The MacBook Pro: History and Technical Information
The MacBook Pro is widely seen as Apple’s high-end option when it comes to laptops. It was launched in 2006 alongside the first versions of the MacBook and the MacBook Air. In the years since then, Apple has continued to develop the laptop’s offerings. Today, it’s one of the most powerful laptop computers on the market that can consistently compete with desktop models.
Let’s compare the features of the first generation from 2006-2008 to the fourth generation of 2016-2020:
|

It’s clear to see the leaps and bounds that apple has taken in recent years. But, the existence of new models doesn’t mean that the old models are defunct. Each version of the MacBook was created with the leading technology of the time.
That’s where refurbished models enter the picture. With a professional refurbishment, second-hand laptops can be restored to their former performance levels. And customers can get all the quality of a MacBook Pro for just a slither of the price when new.

New vs Refurbished MacBook Pros
Choosing a refurbished MacBook Pro, as opposed to a new one, can save you hundreds of pounds – without compromising on quality. In fact, even new MacBook Pros can come across problems. But, a refurbished model guarantees that a professional technician has tested, fixed, and checked any pre-existing performance issues.
Another perk of buying a refurbished MacBook Pro - is that it’s a more eco-friendly choice. Reusing and recycling reduces e-waste, so if you’re trying to be more environmentally conscious – buying second-hand computers is a great way to do this.
The differences between a second-hand and a refurbished MacBook Pro
Any pre-owned MacBook Pro counts as second-hand. In order to be classed as refurbished, it must have been thoroughly cleaned and tested, to diagnose any issues, so that these can be fixed as part of the refurbishment process. So, refurbished MacBook Pros are more reliable than the average second-hand laptop.
All of Tech Trade’s refurbished MacBook Pros are sold in perfect working order, with the same functionality as a new model. Additionally, we include a warranty with our hard disk drives. They’re all factory refurbished to extremely high standards. Each unit is erased, reset, and recertified following several hours of extensive testing.
Which MacBook Pro is right for you?
When it comes to choosing a MacBook Pro - there are several factors to consider. All MacBook Pros come with adequate RAM capabilities and large amounts of hard drive storage. Other elements you can consider are if you want a crystal clear pro retina display – or an extra sleek user feature like a touch bar. The newest model of MacBook Pro, also features Apple’s own M1 or M2 core processor, as opposed to the Intel Core processor that features in earlier models.
If you think you would prefer a more lightweight laptop, you can also consider the MacBook Air, which we also stock a wide range of. Or, for a full desktop set-up, check out our range of iMac products.
