MacBook Pro (2017) 13″ – Intel Core i5 2.3GHz 2‑core CPU – 8GB RAM – SSD 512GB – Silver

A MacBook Pro 13″ from 2017 with an Intel processor can still be a good choice if what you need is a reliable laptop for everyday use. The build quality is solid, the Retina display looks excellent and the device handles typical tasks like browsing, office work and light creative use without problems. It is important to remember that it is an older machine and cannot match newer models in performance, battery life or efficiency. If your needs are basic or moderate it remains a sensible option. If you expect top performance or long-term system support a newer model will suit you better.

The main difference between Apple Silicon and Intel processors comes from their architecture and efficiency. Apple Silicon uses ARM technology, allowing it to deliver strong performance while consuming very little power, which results in faster operation, quieter cooling and noticeably longer battery life. Intel processors rely on the x86 architecture, which has been a long-standing standard but typically requires more energy and runs hotter. In everyday use Apple Silicon generally feels quicker and more efficient, while Intel remains compatible with older software and certain specialized workflows.

The MacBook Pro 13″ from 2017 comes only with Intel processors, as it was released before Apple introduced its Apple Silicon chips. This means it does not include an M1 processor and relies entirely on Intel architecture.

A refurbished MacBook is a device that has been previously used and then brought back to a fully working condition through a professional renewal process carried out by our partners. Each unit is cleaned, tested and checked to ensure that it works properly and feels comfortable to use. It is important to remember that the device may show slight signs of earlier use, might not include only original parts and its original water resistance cannot be guaranteed. A refurbished MacBook is a way to get solid quality for a lower price while also reducing electronic waste.
