Have you considered a refurbished one? Significantly cheaper.

Hi Gwyneth 🌿

Yes, I did consider that —thank you for mentioning it.

The computer I’m replacing was a 15-inch MacBook Pro that lasted me ten years and handled quite heavy work: video editing, audio recording, all the writing, everything.

What I actually need is something that can handle that same level of work —similar to a gaming laptop in terms of power. The amount I mentioned (around €1,500) is a gross estimate, since I also have to pay taxes on any income I receive here in Belgium.

Realistically, I’m hoping to find something in the €700–1,000 range that can do the job well.

So yes, I’m definitely looking into refurbished or lighter options —just making sure it’s powerful enough to keep creating without crashing every few minutes.

Thank you so much for caring and asking 🕯️ it really means a lot.

Also, consider an additional external hard drive.
