Hi Sarah,

For the Money, a referb is as good as new so if you want a like new Mac at a 
lower price, that would be the way to go.  You can get apple care for it 
just like the new ones.

Hi there. Didn't know Apple sold refurb macs. I'll take a look but not sure
I want a used one but it's worth looking at. I guess I'm still thinking
about saving and getting the pro; not the $22000 one, but the $3000 one. lol
I know, I'm crazy. smile
