Yes.

What was the question?

The MacBook Air doesn't come in 15." The MacBook Pro has several options. Buy the most you can afford. End of recommendation.

Need more info... What do you need to do? What is the budget?

You can spend $1100 to $10,000, depending on configuration. The good news is, the new low end models are quite a bit more powerful than last year’s models.

It may seem like a thing of the past, but using a desktop model of computer is still a popular choice for offices that require a large amount of the same system or business centers and conference rooms where people may be doing work for long periods of time. Also, there are people who like this ability at home as well: to have a dedicated spot to sit and complete any work or tasks that need to get completed. If you want to have a dedicated work space at home where you can get some things done with some privacy or without distractions, your best bet may be to look into a used iMac.

With Mac of All Trades, you can get some of the best Apple products for a great price and still get superb performance and quality. There are several benefits to a used iMac that can make this decision that much easier. Today, we will look at these reasons as you consider your decision.

Simple Setup - When you think of desktop computers, you may think of bulky monitors, power sources, and all sorts of parts that help it function. An iMac is very different. The monitors are very thin and easy to move, and the body of the monitor contains everything you need for the computer to function; even the USB and other ports are built into the body. It makes getting everything connected and starting to use your computer quick and easy.

Larger Display - You can do a lot of things on the go with an Apple MacBook, and those devices come with perfectly capable screens. That said, you can get Apple iMacs with even larger screens that show muchmore detail. A 21.5-inch or larger iMac can be perfect for tasks requiring intensive graphics processing, like graphic design. The large screen can also be great for gaming and entertainment. Being able to see the fine details and getting the best display on the market is a great feature you can get from a used iMac.

Built-in Virus Protection - One of the best features of Apple computers is their proprietary security features that arebuilt into Apple’s operating system. No computer is completely invulnerable to viruses, but rather than install a bunch of third-party virus protection programsthat can slow your computer down, you can go full speed ahead with your iMac and not worry about adding additional virus protection software. Apple puts a lot of emphasis on security and keeping your files and data safe so you can just enjoy the features of your computer.

When you want to find a used iMac for your home that is at a great price and offers all of the great features that you get when you shop new, choose a place that ensures you are getting a quality product. Choose Mac of All Trades and get products that you will use for years to come.Use Mac of All Trades’ expert team to get an understanding for which product is best for you and purchase the perfect used iMac for you today.

I'll be following this as I've got a 2013 15" MacBook Pro that may need to be replaced soon. I bought this as a refurb and intend to do the same in the future.

Are you going to use the computer for processing? Having just switched to a desktop tower and 27" monitor plus a dedicated desk for post-processing, I strongly suggest at least a larger monitor for post work, even if it is an extra addition to your new laptop monitor. My 15" laptop monitor is OK, but the new larger monitor makes the processing results much easier to work with - like having a large print to view instead of an 8x10.

I agree with Blue Morel. If you’re looking for a computer strictly for processing photos, invest in a a 27” iMac desktop. They’re not cheap, but for editing photos with a Mac, you just can’t beat it. You can get one with 256 gig of ram and a terrabyte hard drive or SSD. You should also be able to add RAM, whereas with the MacBook Pros you can’t. You can also spend a great deal of money on the MacBook Pro, but I think, for the same price or similar, the iMac is a better deal, and your eyes will appreciate it more. Just be prepared to spend close to $3K for one, though.

I agree BUT consider getting the 32 gigs of RAM just because there is NO future upgrade option.

Right, only the iMacs and Mac Mini’s can be upgraded, as far as I know.

I got really lucky and got the 2015 version of that model for $400 - everything was maxed for the model year! The guy bought it through a payroll deduction deal and didn't pay attention to what his total price was, after I paid him he said "Now that we're done, did I charge enough?"

I use an iMac and would not recommend it. It’s wonderful until there is a problem and you have to transport it , eg for repair. Get a laptop, eg MacBook, and a large quality external screen. All the benefits of the iMac with the portability of the laptop.
