  have purchased refurbs in the past, no issues here. they have the same warranty, and have actually undergone more strict qa than the new ones, so no real additional risk involved, just a better price!

  • in fact, less risk than a new model– Meeklo

  I'm not using one now, but I've had 2 refurbished Macs before, and they were both great. No problems. They've got the same warranty, so go for it.

  Yes!
  You will pay less money for a beta tested product, that means less chances to get a defective computer than if would get a new one. (it there was a problem, its now fixed).

  Also warranty is the same as if it was new.

  Somple (that means some people) don't realize that refurbished could also mean, defective/ scratched box, un opened product.

  Go for it.
