So I currently have a MBP 13" 2010. It's still going strong but I know it's time to upgrade. I just don't know to what. I've gotten so much different advice as to what and where to get. The 2 things that I care about the most are speed and editing photos/videos. Just a bit of background info. This is for home only, I don't ever take it anywhere, just from my bed to the couch. I have never edited any photos or videos before so this will be something new for me. However, I am detail oriented so would want something that once my experience is better will be able to keep up. (This will not be at any professional level.) I have the original Sony Action Cam so that's the kind of video I'd be editing if it matters.
The other issue is speed. I tend to research stuff online and when doing so I'll have about 4-5 windows open with 5-10 tabs each all running at once. Right now this is locking up my laptop. Obviously this is an investment so I want to get something for the long term but don't want to get something that is overkill. Also I don't care if it has the touchbar or not and I don't care what ports it has as long as it has one for an SD card. And I have a 4TB external tower.
Is this something that I should never buy on say Ebay or Amazon? What do people think about the refurbished aspect? What's the latest year I should be looking at? I'm totally lost as what to do.
