We work with professional refurbishers to ensure that your used MacBook Pro will be just as flawless as a new one. It doesn’t get any better than that-unless it’s a refurbished MacBook Pro from Back Market, of course! At Back Market, we've made it our mission to give you used and refurbished MacBooks that have the same great quality as new units coming directly from Apple while costing you a whole lot less. It’s also possible that Apple will give the MacBook Air a Retina Display sometime in the next year or two – though that's entirely speculation at this point.Why a used & refurbished MacBook Pro is the perfect budget laptopĮver since it first hit the shelves, the MacBook Pro has been a favorite of many due to its stellar performance, build quality, and reliability. If you aren’t in a rush to buy a MacBook, though, it might be worth waiting for the (lower-powered) Haswell upgrades to both of these machines. Your decision, then, may come down to whether that ultra-sharp screen is worth an extra $300 (and slightly more heft). The MacBook Pro with Retina Display is the more powerful computer, but the MacBook Air packs plenty of punch for most regular consumer use.

Both computers cost a pretty penny, though, so you’ll want to closely examine your needs before throwing down for one of them. Wrap-upĪpple markets the MacBook Pro to professionals, while the Air is the company’s consumer-level laptop.

The 256 GB version of the Air will set you back $1,400. The higher-end 13-inch Retina MBP (with 256 GB of storage and a 2.6 GHz processor) costs $1,700. The Retina Pro’s price drop has it starting at only US$300 more than its skinnier compatriot. The Air is cheaper, but not by as much as it used to be.
