Refurbished MacBook Pro - $1450
2.2GHz
15.4-inch widescreen display
4GB memory
120GB hard drive
8x SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT with 128MB of GDDR3 memory
I purchased a White 2.2GHz MacBook a week ago and returned it when Apple announced the new lineup. I was planning on switching to the 2.4GHz BlackBook, until I noticed the Refurbished 2.2GHz MacBook Pro in the Apple store, for a little cheaper. Now I'm in quite a pickle. How reliable are refurbished products from Apple? Will they be absolutely spotless with no scratches or dents? Also, will this MBP still be more powerful than the BlackBook, even though it is older? I plan on doing a lot of recording and Photoshop work, so the MBP would be the obvious choice right?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions on here lately. Just making sure I"m getting the right Mac for me!
