I'm a first time Apple user, which laptop is best for me?

As a first-time Apple user, it can be daunting to try and figure out which laptop is best for you. You will need some time to get used to the Apple interface, but fear not! It is very intuitive and you will soon whizz through your Apple computer with the ease of an all-time Apple fan.

Choosing the right Apple computer entails the same process as preparing for any big electronic purchase.

1. Identify your needs

Identifying your needs is crucial to understand which specs to focus on. Do you need a big screen, a fast processor, lots of memory...? That depends on the use you intend to make of your Apple laptop.

2. Set your budget

Once you know a bit more about what you are looking for, think about how much money you are willing to invest in your laptop. Although new MacBooks are very expensive, bear in mind that you can get some excellent deals on refurbished products (20 to 50% off the retail price). Refurbished products work just as well as brand-new laptops.

3. Compare

RefurbMe is a comparator website. We gather all the refurbished Apple laptops out there for you to see and compare—you can even set an alarm for a price drop if your dream refurb is just out of budget. On RefurbMe, you can filter the results according to lots of different specs; year of release, processor type, memory, screen size, and more. Compare away!
