Apple^® is infamous for manufacturing high-quality laptops and desktop computers, but they are also known for having higher price tags. If you don’t have the budget to buy a brand new machine, you should consider investing in a certified pre-owned Apple® computer or MacBook® laptop, which is usually priced lower but not necessarily lesser in performance or quality. If finding the right Mac® computer or laptop model among a wide variety of MacBook^® laptops and iMac^® computers feels overwhelming, here’s a guide to help you get started.

What Are Your Considerations?

Size, use, and budget should be your primary considerations when choosing a pre-owned Apple® computer or MacBook® laptop. If you’re a student, casual user, or someone who works on the go, MacBook® laptops can give you needed mobility and portability with their sleek and lightweight design. For heavy users that require powerful specs for their workstations, iMac® desktop computers have you covered. 

Which Pre-Owned Apple® Computer Is Right for You?

When choosing a pre-owned Apple® computer, knowing what the specs are is important, but you’ll also need to know what they mean. Learn the differences behind the numbers on CPUs, RAM options, graphics cards, and storage capacities and how they can impact performance and overall user experience. You should also consider the age of the computer and its operating system. You’ll want to make sure the model you choose has the latest version of Apple's operating system to ensure you don’t miss out on any key functions. Also, check out reviews and try to experience each model’s responsiveness by tinkering with in-store displays before purchasing.
