As I recently mentioned in another thread, my favorite MacBook Pro's is the late 2015 model. Anything from late 2013 to late 2015 is great and if you can find a refurbished model it'll last you for quite some time without giving up any performance!

I would have bought a refurbished, but at the time the only refurbished models were still more than my MBA 2017.

If I can't find one the current MacBook Pro is good right? I was thinking of saving bit of cash only if it was possible.

Also would there be a way to connect my VGA monitor to these MacBooks (I'll ask them at the store but just wondering)

It's good without a doubt, I just like the old ones better myself. For those you can get a displayport to VGA adapter as well.

Be careful if you want a 2016 model on refurb. Many problem with the Keyboard. He's under guarantee so Apple replace it with the new version of keyboard 2017 but its a little bit annoying.
