    Friend is trying to decide between two macbooks -- I know nothing about them, which one should she get?

    Hi,

    One of the macbooks is refurbished and the other one is not, however she doesn't care about that, so which macbook is better in terms of specs? The refurbished one is also $100 cheaper which is a big plus for us

    This is the new one

    Assuming the processor is the same or better on the refurb unit, the refurb is the stronger unit due to having dedicated + integrated graphics.
