Refurb or New White Macbook?

[ritzuk]

Hi,

I've noticed that refurb white Macbooks go on sale around 1am for £529.99 in the UK Apple store. I can get student discount on a white Macbook and three year's Applecare for about £660.

Do you think it's worth paying the premium for a new white Macbook, or will the refurb be a better deal? I've never seen a refurb, but I am worried about yellow cases where someone's wrist has rubbed against them. The specs are the same, although the refurb is a combo drive, not super.

What would you do?

I would definately go for the new one at that price, especially since it comes with three years of applecare.

Go with the more expensive one because of the AppleCare.

Go w/the new one because of the included AppleCare.

Hmm the refurb still gets a one year warranty. I may have to check it out tonight at 1.

No doubt about it, get the new one with the Applecare. Great deal.
