If you don't put your location in your personal info and the currency in the message, what chance do we have?
It's not a terrific saving (same price as new 2.1GHz MB but with bigger hard drive.) If you could live with 'old' (6 month) technology then I suppose it's OK.
Not sure if the one you are talking about is white or not, but you can get a refurb blackbook (2.2) for $1049 off Apple.
what is your opinion on refurbished macbooks? will they fail or have a greater chance of failing in the long run? How is the condition if I bought one, any scratches or fading of the color on the keys etc vs buying a new or used one. thanks
Could somebody confirm, but are some of these 'refurbished' MacBooks not brand new excess old stock (i.e. Merom)?
That price is not bad, but I think you can do better. For example, here is a refurb [White] MacBook for $999. It has a smaller HDD though...
good find yeah not bad. It comes out pretty close in price though after taxes. Roughly 70-80 dollars for tax so 1080 at most. 20 bucks for 40gigs more and brand new is worth it. Also how do I go about to register the computer since I am buying from another guy. Do I only need the serial code to register for the 1 yr warranty via Apple?
