Hi
Im about to buy a refurbished macbook pro 13" from february 2011.
It is the i5 2.3ghz model. I've been reading online, that people who recently bought the 2011 model are having issues with boot and crashes. Am i okay with this model or is it infected aswell? Thanks!

Not that I've heard of (and mind hasn't had any issues of the sort). I think you're fine - and of course, it's covered under the same warranty as a new machine, so if something's wrong, they'll take care of it.

Exactly the same as a new machine, but in a generic box.

I have that same machine (got it from refurb @ Apple), no problems. I love it. BTW it looked and of course still looks new

Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
