MacBook Pro (2019) 16″ – Intel Core i9 2.3GHz 8‑core CPU – 32GB RAM – SSD 1TB – Silver

Buying the 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch with an Intel processor can be a worthwhile decision if you find a good deal and you want a large screen and strong performance. This model still delivers powerful hardware and solid build quality, making it a good fit for creative work and demanding tasks. But bear in mind that it's an older design with an Intel processor, which means trade-offs: lower energy efficiency, potentially shorter battery life and more limited future software support compared to newer models. If your priority is value and performance now, this could be a great pick. If you are focused on long-term tech and future-proofing, a newer model might be the better choice.

The difference between Apple Silicon and Intel processors mainly comes from their architecture and how they manage energy and performance. Apple Silicon uses ARM based technology and integrates many components into a single chip, resulting in high performance, low power consumption, long battery life and quieter operation. Intel processors rely on x86 architecture and are widely compatible with older or more specialized software. In everyday use Apple Silicon tends to be faster and more efficient, whereas Intel remains a strong choice when maximum software compatibility is important.

The 2019 MacBook Pro 16 inch comes only with an Intel processor because it was released before Apple introduced its Apple Silicon chips. It uses x86 architecture and therefore differs in performance, battery life and efficiency compared with newer M1 based models.

This means that the MacBook has been restored by our partners and has undergone testing, cleaning and any necessary repairs. Some components may be replaced if needed, although we cannot guarantee that every part is an original Apple component or that the device will look brand new. Because it has been refurbished we also cannot confirm that the original water resistance is preserved. A refurbished MacBook is a more affordable and eco-friendly option that still provides a fully functional device.
