Hi everyone hope your all well.
Last week my laptop died after only a few months so I sent it back for a refund. I have always had windows laptops/computers In the past but now would like a Mac.
In short the prices of them are huge but I have seen a few on the Groupon App that are reconditioned and what looks like ones that have been in offices that have been restored.
Just would like a bit of input as to weather to buy one of the previous models for around £700 or go for a new one at around £1400.
Thanks in advance
Rob

I would only buy reconditioned Apple kit from Apple.
From anyone else all the have done is cleaned it and put a fresh OS on it.0 -
Ah ok. The ones on their reconditioned Apple Store are still huge prices so maybe I should look at a entry level one ish as I'm not 100% what all of the figures mean and what to look for when it come to Ghz's & processors etc.0

For £700 you can by a very good, brand new Windows based laptop.Science isn't exact, it's only confidence within limits.0
