MacBook Pro prices in Kenya range from Ksh 28,000 for a 2012 13-inch Intel Core i5 model to Ksh 130,000 for a 16-inch Apple Silicon MacBook Pro with 16GB RAM. Most buyers pay Ksh 45,000–65,000 for a 13-inch Touch Bar model with 16GB RAM and a fast SSD, in stock in Nairobi.
Apple has used the "MacBook Pro" name on very different machines since 2006, from aluminium unibody laptops with swappable batteries to today's Apple Silicon models with brighter, larger screens. Before you buy a used unit, it helps to check Apple's own Identify your MacBook Pro model support page, which lists the exact specifications for every generation Apple has ever sold, so you can match any listing below to real hardware rather than guesswork. It is also worth noting that Apple's current, brand-new MacBook Pro lineup now runs on M5-family chips and starts at a far higher price than anything on this page — which is exactly why a well-checked used unit remains the smarter buy for most people in Kenya.
It also helps to know how the MacBook Pro compares with other laptop categories on the market before you commit your budget. Our guide to types of laptops and their prices in Kenya breaks down ultrabooks, business laptops, and workstations, so you can see exactly where the Pro line sits, and why it costs what it costs.

MacBook Pro Generations Explained

| Years | Screen | What Changed | Ksh Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|

| 2019 | 15/16-inch | Dedicated Radeon Pro graphics; the 16-inch brought back a scissor-switch keyboard and a bigger battery | Ksh 60,000 – 100,000 |
| 2020 | 13-inch | Last Intel 13-inch model, plus the first Apple Silicon M1 model — a huge jump in speed per watt | Ksh 75,000 – 110,000 |

A used MacBook Pro can be excellent value, but only if it has been looked after. Go through this list before you pay.
Check Battery Cycle Count
Open the Apple menu, then System Report, then Power, to see the battery's cycle count and condition. See our laptop battery problems guide for warning signs on any laptop.
Test the Keyboard Carefully
2016–2019 models used a butterfly-switch keyboard that can develop sticking keys, especially the letters E, R, and the space bar. Type a full paragraph before you buy.
Inspect the Screen Edges
Some 2016/2017 13-inch models can develop a thin strip of missing backlight at the bottom of the screen. Tilt the lid all the way back and check the corners in a dim room.
Confirm the Charger Type
2012–2016 models use MagSafe 2, while 2016 and newer use USB-C. Make sure the correct, genuine charger is included in the price.
Check Apple Warranty Status
Find the serial number under About This Mac, then enter it at checkcoverage.apple.com to see if any AppleCare or standard warranty remains.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest MacBook Pro price in Kenya?
The cheapest MacBook Pro in Kenya right now is a 2012 13-inch Intel Core i5 model with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD, priced at about Ksh 28,000. It is an older machine, so it suits basic browsing, typing, and email rather than heavy work.
Are used MacBook Pro laptops sold in Kenya genuine?
Yes. Reputable Nairobi dealers, including KE Offers, source ex-UK MacBook Pro units from business and education lots. You can confirm any unit is a genuine Apple product and check its warranty status by entering its serial number at checkcoverage.apple.com.
Should I buy a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air in Kenya?
Choose the MacBook Air if you mostly browse, type, and use office apps, and want the lightest, most affordable Mac. Choose the MacBook Pro if you edit video or photos, run design software, or need a brighter screen and, on 15-inch and 16-inch models, dedicated graphics.
Is 8GB of RAM enough on a MacBook Pro?
8GB is enough for browsing, documents, email, and light photo editing. If you plan to run video editing software, several large apps at once, or virtual machines, look for a 16GB or 32GB model instead.
Do MacBook Pro laptops in Kenya come with a warranty?
Most used units are sold without remaining AppleCare, since that benefit is tied to the original buyer. Always check the serial number at checkcoverage.apple.com before buying, and ask the seller what shop warranty or return period they offer.
Which MacBook Pro is best for video editing in Kenya?
Look for a 15-inch or 16-inch model from 2018 or 2019 with a Core i7 or i9 chip, at least 16GB of RAM, and dedicated graphics, or an Apple Silicon M1 model if your budget allows. These handle exports far faster than a base 13-inch model.
Can I still use a 2012 or 2013 MacBook Pro today?
Yes, for basic tasks. These models can no longer run the newest macOS version, so some current apps and browsers may eventually drop support. They remain useful for typing, browsing, and office work at a very low price.
How do I buy a MacBook Pro from KE Offers in Nairobi?
WhatsApp or call 0714701814 with the model you want from this list. KE Offers will confirm current stock, condition, and price, since prices are only valid while stock lasts.
