I’m looking to buy my first Mac for working on the go. And I found a used 14in M1 Max for $1100 on FB marketplace with 32gb ram and 1tb storage.
Seems like a great deal except for the fact that the battery health is at 89%. So I’d probably have to replace the battery for $250.
Is it worth the altogether price of $1350?
Or would it be better to just go with a lower level second hand M2 pro around that price?
My workload I do accounting and bookkeeping so most of my work is done in chrome, excel, and on meetings. I’d like to dock the laptop to two 1440p screens when I’m not traveling.
I would not do it. Especially if it has heavy prior use. If you need a good reliable machine for work on the go I think your best option is to get a new machine. You may be buying a headache with the other one.
