It might be US dollars macmania82 is talking about, as he is from Poland. You can't buy from the US Apple Store from abroad, so refurbs are out of the question for him. I wonder if buying from the US is an option at all. In fact, buying from the UK might be the best option, as the pound is nearly level with the euro right now. Meaning that a new £2000 17" MacBook Pro will only cost €2300 euro. I wouldn't even think of buying from the US right now, when doing so from within Europe...
EDIT: Yes, €2300 is a lot more than $2600, but when buying from the US there will be a lot of added cost, as there's no VAT in the US. Buying within the EU is really the smarter option, I think. What do you guys think?
