The UK refurb store shows a 16% (across the range) saving still. I think that's always been the case for refurb macbooks here (been keeping a close eye on them
) I hope we get a price drop too.
FYI, I bought a refirb MBP (2Ghz/100Gb/1Gb/256Mb graphics) about 6 weeks ago (two weeks before the C2D versions came out :-(
The price was good - 30% off, it arrived really quickly and the case was as-new. The only issue is the box is plain brown, not the nice shiny box that new ones come in - like this matters!
I would have assumed that it would be perfect.... Ass-U-Me - it bit me.
It's a winer. It's been back for a new logic board. It came back and still wined. I booked it back in for repairs, and before I could take it back one of the fans packed up.
So I'm waiting for the fans to arrive at the repair centre, but the wining won't be dealt with this time as they've not seen the problem.
Grr.
Lesson; if this were a new one, I'd have simply sent it straight back to them and demanded either a replacement or the money back. Because it's a refirb you have a *strict* 14 days, then it's into the repair cycle.
If you get a refirb, thouroughly check it out.
Knowing mine was born in April, I've got a 6 month old machine that's probably been sent back umpteen times by the previous owners!
I'm not going to get another refirb!
