Looking for Mac laptop refurb recommendations

My wife is a graphic designer and is in need of a computer for freelance purposes. She needs Mac for the Adobe suite since it works better with Mac and all of her clients will expect her to be using Mac since she primarily deals with publishing.
She's considering refurbished from Best Buy because they're considerably cheaper than new ones. Anyone have any experience with this or recommendations for what we should be looking for on the refurb end?

Check out the Apple refurbished store. They will be just as good as new quality. An M2 or M3 air will probably be plenty for her needs.

Thanks! Looking at those, some say "8 core cpu and 8 core gpu," some might say "10 core gpu" or even "7 core gpu." Would 7 core gpu be enough? Would there be a noticeable difference with what she's doing with it?

The differences between those won’t be much. I’d just make sure to get 16gb of memory. The extra cost will be worth it.
