Question Suggestions for a used/refurbished MacBook under £550/$700

[loxon76]

I’m looking to pick up a used or refurbished MacBook with a larger screen size, preferably 15” or 16”, for university. I got an offer for the 2019 MBP 16” with an i9 chip, Radeon 5500M graphics and 32 gigs of ram with 1 terabyte of storage for around £525/ $680 but I found a 2023 MacBook Air 15” M2 with 8 gigs of ram and 256gb of storage which was around £630/$820. Is the 15” M2 better over the 16” i9 or would there be other options?

This depends entirely on what is available, in your used market, at your desired price.
Options can change daily, even hourly.

Buy the best one you see, at your price point, when it is available.
