    Which MacBook Pro is best for gaming?
     
  1. The best used MacBook Pro to buy depends on your budget and needs. If you have a limited budget, a 2014 or 2015 MacBook Pro is recommended1. If you have a higher budget, a 2020 or 2021 machine with Apple's renewed M1 chipset is recommended1. The best used MacBook Pro models are Mid 2013 (i7-4650U @ 1.7 GHz) for the 13 inch MacBook Air, Mid 2012 (i7-3667U @ 2.0 GHz) for the 11 inch MacBook Air, Early 2015 (i7-5557U @ 3.1 GHz) for the 13 inch MacBook Pro, and Mid 2014 (i7-4980HQ @ 2.8 GHz) for the 15 inch MacBook Pro2. You can buy refurbished MacBooks from Apple, OWC, Mac of all trades, Amazon, and Best Buy34.

    Depending on your budget, I'd recommend a 2014 or 2015 MacBook Pro or -- if you have the budget -- a 2020 or 2021 machine with Apple's renewed M1 chipset. As mentioned, the older machines are Intel-based and will become more and more obsolete. But that also means they're getting cheaper.
