Buying call

Buy the 2024 16-inch MacBook Pro used or refurbished if you want a big, bright pro screen with huge battery: one review measured 25 hours 52 minutes of video playback, and it adds Thunderbolt 5 and an optional nano-texture display. Skip it if you want new, because Apple now sells the M5 Pro model, and reviewers saw only a minor speed boost over M3 models. It has no Face ID, awkward vent placement and costly upgrades.
