Received the refurbished Macbook Pro today!

Thanks chas. Another guy mentioned it earlier too. Those are super-useful shortcuts. Command + up is better than space or Shift + space because it will work in all applications, not just Safari.

Another super-useful one for me was fn + delete, which = forward delete from a PC. (Macbook Pros omit that key, sadly)

Already, I miss the Pg Up, Pg Dn, Home, and End buttons though.

I would too. Hard to believe (I know) but this is one of the things that keep me from buying a Mac. I often find myself using just my right hand to type (I'm obviously not a touch-typist) and use the dedicated Home and End keys ALL THE TIME.

Bottom line for me: I sincerely wish the MBPs came with dedicated Home and End keys.

Thanks. I meant to say "Yes, I know there are keyboard shortcuts, but I sincerely wish the MBPs came with dedicated Home and End keys."

yeah, that just popped into my brain, slow thinking at the moment, my mistake.

I bought mine refurbished also. Look and operate like brand spanking new. I can't tell the difference. Congrats!

I was confident in buying refurbished MBP from Apple cause I had bought a refurb iPod from them before and there was no difference between the new ones except the serial number label. I haven't had any problem with my iPod either 3+ yrs

(Firefox) BTW, I missed Home and End too until I realized the 3 fingers swipe up and down replaces Home and End! Very convenience!

Wow! First of all congrats! I didn't know that the refurb macs come in such good packaging...I'll have to go kick myself now for getting a new one....stupid stupid! lol

My wife wants to buy one too now, but they don't have any 13" pros in stock any more. They have a 1.6 GHz Air for $1100 now though...

Check back once a week. They will have it back in stock. I had to wait on them before I can order mine. My guess is we're buying display models from their Apple store.
