Apple MacBooks really do stand out in the laptop crowd. Apart from looking fabulous, they are fast, reliable and they last the test of time. As a result, they tend to come with a premium price to match, but this really is one of those cases where you get what you pay for.
Buying a refurbished MacBook from TechStar is an excellent compromise that gives you all the benefits of the features and capabilities of a MacBook, at an affordable cost, with 100% support and 12-month warranty included. The only decision left is which one to buy!
Before making your decision about what Apple MacBook model to buy, first ask yourself what you plan to use it for.
If you’re looking for a reliable MacBook for creating documents and excel worksheets, doing some online research for college and maybe some online shopping, you could opt for an older style MacBook available for as little as €599. Even 2012 models are equipped with a powerful Intel i5 processor and SSD (solid state hard disk) which is more than enough power and storage for your needs.
TechStar Recommends: Models A1278 or A1425 MacBook Pro 13”, A1286 MacBook Pro 15” or a selection of the A1466 MacBook Air 13”. All compatible with MS Office 2016 and 2019.
Don’t forget to ask a TechStar team member for a compatible MS Office package to work with your new (refurbished) MacBook for simple and convenient document creation.
Buy Kaspersky Internet Security for anti-virus protection. External mice and protection sleeves also available.
Perhaps you need a MacBook with a little more umph for more advanced work like coding or programming, creating complicated graphs, excel macros and formulas. If you’re on a budget, you could opt for one of the MacBook Retina models from 2015 onwards.
These MacBooks come with a crisp sharp screen, strong i5 and i7 Intel processors, 4GB or 8GB RAM with the latest fast SSD drives from 128GB to 512GB – all more than enough power to handle medium to advanced projects.
