I was just thinking who thinks certified preowned macbook pro sounds better than the phrase refurbished macbook pro. Just kinda focuses on the fact that yes its been used but its been inspected and fixed up. Thoughts, comments, sorta just a comical thread haha
Got a tip for us?

As not every refurbished Mac is pre-owned, it wouldn't be that correct to call them that. I might also be off putting, as it sounds more like second hand.
I vote for "rehabilitated" Mac.

But only for the MAs I guess.
Btw, can you please point me to your right click with MRoogle search guide or something? I can't find it via Bing and have lost my PIN for MRoogle.
My vote goes to the lady in red in that other lady's bed talking about sprucing up.
It's a sticky at the top of the Mac Basics and Help forum:

Who looks at them anyway? Not me.
I hardly ever browse outside of Forum Spy. There should be a group for that.
Thanks, let's see if I can get this thing working with Mosaic.
There is a group for that. And a 12-step program, too. Counseling and medication can be provided in severe cases.
I have no issues with "refurbished". Especially the way Apple handles it. I've gotten refurb stuff from other companies (Palm and Creative) and both had issues and I wasn't at all impressed with the packaging. Definitely felt like a second class citizen when I opened those packages.
I kinda like the preloved, but yea the only thing is the certified pre-owned and preloved make people think of cars
