The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    Yeap, their refurb area always have a massive collection, most of which are in pristine quality and no wear, and for a killer discount. Add a Apple Protection plan, and you are set.

    Currently scoping out a MB for my sis :p

    True that.. and if you are one of the few to have a problem with your refurb, say a warped case or horrible scuff mark and worse... Apple is more than likely going to take care of you with out too much trouble. They WANT you to be happy.

    I would say Apples Refurbs are the best deal on the web considering they're not from some un-authorized dealer trying to get you with rebates that "might" work or be easy to obtain. Unfortunately I don't think they qualify for combo discounts at purchase, like Final Cut or the free HP printer/scanner, and tax still applies

    Some of these are soooo tempting! Now I can't decide if I want to go with user to user new, or one of these MBP's...

    Oh, also, I read the thread title and came in expecting to see a MBP that was used as a boat anchor! :D

    Haha at UltraCow, I thought it was a complaint! :p

    Apple Refurbs are pretty good quality, from what I hear from most people that have gotten a refurbished Mac before. It was on Apple's part to offer such a service as Refurbished Macs for discounted prices.
