Hey Guys, so am thinking I'm going to go ahead with a macbook pro purcahse pretty quickly (so please no debate about whether to wait a year because I can't haha). Anyways I'm wondering if it's worth it to get a refurbished model of the new penryn edition. I'm in canada and I can get a 2.5ghz 15 inch with the 512mb gfx card for $2249, where as a brand new one would be $2599. Apple says that theyre refurbished are guarenteed.. and they have the same basic warranty (i'd definitely be getting applecare regardless of if i bought refurbished or new btw.) So what do you recommend? have you had any bad experiences with refurbished?? Thanks again!
Got a tip for us?

Get the refurbed and upgrade the RAM with your savings. You could even by an iPod Touch with all that extra money!
So put it like this: Refurbed MBP with 4GB RAM and an iPod Touch or new MBP with 2GB and no iPod Touch.
I know which one I would choose.

Yes, Refurbs are a great deal, you just miss out on the retail packaging. I would recommend getting a refurb MBP.
