[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1321597, member: 56379"] I'm thinking that if the computer on Craig's List for $1600 (maybe less if you can negotiate a slightly lower price)...is probably your best bet...assuming it is in ok shape (cosmetic shape & operational shape)...and it still has 9 months of Applecare remaining on it. If you were to buy the refurbished MacBook Pro from Apple. It would cost you: - $1359 for the computer - about $80-$90 for sales tax - about $50-$60 for an 8gig ram upgrade - about $200 for a 120gig SSD This would be a total of $1689 - $1709. Of course the refurbished computer ordered from Apple would cost you less money (without upgrades) $1359 + $80-$90 sales tax = $1439 - $1449...unless you can negotiate a lower price for the Craig's List computer. Overall...it really looks like the Craig's List computer would be the better deal.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
