Here's hoping they show up soon. I'd like a R.B SSD Refurb. Anyone else waiting?

i think i'm about to pull the trigger on a rev. a refurb. for my purposes in owning a laptop, the nvidia graphics won't be missed.

I'm ready to pull the trigger on rev A refurb. I'm guessing rev B refurbs will not be nearly as cheap as the rev A. I assume it's going to be similar to the other refurb discounts at 10-15% off (on current models, not old gen models which are discount much more). With 10-15% off, it's almost the same price as a new one with edu discount.

that's the way I see it as well, hence why I went with the rev A. whose discounts actually make it a good deal.

I would love for a Rev. B refurb but from past experience the discounts won't be big.

given the number of people posting here that they returned their MBA Rev B due to the screen I would expect quite a few refurbs. maybe they have an extensive quality control?
here is my wishful thinking, they won't sell them until they have fixed the screens...

Bought a rev a refurb after much worrying that it wouldn't be fast enough or I'd want the rev b. I love it! Its everything I need in a laptop, minus space. That's what I have an external for though, just in case. Its not my only mac (I have too many) but its awesome for what it is. Very easy to carry around and very quick with the SSD. My only worry is upgrading the drive in the future. I don't wanna be stuck with 64GB forever! Otherwise I love it!

Agreed. I bought the Rev A SSD which, based on appearance and battery life cycle, is a new machine that does everything that I need.
