    Thought I'd pass along that my "new" refurb MacBook is FLAWLESS. I know people have wondered how good they are. Well, it is entirely indistinguishable from a brand new one. I also threw in a 160gb HD from newegg as well 2gb RAM. All has been perfect for a week. If you want to save a couple hundred bucks, go with refurb! You won't regret it!

    Nice, and AppleCare works for it too.

    I ordered one as well, though it was a Pro, it was $1399, but they ran out of stock, so it got canceled...

    Though, I have to admit, it was an impulse buy :D

    That is great to hear! Please let us now down the road how it is doing. I have always heard good things about refurb from Apple, so I agree that if you don't mund it not being new, it is a great way to save some money.

    very nice! If I weren't already getting a student discount, I would have gotten a refurbed MBP.
    Glad to hear that you've had good luck with it!
