For example, the refurbished model of the entry-level 14-inch MacBook Pro is $1799, while the original price is $1999, if the Refurbished Machine of the National Bank of China is also calculated at a 10% discount, the discount is still more cost-effective than the education discount.

Apple's MacBook Pro uses a mini-LED screen, and the high-brightness screen looks very good. As soon as the user opens the lid of the MacBook Pro screen, the screen will automatically light up, the contrast of the mini-LED screen can be comparable to the OLED screen, the wallpaper of the MacBook Pro can be slightly hidden under the "bangs", in the full-screen state of the Safari browser, the top column is all black, and consumers can hardly feel the presence of bangs.
Many parties broke the news that this year's iPad Pro 11-inch will not use a mini-LED screen, if users need a high-brightness screen, then the 2021 MacBook Pro is worth buying. If users can't use the performance of the M1 Pro/M1 Max, they can wait for this year's MacBook Air.
