WHAT DO YOU look for in a Mac? Do you want a powerful computer that can handle multiple 8K video feeds, or are you after a more basic device for web surfing and email? Does it need to be portable or are you happy to leave it on your desk? Is money no object or do you have to watch what you spend? Or maybe you're looking for customization options when buying a Mac from the Apple Store? In this feature, we'll explore the wide range of choices available to you, according to your needs and budget. There's a Mac for (almost) every pocket. We also recommend some essential add-ons, accessories and apps you can buy for your new Mac to help you make the most of it.
But before you go ahead and buy a new Mac, bear in mind the other options. The Apple Refurbished Store (https://bit.ly/3t1j3RT) sells refurbished Macs and other Apple products, often at a decent discount. These have been thoroughly tested and are backed by a one-year warranty. They may have minor cosmetic defects, but they're as good as new. You could also consider buying a secondhand Mac: there's plenty to choose from on eBay, Facebook Marketplace and local computer retailers. If you have a limited budget but don't need to run the latest version of macOS, a used Mac laptop could be a great choice. So, from a top-tier Mac for power computing to an affordable Apple machine for hobbies, let's take a look at what's available..
