Good, bad, or indifferent. Is it risky ? Can I get apple care ? The savings would be a big help. I could not find any threads on this subject, any help would be much appreciated.

Apple refurb products are completely eligible for apple care. They also come with the standard year warranty.
Now, it is my opinion that a refurb has been looked over better than anything off the line. The QC on a refurb comes as a result of a "problem" that someone reported. The problem could have been dust under the screen or something truly wrong. Either way, I believe with a refurb your chances of getting a great machine are very high. Additionally, if the purchased spec'd machine online is not actually available Apple will bump you to the next best thing they have.
