model cannot be sold as refurbished until the next model is released. Therefore pre-owned Apple laptops are easier to find. Also, the trend has been that so many Apple enthusiasts sell their current models so they can upgrade to the latest and most fabulous MacBook Pros. The result is that at any one time, many pre-used laptops are in circulation to be sold and also in great condition.

Upgrades in the Future

Once students finish school and on their way to finding a job in their field, they will likely want and need a newer MacBook Pro. It makes little sense to spend excessive amounts of money to buy the latest and greatest for school when a pre-owned laptop will satisfy high school and university needs.

Where to Find Pre-Owned MacBook Pro 15-inch

Although Apple sells pre-owned MacBook Pros, it is less expensive to purchase one from a third-party seller. It is also essential to review the specifications of the pre-owned laptop you are considering. It will help to decide which features and app necessities you want. Then create another list of options you would like that will not necessarily make or break the deal if not available within your price range.

Most students are happy with the basics unless studying computer science, graphics, video editing, and the like are required. A complete list will help a seller, like DV Warehouse, find the year and model that suits your needs.
