The Eurovision Song Contest, the Grand Prix in Zandvoort, the European Football Championship: 2020 promises to be a great year for the Netherlands. We have good news: not just for the Netherlands, but for you too! Because these are the best refurbished MacBooks, iPhones and iPads for 2020 with which you are guaranteed to have a productive and fun year!
The best MacBook for work
What is the best refurbished MacBook for your work? That depends, of course. If you work with heavy graphics or when you have to perform heavy calculations, then a refurbished MacBook Pro Retina with a powerful processor, solid video card and high-resolution display is a must. The same goes for an iMac with an i7 processor , but note that an iMac is not made to be taken with you.
Most people need a laptop primarily for word processing, emailing, surfing and lighter applications such as an email client, Skype, Spotify, Evernote and Slack. In that case, the somewhat lighter MacBook Air or a somewhat older MacBook Pro such as the MacBook Pro 13" i5 2.5 will suffice.
Which MacBook do you choose as a student or pupil?
A (refurbished) MacBook Pro has better specs than a MacBook Air , but you also pay a lot more for it. That raises the question: which MacBook should you take as a student or pupil to be able to end 2020 with first-class grades?
The same applies here: most students and pupils will mainly use their MacBook for word processing, e-mailing, surfing and lighter applications. In that case, a MacBook Air is the best choice. The price is significantly lower than that of a MacBook Pro, while the extra horsepower and premium functionalities of a Pro are not necessary for most students and pupils. Do you need to run heavy applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign or Final Cut Pro for school or your studies? In that case, a MacBook Pro is recommended.
If you are not unfamiliar with study avoidance behavior and you enjoy a game of gaming, pay close attention to what we write below about entertainment.
Apple devices for entertainment
In 2020 you will of course be going all out, but the bow can't always be tense. Time for a game! With a MacBook Air you can easily handle lighter downloadable games and all browser games. With a newer MacBook Pro , especially if - it has a fast i7 processor and a good video card - you can also play newer games with heavy graphics.
Relaxing by binge watching something can be done perfectly at home on the couch or on the go with a refurbished iPad . With an iPad Mini you have a slightly smaller screen, but you can be sure that it will always fit in your bag.
