Looking for a powerful, affordable second computer? This grade-A refurbished 2019 MacBook Pro might be the one for you, and it’s available for only $449.99. Whether you need it for work, personal use or entertainment, it delivers much of the performance and style of Apple’s premium laptops — at a fraction of the price.
Refurbished 2019 MacBook Pro (8GB RAM, 256GB SSD and Touch Bar)
Let’s be honest: A lot has changed with the MacBook Pro since 2019, when this refurbished model came out. Apple moved its pro laptops to the new M1 chip in 2020. A year later, the company released a completely redesigned MacBook Pro, powered by M1 Pro and M1 Max processors, with an HDMI port, an SD card slot and the return of MagSafe charging. However, those portable bruisers started at $1,999.
With the 2021 update, Apple also killed the Touch Bar, a customizable LED strip that sat above the MacBook Pro’s keyboard in place of traditional function keys. If you like the Touch Bar, this refurbished 2019 MacBook Pro lets you go to town. (And if you never tried it, here’s your chance.)
As far as specs go, the gorgeous aluminum laptop runs on a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5 processor, with 8GB of RAM and a fast 256GB SSD. If you want, you can bump up the processor speed, RAM and storage. No matter which model you choose, it can handle multitasking, creative projects and everyday tasks. (Note: It definitely cannot handle Apple Intelligence, the upcoming suite of AI features coming to Macs with M-series chips.)
A Touch Bar, plenty of Thunderbolt 3 ports and a Retina display
The refurbished 2019 MacBook Pro boasts a 13.3-inch Retina display with True Tone technology, giving you beautiful, vibrant visuals that automatically adjust to your environment’s lighting. With 2,560-by-1,600 resolution and wide color (P3) support, images, videos and webpages look sharp and true to life.
The Touch Bar, while a controversial feature, gives you dynamic, customizable controls at your fingertips.
The laptop features four Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports. These ports provide incredible versatility — you can use them for charging, data transfer, connecting to external displays and more. Each Thunderbolt 3 port supports DisplayPort, USB 3.1 Gen 2 (with speeds up to 10Gb/s), and Thunderbolt (up to 40Gb/s), giving you lightning-fast connections and unparalleled flexibility.
You’ll be able to connect your MacBook to an external display. And the Thunderbolt 3 digital video output natively supports DisplayPort over USB-C and can connect to VGA, HDMI, DVI and Thunderbolt 2 displays with the right adapters (not included). Whether setting up a home office with multiple monitors or connecting your MacBook Pro to a TV for movie nights, the Thunderbolt 3 ports are good to have.
This refurbished 2019 MacBook Pro is also practical. The Force Touch trackpad allows precise cursor control and pressure-sensitive gestures. And the full-size backlit keyboard offers comfortable typing even in low light. With up to 10 hours of battery life, you can work or play all day without recharging.
