[QUOTE="Andy348, post: 769477, member: 65532"] Just a follow up for some of those who might be interested: I got the MB 2.1 refurb at $899. To be honest, I expected more, but its still good. My big problems are: Build quality. I'm sure Hp or whatever would be worse, but I'm still not too happy. It feels so fidgety in my hands some times and I'm sort of worried about that. Dead pixels. I've got 4-5. Its not a big problem for me since I'm not that big of a movie watcher and I rarely have all black screens. I realize that I could probably send it back. Temperature. My MB hasn't been running too hot but recently I've seen temperatures of 60 degrees or 50ish while just web browsing. I realize it isn't a laptop but I still don't want it to burn my legs. Battery. Twice its happened to me where I've used my MB in the morning at a full charge. Then, 6 hrs later when I came home (it was on sleep) it was compeltely dead. I plug it in and then open the screen - 2 hours of battery life left??? Yet at the bottom the green light is flashing. WHAT?? Did I just get a semi-lemon or what??? [/QUOTE]
