I am wanting to purchase a refurbished macbook pro 13" from [redacted]

I am attracted to them as they offer a 4 month warranty on used hardware and their feedback seems quite good.

I only need for Microsoft Office, Internet and email. Basic needs. Budget $600-700

Any recommendations to which model:

Purchase the MacBook that offers you the most memory & storage space for the least amount of money as well as offer you the specs that allows you to run the latest OS X version smoothly.

Try to get at least the 256gb model. You'll want that for storage and the drive performs better than the 128gb.

Enjoy!

Used Mac Books represent good value. They are designed well with high end specs from when they were made so they hold up well even years after they were made. Get the best model you can afford. Late 2013 is better than early 2013, they changed chips at that point to a better one, also if you can get 8GBs of RAM that is better, but those models came with 4 stock, although many upgraded. (I had a late model 2013 and I loved it!)

Should also be SSD. Save yourself the headache of a spinning HDD. Another idea is to get a 2012 model which you can upgrade to SSD yourself and boost the RAM. Depends on how far your budget goes.
