- Your Mac's Specs
- Macbook, 80GB, 1GB, Superdrive
I currently use a PC and am almost decided on switching to a MAC (about 80% there). My budget will allow me to buy a refurb Macbook or if I really pushed it and I could go for a new Macbook.
The refurb one has the following spec and costs £599:
Refurbished MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo - White
I guess I don't need to list the spec of the £749 Macbook.
I would like to know what the general consensus is on buying a refurb Mac. Do they die after the year's warranty runs out? Can they be considered reliable? Or should I break the bank slightly and go for new? I really appreciate your comments.
Thanks,
