When first-hand is just too expensive.
Refurbished Mac Pro 3.2GHz 16-core Intel Xeon W, Two Radeon Pro Vega II Duo, Apple Afterburner $22,439.00 Refurbished Mac Pro 2.5GHz 28-core Intel Xeon W, Two Radeon Pro Vega II. Firstly to let you know I am a mac dummy/newbie and I'm hoping to get some advice on a 2nd hand mac I purchased on ebay (while I wait the 3 weeks for my appointment at my local Genius Bar.) 20inch (Mid 2007) - From googling I think it shipped with Tiger os? I can't seem to load/reinstall the operating system. I also snatched an old Mac OS 9 retail CD (unfortunately without the box) for mere $10 at a local store dealing in computer repairs and second hand hardware. Having both OS X Tiger and Mac OS 9 I felt I’m being covered in terms of my iMac G4. As it turned out, the Mac OS 9 (9.2.1) retail disk is basically too old for the iMac G4. A secondhand Mac can feel as new. (via Shutterstock) While physical appearance and hardware is where you should start, they are only part of a larger equation when you buy a used Mac. Beforeacquiring a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable. The first thing to do afteracquiring the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that.

Macbooks, built by Apple are sturdy machines, whether they run the Intel core 2 duo, or the newer i5 and i7 chips. They are fast machines, built with the elegance and aesthetics that are the trademarks of Apple design.
The Macbook uses Apple specific software for a more reliable and user friendly experience, such as their trademark OS - Lion and other great programs like iTunes. They can also run Bootcamp in case you need to load up Windows (Vista, XP, or Windows 7) to run software.

Used Mac Computer vs Refurbished Mac Computer
Second Hand Mac Books
In general, refurbished Mac computers are a better deal but there are fewer on the market at any one time. That is because refurbished products can only come onto the market when newer offerings become available. Both refurbished and used Macs for sale come with warranties, however, they are always shorter than those you would receive when purchasing a brand-new computer.
