- MacBook Pro: 15"/2.33GHz/2Gb
I'm making the switch and I have a choice between a 15", 2.16GHz, 2GB Ram, 128Video, 120GB HD -or- a Refurbed 17", 2.33GHz, 2GB RAM, 256Video, 160GB HD. Both MacBook Pro, price difference is 17" = an additional $250.
I know the 17" is a bigger, heavier machine, but the specs show it to be a superior laptop. I am tempted to go for it.
My biggest question: Is a refurbished product as good as a new product? I hate the thought of a buying a "second hand" computer, but if I won't be able to tell that its second hand, whats the diff, huh? Also do they look as nice? Are they scratched/worn?
So what are your refurb experiences?
