[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1571372, member: 56379"] The refurbished model are like new. Do a search here on Mac-Forums…and you will find that 95%+ of folks responding will attest to that fact.:) Of course these can be one generation older…so the latest new units would be "newer" in terms of the latest hardware. And that's ok too.:) But sometimes you can save $200-$300 on a nicely equipped refurbished computer.:) Good to hear you will be ok with 128gig of storage. I'm like you…I generally don't need a lot of "on board" storage. Definitely consider the 8gig ram upgrade for $100. That's actually a pretty good price…and you certainly won't regret it if you intend on keeping the computer for a while. It can always help with resale as well.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
