Why a Mac for €500 instead of a new laptop?
For the same amount, you often buy a plastic Windows laptop in a store that becomes slow after 2 years. A refurbished MacBook is made of aluminum, has a fantastic trackpad, and lasts for years. You are buying "yesterday's top class" which is still better than "today's budget class". Moreover, it is the most sustainable choice: by reusing, you save e-waste.
