(the 13 inch one)

i mean, its not everyday where you spend 900+ on something. Should i just spend that extra 2 hundred and buy the newest and greatest or save that and settle for the refurbished one? hard decisions 😕

Well personally, I think the better screen, 7 hour battery, backlit keyboard, FW port, and faster processor all add up to that 200 dollars. So for me, it would be worth it to get the new one.

no brainer..new one..if u hav the $200 that is..but i think its a small fee to b up to date and everything DeusInvictus7 said. i personally just purchased the new mid 15" model and am lovin life. bsides everyone wants a pro..no? lol 🙄

depends on how much of budget your on, i would go with the refurb one actually.

With only a $200 difference, the new one is an easy choice. $400 might be more difficult.

That new battery setup is really nice, I love it. The better screen is also a big plus. Just thinking how, in the past, that I have been very frustrated when I ran out of battery power. I vote to spend the $200

The FW alone is worth $200.

I have to agree, the better battery, backlit and FW port are all great benefits and just make it an even better computer.
