i have been looking for a new laptop for school for a few weeks now. i want to spend around $1500 i have been looking at 2 models at the apple store. one is an older model that is in the refurb section but the overall spec are very nice for the price.

i think the only thing i will be missing out on is the new non removable, longer lasting battery.

the thing is, i cant get the college discount on refurb products but im still not sure what i should do.

here is the link to the refurb
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB471LL/A?mco=MjE0NjE5MA

or the newest model, i would prob get the $1699 15 in which doesnt have the added graphics but has the battery life and all the college discounts and free stuff after rebate.

or i could go with the step up, $1999 model which has everything i want but is more than i can afford atm.

i dont need the ipod touch because i have an iphone so i could sell that too.

thanks in advance for any advice
