[QUOTE="AUZambo, post: 1573265, member: 22414"] [I]*edit: I did a quick search for "refurbished" and "refurb" and found nothing. My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere.[/I] I just got my tax refund today and it's time to replace my 8 year old MBP. I was originally going to get the new [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0096VD85I/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]15" retina display with a 512 GB drive and 16 GB ram[/URL]...but at $2500 it's quite pricey. I was maxing it out simply because I know I can't upgrade RAM myself and there's not promise of a compatible hard drive for future upgrades. I found a [URL="http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD103LL/A"]refurb mid-2012 model[/URL] for $1500 and I'm leaning towards it. It's not much ram, but I can upgrade that (and hard drive) later if need be. Plus it has the same i7 processor that the new MBPs have. I'm just curious about the quality of the Apple refurbed models. I'm getting a 1.5 year old computer, and that's my only hesitation. I can afford the pimped out new retina model...it would just be nice to save the $1000. Is there a reason NOT to get the refurbished model? [/QUOTE]
