[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1638867, member: 56379"] With a $900 budget (or less)…you're most likely going to have to back away from a 15" i7 model…and start thinking about a 13" i5 model. Even the least expensive Apple refurbished 2012 13" i5 model is $929. The only way you're going to get a 2012 15" i7 model for $900 or less is if you get lucky on eBay…or find a great deal on Craig's List. And just so you know. You don't even want to bother with online resellers of used Mac's. They sell things at way too high a price. An example…here's the lowest cost USED 2012 15" MacBook Pro i7 2.33ghz for $1429 from PowerMax: [url]https://www.powermax.com/product/pow-t51025[/url] The same EXACT model refurbished from Apple (which is going to be way better & have 12 months of Applecare)…is $1109: [url=http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD103LL/A/refurbished-154-inch-macBook-Pro-23ghz-Quad-core-Intel-i7]Refurbished 15.4-inch MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-core Intel i7 - Apple Store (U.S.)[/url] Why in the world would someone pay $1429 for the same exact computer (used) than they could get from Apple for $1109 (Refurbished) is beyond me!;) Either purchase refurbished from Apple…or go shopping on eBay or Craig's List.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
