Why Buy the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch (2017)?
Maxed-Out 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD
Most used MacBooks in Kenya come with 8GB RAM and 128GB or 256GB storage. The RAM and SSD on this MacBook are soldered to the logic board and cannot be upgraded later, so the 16GB / 1TB configuration is the smartest long-term choice. You get room for large projects, photo libraries, music, offline files and dozens of open apps without slowdowns or constantly deleting files.
Reliable Core i7 Performance
The Intel Core i7 boosts up to 4.0GHz, keeping demanding apps like VS Code, Xcode, Android Studio, Microsoft Office, Zoom, Photoshop and Lightroom fast and responsive.
