    I'm thinking of taking the jump across to OSX. I'm considering buy a refurbished white Macbook or perhaps the Pro (because cost is a factor) from the Apple Store. Does anyone have any experience - good or bad - with refurbished macbooks from Apple?

    I have seen 10 or so of the refurbs and never seen one that looked used in any way.

    All of Apples refurbs usually look immaculate. They look brand new and still come with a one year warranty so even if there is an issue with the functionality of the computer it is still covered. And I suggest going for the Pro instead of the standard macbook.
