local apple authorised sp gave me quote of €220 new one, wasn't clear on how long take. i'm college student, can't afford without laptop long.


i've started considering getting new one. options are:

  • refurbished 2014 macbook pro retina 15' i7 2,2ghz/16gb/256 ssd €1,687
  • refurbished 2014 macbook pro retina 15' i7 2 ghz/8gb/256 ssd €1,097
  • new 2017 macbook pro 13" i5 3.1ghz 8gb 256gb w/ touch bar €1,759
  • refurbished 2017 macbook pro 13" i5 3.1ghz 8gb 256gb w/ touch bar €1,699
my degree requires use photoshop , illustrator quite often, in addition premiere pro, after effects, audition, etc... of suite. understand cs6 doesn't work new os x, , can't afford creative cloud absurd annual fee.


considering this, should pay new battery or new one? if so, of options meet requirements best?

thanks!
 

there quality 3rd party batteries cheaper , can replaced easy in 2012 model.

if machines works , want/need keep , save new 1 @ later date if cost problem.
me, want 2012 , gotta stick 2010 can afford.
