Refurbs from Apple get the one year AppleCare like new machines and you can add 2 more years after that. Additionally, refurbs are only a year or two old at most. Once you find machines from 2012 or whatever, they might be marked at refurbished but do not carry any of the warranty that actual Apple refurbs do. This is important since if those machines fail with a logicboard issue (and being old enough, they might), that'll easily run you what you paid for the machine itself.If this is not going to be your long term machine (just need for the job search) then you might want to spend as little as possible to get something to get you through the process and then invest the money to purchase the machine that will last you for a few years.</blockquote>
