Hey guys,I'm on the lookout for a MacBook Pro refurbhised and have a budget of 1700 and I want dedicated graphics.so the only one that I can afford right now is the early feb 2013 , will I be able to get the 750m model for the same price when the next generation comes out? Thanks for all your replies

well it seems the 750m will be in the next refresh also , so im 90% sure that price won't go down from $2599 to $1700 for a refurbished version , you may have better luck on ebay , or unless you wait till broadwell then maybe

Are you sure you need dedicated graphics? I got that model and use gfxcardstatus to set it to use the integrated gpu only. I can play border land on full settings with no lag.
I don't think I would've missed it too much of I bought the base 15" either.. But I'm very happy and will not exchange it

I think you could find something 2nd-hand from someone who forgot buying Apple Care within the 1-year window. I wouldn't pay more than $1700 for and out-of-warranty high end rMBP.

On the other hand, the prices drop when newer models come. It's not admitted publicly by Apple, but in Brazil I can find good deals (up to -30%) at authorized retailers when a new model come.
