Which Macbook should I get?

Which Macbook do you recommend for a college student? I prefer a screen that isn't super small, I think the 13 inch ones are good so it can still travel easy, but I just need help choosing between an Air or a Pro. And if I should get a refurbished one or not. The only thing I worry about it being able to download the newest software on a refurbished. I use Adobe apps a lot for personal use so I want the laptop to be able to support it sufficiently.

I enjoy the perk of trading in my laptop when I am ready to upgrade which is why I prefer getting an Apple (as well with the lay out of the software).

I would appreciate any help choosing!

Hi,

Depends what you're using it for. If you're just browsing the web, watching videos, using word/pages and doing some light photo editing then the Air is an excellent choice.

If however, you are using "Pro" applications which require more processing power, then the Pro is the better choice.

The refurbished models are good if you are looking to save some money. Refurbished Macs can still download the latest software, provided they are compatible.

Take a look at this link to see a comparison between Macs.

Hope this helps!

Glad I could help! Also, can I add that the Pro's got a refresh last week which added a quad core CPU and the Touch Bar as standard on the base model. I forgot to mention that in my original post. I don't think these models would be available in the refurbished shop yet.
