buying a refurbished MacBook Pro

I have a macbook pro from 2012. I want to get a refurbished unit that is newer, but still uses the same power supply. Do you have a recommendations?

Any Certified Refurbished MBPro from Apple will come with its own power supply.

There is no guarantee you could use the power supply from a 2012 MBPro with newer models. Late models have USB-C ports, not the old Magsafe power port, and they may also require a higher wattage power supply than your 2012.
