We’ve talked a lot about Apple Silicon over the past weeks, but today we’ll take a step back and look at the low end of the used Mac spectrum. Today I’ll go over the 4 best Macs that you can buy for under $200; what makes them a good buy, what upgrades can you do, and whether a $200 used Mac is a good value!

And to top it off , provided you can get your hands on one that hasn't been beat all to hell, these things still look stunning. They are a point in time where the look of middle 2000's Mac meets the unibody design of the early 2010's silver unibody MacBooks.

Philippines. It's more like $50 shipping plus an import charge of $30-50. Really spoils the good prices for me

My early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" is still running good 10 years later! Upgraded the ram 16gb and a 250gb ssd runs like a dream. Used it all the way through college and university and still today true work horse
