10 Laptops That Are Worth Buying Used

4. Apple MacBook Pro

Need more power than the Air can give? A used MacBook Pro is your answer. The newer ones with M1 Pro or M2 chips offer fantastic CPU and GPU performance — perfect for creative pros, developers, or anyone running heavy apps.

They also have brighter 120Hz displays, better thermal systems (fans included), more ports (hello, SD card reader and HDMI!), and come in 14" and 16" options. A 14-inch M1 Pro MacBook Pro, for example, costs way less than a new M4 Air — but runs circles around it in performance. For heavy-duty tasks or future-proofing, the MacBook Pro is worth the splurge.
