Just bought 2017 MacBook Pro for 400$, battery was not good anymore bought one for 59$ replaced it and I now have a very nice computer. Opencore Legacy made my computer up to date and still work pretty well for a 7 years old computer

I put in Windows 11 in my Macbook Pro 2015 15-inch Retina for a dual OS. Excellent laptop for office work and entertainment - way better in durability and aesthetic than many newer laptops.

THANKS for the great info for the budget customers! I love that you gave us a wide range of prices.

I ended up going with the the MacBook Air M1 new from Walmart for $699. With Apple Care (total around $950 with tax, etc) I don't think of this as a "budget" option in my mind but it was safe.

Best Buy had some refurbished for $599 too which seemed like a great deal!

Solid vid. To anyone thinking of buying a 2015 MBP, just get the i7/16GB/2.8Ghz 15 inch or the 3.1ghz/ i7/16GB 13 inch version respectively. They’re both still fast enough for 90% of most consumers. I’d also recommend getting an OWC Aura x 2 SSD as they’re custom built for MBP and have insane read and write speeds. They also have no issues when in sleep mode compared to the Samsung 970 EVO Plus and 980 SSD’s range. You'll have easy use for the next 2yrs no problem. Maybe even longer if you opt for an OpenCore Legacy patcher if you want to try the latest macOS. Monterey is more than fine and I've stuck with that and still use it myself still. To fix the 'Staingate' screen issue, just use Listerine or baby wipes to get the anti-glare coating off.Prb take about 40-60 mins of wiping if that. Plenty of vids on here for demos…✌️

OCLP(OpenCore Legacy Patcher) is also an option for older macs so dropping support isn't really a concern

Hey man- never been to your channel before. But I never even thought about buying a used one off of Amazon. Just placed my order- can’t wait for it to come in!

I buy the Macbook Pro Silver 2017 16gb 13 inch for only 280 usd and this macbook is very good all working so good!

Thank you for your diligence and research. I found it quite useful for my need .

currently looking for a 2020 m1 - can't find a used 16gb version under 1000€ :/

What do you think of MBP M1 pro chip for around $900?

[theemclane]

Do you consider the M1 macbook air 7 core 8gb($570) to be better that 2019 i7 16gb? ($450)
For Video editing and Graphic design?

[MentorVision]

Under 200$ definitely dont buy macbook air 2015! Go for macbook pro's a1398 or a1502, even 2012 macbook pro without retina with i7 and upgradable ram to 16gb will be better.

[riteshdhungel]

Air m1 with 16 gigs of RAM and m2 base air are around the same price range in the used market. Confused between the 2. Want something I can keep for 4-5 years.

[Wickedroonz]

just got a m1 air for $450 off eBay excellent condition

[dragonhed]

moral of the story is that you only get a good laptop if you have 700 or more dollars :(
