Is it a good idea to get the 2015 13' Pro retina Refurbished ? What is the biggest differences

[DBZmusicboy01]

Same box? and how long does it take to get it and if we can use student discount on it and if we can use credit card for the student loan program.
All I need is the base 13 inch retina.

Referbs come in a brown box instead of the original. Not sure about the rest.

I've seen them in a brown box and I've seen them in a normal box with a "Apple Refurbished" sticker. Does the box matter?

and how long does it take to get it

Depends on your shipping method.

and if we can use student discount on it

Nope. Refurb or student discount. You can't have both.

and if we can use credit card for the student loan program.

Need more info here. What student loan program?

Bought a 13" refurbished last month. Came in a plain Jane white box, side sticker with product details said Refurbished. Also the power cord came in a white box with " Refurbished" printed on it. Other than that there is zero way to tell.
