New or refurb 15in MacBook Pro?

[devilstrider]

I'm getting a MacBook Pro for school but the prices are pretty tight. I was wondering what should I do? I was about to buy one on craigslist but I think it was a scam so I backed out.

Might as well go refurb. It's the same thing, just with a slightly less ridiculous price

+1. If you buy refurb, you get the same warranty as a brand new one too.

I was thinking that. Is the anti-glare and Hi Res screen really that good to justify the price difference in these two?

His-Res is way better resolution and the antiglare is definitely worth it.

The seller wanted to go through http://co-operative-consignment.com/default.aspx. Once I researched the price it looks far to good to be true. Also in the email the persons name is Sarah Jones and the email was wycleftyour@**********************

I'll go with that one then.

That's what I'm going to do. I just wanted to make sure other people saw that and avoid those deals.
