Apple Refurb must secretly admire me

[daneoni]

So i was one of those that bought the new macbooks but didnt like the screen and sold it immediately. I started looking for replacements i thought about keeping my Air 1.8/SSD but it requires compromises which i wasn't sure i was ready to make. I then started looking at the MBP as an option

I didnt want to buy the new MBP because they're more expensive and slightly bigger/heavier. Next stop refurb. I manage to pick up one of last gen's models..a 2.5GHz stock model and it came to day

Well i got a hell of a deal because i got major stealth upgrades i.e. 2.5>2.6GHz & 2GB>4GB RAM and 250GB 5400 RPM to 200GB 7200 RPM all for a price thats CHEAPER than the macbook i got. Deal or what!.

To be honest i was leaning towards keeping the Air because its lighter to carry around but giving the upgrades i got, i can resoundingly say i'll be keeping the Pro now...i'll suck up the extra weight.

I'm still leery of the 8600GT issue but i guess 2 yr coverage isnt bad and i'll get AppleCare down the road.

You lucked out! Congrats

I love getting stealth upgrades on refurb machines, it's part of the excitement waiting for the delivery, you don't know what you might get

Congrats on your splendid new computer, and well done on the upgrades, what a fantastic tale. Enjoy your MBP and may both of you live long and prosper together.

Cheers and good luck
