Looking at “Very Good” refurbished Macs and wondering what the consensus is on the following.
Option 1: 15" Mid 2015 Macbook Pro Retina - i7-4980 with dual graphics, 16GB RAM, and 512GB Storage. They are going for $400-450 or so.
Option 2: 13" 2020 M1 Macbook Air - M1 with 16GB RAM and 512GB Storage. They are going for $850-1100 or so.
Option 3: Open to other ideas.
Use Case: School and general daily use. Some Photo and Video Editing as well as digital art for school (ports on the 2015 MBP are nice). As well as email, general web browsing, remote classes, paperwork, etc.
