I didn't have a lot of money to spend on a Macbook pro. The new m1 macs were new and didn't have a lot of compatibility with the apps and programs I need to use, so that wasn't in the picture. When looking for a mac around the same price range I found this renewed Macbook Pro from the same year, 2020, with pretty good specs. I was skeptical about buying a renewed product but it was completely worth it! I felt like it wasn't going to come in the original box and have some scratches, as well as the battery cycles, being high but it was basically brand new, it had around 30 battery cycles, had no scratches, and came in the original box. On the Apple website, I found the same model for 1799$ new, I got this renewed model for 1150$ and it was basically brand new. Best Purchase.
