I’m trying to decide whether to buy new on Black Friday or shop the second hand market. I want something that’ll keep getting OS updates for at least a couple years.
Can anyone advise me on how to get the best value for my dollar—should I shop Black Friday deals for something new or stick to the used marketplaces like Facebook, eBay, etc? Based on the US in case that affects the answer. Thank you!
An Air would probably be enough for those use-cases. Then you can go for black friday deals on maybe an M3, since they should be offering them at a discount with the release of the M4. Basically the previous generation before the current one should have some good deals as they try to clear inventory.
