Now that we're done ogling over the new MBP's...

[thebeesknees]

The old ones are still awesome. Personally, I prefer the look of the old ones to the new, but I guess that's just a personal choice. Sure, performance is better on the new ones, but the old MBP's are powerful little beasts. Now: here's the most important part. A 15 inch, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, a high end machine just hours ago, is available for.... $1350.

For me, I'm forgetting about the new notebooks. Old MBP's, here I come!

where at?

 

[thebeesknees]

where at?

Oops, I feel stupid.

The Apple Refurb Store

 

[answer348]

Yeah, top of the line previous generation MBP can be purchased with student discount at the apple clearance store for around $1500.

I think I'll wait for the new update to hit the 17" and pick up the previous generation on clearance.

 

[thebeesknees]

Nice! I'd pick up a 17 inch, but one, I can't afford it, and 17 inches is just a little bit too big for me.

As Michael Scott would say, that's what she said!

You dont have to, but why wouldnt you? Same product, same warranty, much cheaper with better testing and quality control then a new unit. Apple refurbs are top notch.

I might join you!
Struggling to find any refurbished 15inchers at the UK store though...

Oh snap!

Why pay more when you can pay less. That's not burning money; that's stupidity.

I dunno, I guess for some people a high end one is neccessary. The one he mentioned is more powerful than the refurb.

BAM! Great. Absolutely priceless.
