$1300 for a refurbished laptop?

have u ever bought an apple refurbished product? the shyt is basically new. like a refurbished machine for apple could be something that was shipped out and immediately returned. I mean, there won't even be a speck of dust on it. you wouldn't even know it was a refurb unless someone told you. plus, you get the exact same warranty and can get apple care the same way you can do a new product.

Would buy one but they stopped making 17 inch models. If they ever start again I'll cop. I just cant go back to 15 inch screens

doubt thats happening.

[OH SOHH TRILL]

I copped the MacBook Air (I think the last one) with i5 and 128gb of storage from Best Buy yesterday because I was traveling and forgot my laptop. I looked at it as a free 14 day trial. Should I keep it? $1059 for computer and magic mouse. My 1 year old ASUS is already ass.

Man, I'm not an apple or PC stan. I think both do things I hate and love at the same time. I have to say though...the build quality on PC's is fukking pathetic. Macs are SUPERIOR! That is the one regard where apple is a clear cut winner. The battery life is excellent. The portability is superb. The warranty is also tops. That alone IMO is why people are willing to pay more for a Mac. Lets be real, a $500 Laptop is not going to last 2-3 years. A macbook will easily last that long and the performance should remain the same. The Mac has resale value. The PC goes straight in the trash.

Nikkaz boasting about spending $500 on ACers but won't say how many they've bot in the last 5 years.

Why not tho? I spent, I think around $800 on a Lenovo in 2013 and would laugh hard as hell if it just up and broke tomorrow. I take care of my shyt tho so *shrug*. I expect it to last another 5 years, easily. I had a 2005 HP Pavilion that was going strong well into 2012 before my brother lost it. It's all about how you take care of your shyt, imo.
