Apple

Is it worth buying a refurbished MacBook Pro rn? I’m considering buying the MacBook Pro M2 one cuz they’re not available anymore on apple’s website (brand new MacBook Pro). The refurbished one would be 500$ cheaper than a brand new one (as of Oct. 2023). My question here is if it’s still worth buying it or not cuz the probability that I’ll get now a used one/ I’ll get a Mac that was tortured for almost a year is higher than getting a “brand new” one or just a Mac that was used for couples of weeks. Because of the release of the M3 this makes me feel like I’ll get a “used” Mac. If you know what I mean. Please let me know. Like imagine someone just run some high performance programs on that mac for a half of a year straight. I feel that mac will not feel “as new” and be “as new” after such a torture. Please let me know
