I just ordered a refurbed 2.6 GHz mbp. 200gb ata 7200. Did I read somewhere there was a problem with these? The apple guy said it was a custom order originally or either sent back or in some cases people don't take delivery so it could have never been used.
Got a tip for us?

Any problems with the 2.6 GHz MBP?

That's the machine I have and it kicks ass (especially with the 7200rpm drive--I don't understand why the new MBPs still come with 5400rpm drives by default). I am lucky that I got the Applecare for free, considering the GPU issue. But even if you don't, you have 2 years to complain if you sense a problem.
One thing that I do is use smcFanControl to run the fans at 3500rpm continuously, to keep the GPU nice and cool and, you know, prevent it from spontaneously bursting into flames.

Thanks. So I get the two years even though it is a refurb? The Apple sales guy said I had a warranty as if new (and then said 1 year and 90 days tech).
I'm wondering what told him this was a custom order?
