Looking to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro for video editing. Need suggestions on what to look for.

Hey Everyone,
I already own a 2012 Mac Pro Desktop. I do some pretty advanced video editing on it, using FCPX and After Effects, with FXFactory and many other plugins.
I need to invest in a MacBook Pro so I can transfer my projects and edit at different locations.
I'm looking for a refurbished or used model to save some money where I can.
My budget is not too large, but I can probably manage $1,000 - $1,500
Can anyone suggest a good model (im guessing 2011-2012) and a good graphics card to look for, so it can handle this type of stuff. I will obviously max out my RAM also.
Thank you so much for all the suggestions in advance!!

Hey BobRzand OGELTHORPE
Thanks for your reply! BobRzJust looking to clarify.. When you said "Also, that's typically not on the 13" models but is on the 15" (or the 17..." were you referring to the onboard graphics memory? Should I stay away from a 13 inch? I'm going to follow OGELTHORP''sadvice and go for the 2011 model. The 13 inch are the most affordable and I've found ones with a 2.8GHz Processor that is right in my price range. Thanks again for your help guys!

    It appears to depend upon the version you will be using:

    Based on what I can tell, you may have to go to the second hand market in order to get a MBP that will run a compatible OSX.

  • I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty?

    I'm looking to buy a new Macbook Pro, and have questions about the Applecare extended warranty? I want to know if the 3 year extended warranty covers what damage. Like water damage, accidental damage, lost or stolen macbook, manufactory defects, or any other kind of damage, maybe be even cosmetic damage. Can anyone help me?

    If you are talking about features of the MBP itself, as long as you are not looking at  the Retina models, then the memory you can upgrade yourself for a lot less than Apple charges, and that does not affect the warranty as Apple considers memory a user permitted upgrade.  Great sources are Crucial and OWC, both are Mac specialists and have on-line videos on how to do the install.
    If the 15" is what you are looking at, a good upgrade is the 7200 rpm hard drive, gives a little better performance over the standard 5400 rpm drive.
    The Hi Res screen is good if you do a lot of graphics work.
    Comparing the 13" amd 15" you will notice the 15" has a second, discrete graphic processor...helps when you get into heavy duty videos, games, graphics...but keep in mind that kicking in the second processor uses a lot of power and will run the battery down faster.
    If you are looking at the Retina models, then keep in mind there are no post-purchase upgrade options...you have to buy with everything you want at the start.
    Just some thoughts.

  • Buying a refurbished MacBook Pro.  Which processor to buy, i5 or i7?

    I thinking of buying a refurbished MacBook Pro 15".  I can't seem to get any knowledgeable answers at the Apple store about the benefits of the i5 vs. i7 processors.  I've been pretty happy with my late 2008 MBP but it's been dropped hard and is on it's way out.  Any opinions about what to buy balancing processor, price, reliability?  I'm a designer and photographer and the video processor is important also.
    Thanks for any help.

  • When is the best time to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro?

    I'm a new college student, and I'm looking to buy a Mac that will last me throughout college, at the best possible price.
    I'm completely fine with purchasing a refurbished model, and right now I can get a large (for Apple, anyway) discount on a refurbished MacBook Pro, 13", 500GB, i5, with 4GB RAM. But I'm not sure if this will be able to suit my needs, or if I should opt for something a bit more expensive, even if that means I should wait.
    I plan on installing Windows 7, with a 25% partition (I'll use Mac for my own personal things, but Windows for some functions).
    I own an iPhone 5 and iPad 3 (WiFi), so I don't plan on taking it with me every day.
    I live in Arizona, so the summer heat can be an issue.
    I plan on using this MacBook Pro for at least 5 years.
    So, I'd like to know:
    Should I buy the AppleCare now, later, or not at all? I want to make sure it's covered in the event of damage or defects:
    Should I wait to buy a refurbished model until after the new MacBook Pros are released later this year?
    Should I opt for an i7 processor, since I plan on dual-booting with Windows 7? Does it make a noticeable difference, compared to the i5?
    Will 500GB be enough space? I feel like it should be more than enough.
    Should I wait until the new MacBook Prod are released, or should I take advantage of the college sale that's being offered?
    Thank you for taking the time to help me out. :)

    That's a perfect computer for your uses, and you won't have any problem. Also, if you need, you can add more RAM (looking at your specs, 16 GB of memory) and a hard drive (HDD or SSD, or even replace the optical drive to put a second HDD). I think it will be useful for 5 years or more.

    It's important to buy AppleCare with a portable Mac. Near everything is soldered and repairs are expensive, so it's better to get it. You can get it at any moment during the first year of warranty, but note that accidental damages will void your warranty.

    There's no need to wait for new MacBooks Pro, more when we don't know when they will be released. I don't think the refurbished MacBook Pro you want will be cheaper then.

    There's a difference between an Intel Core i5 and a i7, but you will only note it if you have special needs, like using heavy apps that require a high CPU load. Most users are not going to use this type of applications. Also, if you need to use this type of apps, the 15-inch MacBook Pro is better.

    For most users, 500 GB are enough and you will have hundreds of free GBs. If you don't have enough space, get an external drive. It's recommended to get one at least to make backups of your files.

    The college sale will expire soon (the Back to School program), so buy it now

  • Looking to buy my first MacBook Pro, advice needed

    Hey all, this is my first post. I am looking to become a MacBook Pro owner for the first time. I have an iphone5 and an ipad but have decided it's time to step up. I have decided to give my ipad to my wife because she likes the more portable device and just uses it for web browsing and Facebook.
    I am looking for opinions, I am currently leaning towards getting the 13" macbook with retina display. I will be using it mainly for Internet browsing. Downloading music and films. Managing them and using iTunes etc. will also be looking to stream what I download to my ps3 if that is possible. I am not a massive user in terms of I do not video editing or music editing professionally but like the idea of iPhoto and iMovie just for playing around and seeing what I can do. Could turn into a new hobby for me.
    I had a windows laptop previously and it became riddled in viruses and slowed down so quickly so will not be getting one of those again. In terms of MacBooks do they generally stand the test of time? It will not be slowing down on me anytime soon will it?
    My main concern is the storage. I feel my best bet is the 256gb hard drive and an external hard drive also.
    Is there anything I need to consider other than what I have mentioned above before buying one having never used a mac before? Does the App Store work the same as on the iphone? Are there any really good apps to get me started?
    All advice welcomed. Thanks

    Depending on your intended use, you may want to max out the RAM to 16GB. This will future proof your Mac to some extent.
    Althouigh your MacBookPro won't slow down over time, OSX RAM requirements may increase with future updates.
    I agree a good backup plan is essential. Time Machine for incremental backups and a cloning strategy with an offisite rotation is ideal.
    You may want to consider storing Music/Video on your network, either a NAS device or USB drive attached to a router. A future purchase could be a MacMini as a Server.
    As for applications, the usual office apps are available in Mac versions (MS Office being the one that comes to mind). I would start with the Apple programs and then, if you need others, come back here or search the web for reviews.
    Lastly, consider whether you need to run Windows either in Bootcamp (dual boot configuration) or as a virtual machine. For example, you may have Windows software that is not available on the Mac.
    Good luck and enjoy your new Mac.

  • If I buy a refurbished macbook pro in the US and bring it to India, will I get the same Apple support in terms of repair, warranty or returns here too if anything goes wrong?

    I live in India and I'm about to order a refurb macbook pro to be brought in here by my friend.
    I'll be ordering a genuine one from the US apple store and not from any third party vendor.
    If I find anything wrong with the device, which is quite unlikely to happen from the reviews i read, what'll be the follow up procedure for the same?

    Hi,
    Check out this site for Apple's warranty coverage. Apple - Support - Search

  • Refurbished macbook pro 15"

    I had an old windows xp pro laptop that broke and am looking to buy a refurbished macbook pro 15" retina display. Since apple did not release any new MBP at the WWDC june 10 2013 are there any chances that the price on this one is going to drop any more (by significant amount)? right now its at $1599 (originally released june 2012).
    Also is it a good idea to buy the apple care plan for refurbished ones? I am looking for some answers from experienced users of refurbished macbook pro owners.
    Also what other accessories would you guys recommend to buy.
    thanks

    We cannot speculate on how Apple might change the price. As to AppleCare, I would say it is worth it whether it is new or refurbished, but refurbished products are of the same quality as new.

  • Refurbished macbook pro UK - OS?

    I am looking to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro 13" from the UK site, but I am waiting until they come with Lion preinstalled as I had major problems after installing Lion on my current Mac. I am looking at one at the moment but intead of specifying, the blurb just says OS X. I presume this means Snow Leapard (This machine was previously listed as coming with Snow Leopard).
    Hmm - why are they doing that?
    Are people put off buying knowing they will have to install Lion themselves with the reported problems, such as reduction in battery life which I have suffered?
    Or is this some sort of recognition by Apple tha there is a problem?
    What I am questioning is why they have seen the need to change the way in which the product is described.

    You may need to reset your administrator password:
    Resetting User Password in Lion and Mountain Lion
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,

  • Refurbished Macbook Pro Hypthetical Question on Price *HELP!

    I am looking  into buying the refurbished macbook pro 13" 4gb memory with Lion OSX that goes for $957.00. However, would it be wise for me to wait another month (hypothetically if a new Macbook pro came out) do you think the price of the refurbished machines would lower again?
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Really, don't play the game of "wait until the next thing comes out." There is always something newer and better around the corner. Buy a computer when you need it.
    Apple has not announced any new machines coming out. If and when it happens, there may or may not be a price change on refurbs. That's pretty much the best answer you'll get here.
    Best of luck.

  • Need help about refurbished MacBook Pro 15" 2012 vs 2013

    Hello All,
    I'm planning to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro since I'm tight with budget. This would be my first mac machine ever. So I was hoping if someone can shed some opinion on which one should I go for. But first, I will be using the MacBook for basic photoshop, Office documents (Word, Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint), internet, and maybe (just maybe) if I have time from my busy work, I could try to learn in movie editing (just for fun). So anyway, I found 2 refurbished 15" MacBook Pro that fits my budget and seems like they're quite similar (2012 and 2013). The 2013 is only $20 more.
    1) Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display - $1,469.00
    Originally released June 2012
    15.4-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2880-by-1800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch
    8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    256GB Flash Storage
    720p FaceTime HD Camera
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M with 1GB of GDDR5 memory
    2) Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.0GHz Quad-core Intel i7 with Retina Display - $1,489.00
    Originally released October 2013
    15.4-inch (diagonal) Retina display; 2880-by-1800 resolution at 220 pixels per inch
    8GB of 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
    256GB Flash Storage1
    720p FaceTime HD camera
    Intel Iris Pro Graphics
    So it looks like the difference between the two is obviously the CPU, the 2012 having an extra GPU, and the 2013 uses the Thunderbolt 2 as far as I know. And I'm not sure if the SSD on the 2012 is SATA as oppose to the 2013 it's PCIe? Base from what I explained above on how will I'll be using the MacBook for, is the 2012 best fit for my needs or is the 2013 a better one?
    Thanks all. Please remember I don't have any experience with Macs at all. So I'm hoping someone can help me a little bit. Thanks again.
    - Eddie

    PS: side-by-side specs, graphics and drive data rates,
    the newer of the two may be the better one to get, as
    it has later Thunderbolt  with higher capacities, too.
    Look into mactracker or other specification chart that
    can be opened beside each other (as I have now) &
    then you can see sections in each model, one at a
    time. MacTracker shows general-software-memory+
    graphics-connections-history by category.
    2013 model Thunderbolt, Hard Drive Interface, graphics
    spec all look good. Not sure if the history of graphic issue
    in the dual-graphic card model 2012, was overcome or not.
    However this may require some research...
    If yours is one that shipped with Mavericks OS X 10.9
    you may do well to get a copy of the installer on a
    USB and dedicate it as a backup or set up a second
    drive or other device to safe a download of the installer
    and/or a copy-clone of the Mavericks. The limited total
    of RAM available may not be a problem, with both units
    shipping with an SSD and not a rotational HDD. And if
    you like (& if yours has OS X 10.9) you could then use
    OS X 10.10 too.  Be careful an 'upgrade' isn't done to
    an older system by accident; surprises aren't so nice.
    With either choice, be sure to get & make suitable backup
    of your files in addition to a device to use Time Machine.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Refurbished MacBook Pro Stock

    I want to buy a refurbished MacBook Pro, but it's currently out of stock and not available to ship.  It's available to pick up in store, but the store is an hour away.  Will the item ever come back in stock so that it's available to ship? Thanks!

    Only Apple knows this. Refurbished MacBooks are repaired MacBooks that were damaged and that have got the same warranty as a new MacBook.
    As we don't know if Apple will receive more refurbished MacBooks with the configuration you want for it, I recommend you to pick up the MacBook at an Apple Store even if it's an hour away. It's probably the only option you have to get this MacBook

  • Do the refurbished MacBook Pros come with replaced keyboards?

    I was wondering about buying a refurbished MacBook Pro 15" as opposed to a brand new one, due to the high prices. However, I was wondering if Apple replaces things such as the keyboard and the trackpad while refurbishing it. I tend to hate the shiny keyboards that have a buildup of finger oil and dirt, and so when they say they

    It will be all cleaned up, but there could be some cosmetic issues such as slightly worn/shiny keys as long as it doesn't effect operation.  But, the crud and finger oil will be gone.  My son purchased a refurbished iMac, and it looked like new (keyboard, mouse and all).
    Apple has a web page that describes what refurbushed means.  Take a look there before you buy.  But, you get a full warranty just like a new computer and can get Applecare added.  You also save some money.

Maybe you are looking for
