Hello all,

I am looking to purchase a refurbished macbook pro but am having some trouble discerning the best purchase for money I can get between the various years and specs. For the most part I will use it for school, some gaming, and would like it to run audio recording programs as well.

Based upon what I can afford here are my options with the 2020 mabye slightly out of my range (but I thought I would include it nevertheless).

2018 MacbookPro 13in - i7 2.7ghz -16RAM - 256GB SSD

2019 Core i5 - 2.4 GHz - SSD 256 GB - RAM 16GB

2020 Core i5 - 1.4 GHz - SSD 256 GB - RAM 8GB

2020 13in M1 8-core and 8-core GPU - 8GB RAM - SSD 256GB

I guess my question is sort of: would a 2018, for instance with an i7 and 16RAM be more powerful than the 2019 i5? or a 2020 with only 8RAM? Although I have gone on some websites which compare processors, I feel I am getting differing information. Furthermore, Is the graphics card in the 2019 for instance better than the 2018 and how much of a role would that play in importatnce over RAM or processor for instance.

Thank you to whomever can help with this question.

Geekbench has the 2018 scoring 3907 and the 2019 scoring 3760 so the 2018 wins on that score. Not sure how that translates to everyday use.
