[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1545668, member: 56379"] Looks like a nice computer Mike!:) Definitely a great idea to get the 15" if you don't want to have to always "fool" with an external monitor...yet still have decent screen real estate for photgraphy work. Also...according to Everymac.com...there was no official/stock 2.8ghz i7 15" Early 2013 MBP...just a 2.7ghz model. So this refurbished unit must have been an upgraded/pre-configured with the faster 2.8ghz cpu. :) The only "watch-out" I can see is...the cost of that 768gig of flash storage. That's got to add a decent amount to the cost. I know that Apple doesn't expect us to be able to upgrade the storage after purchase...but it does seem to be possible...as long as someone (OWC) comes up with a solution. I know that you're going to enjoy it. Especially upgrading from a 2007 MBP!:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
