[QUOTE="WW4B, post: 1813450, member: 395638"] Thank you all for the advice during my given situation. It has been much appreciated. Looking into the Apple refurbished deals. Realize that third party vendors are not that reliable in terms of model years offered (most are pre 2015) and warranties. Saw a refurbished late 2017 13" MBP on Apple store for $1260. Retina display / 2.3GHz dual-cor intel Core i5 / 8GB 2133Mhz LPDR3 onboard memory / 256GB PCLe-based onboard SSD / Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640. Can have it delivered to Delaware to avoid sales tax. Can also get Federal employee and/or student discount as well. Places like B&H and Experimac were all in the general neighborhood cost wise for the same type machine. May be worth the peace of mind to go Apple store route. This machine will be handling major job search, email, Office work (excel, word & power point), other searches and so on. No gaming or photo/music editing. With that being said, might a mac air be more reasonable choice than a MBP since they are considerably cheaper in price options. Appreciate all insight and suggestions. [/QUOTE]
