Should I be holding out for a baseline MBPr with 16gb of RAM in the refurb store, or do they just sell those in with the 8gb baseline ones listed? Is it just a luck thing if there's more?
That thing is hyper-expensive so the refurb route is a good idea but if you want the deal you've got to be patient. Instead of constantly checking and making yourself crazy, you can use refurb.me.
Or you can compare prices at B&H, Amazon and New Egg. Sometimes the tax free angle beats the savings of a refurb.
Well I figured I'd go the Apple Refurb store just in case I get any issues listed. Figured they'd have the easiest to deal with return policy. Also those ones have been tested thoroughly by Apple for all the issues like IR on the screen...right?
