Is it a good time to buy a refurbished macbook pro?

It's still a perfect time to go with a refurb 2010 Mac. I got mine back in february and it looks and works like brand new (+ same warranty as a new computer).
If you get a Mac today, you'll get Lion for free when it comes out in July (I'll be paying for my copy...maybe I could get a student discount?). If I was a student, I'd hold off just by a bit for the free iPod touch back to school promotion. You can keep it or sell it to lower your refurb laptop cost by about $200
The new MBP won't be out until Jan-April 2012 IMHO. I might decide to get one if the update is significant in which I could sell my laptop.
If you get one or go with a different make, let us know

I'm pretty sure that refurb macs aren't eligible for the back to school program
i wish they were. I'm kinda fighting between a april 2010 13' mbp and a oct 2010 mba.
Specs aren't that different, mba just has a 64gb hard drive lol
