thinking of buying a refurbished laptop, is it powerful enough?
I'm planning to record videos in full 1080p HD at 60fps -> is that possible on something like this?
If generated-video file sizes are very large that smallish SSD may not do at all.
Once you get MacBook/Pro ~ you'd likely need to upgrade the storage SSD
and also the macOS; at least to High Sierra 10.13.6, maybe Mojave 10.14.6.
Figure later macOS and its APFS 'partition usage' hides actual free space; as
the specs in the ad says there is under 300GB storage, that includes where
macOS and applications have to run. ~ And you'd not get to use full 256GB.
I've a seldom used MacBook Pro 13-inch non-retina with 240GB SSD & 16GB
RAM update, and it seems about half full with only system + included apps.
This one has macOS Mojave 10.14.6, and no saved personal content yet.
You may be able to get an external SSD in powered enclosure, & fast cables.
And have a newer upgrade for the Mac system be run from there.
A 'mac-centric' reseller may be a wise choice; hard to tell how that'd be in Oz.
A good guarantee (a few months+) & better specs you'd need for practical use.
