macs are well known for their higher quality graphics abilities, that's why this feature the outstanding gma x3100 bottom-of-the-line graphics!

Wow, a great deal on a previously broken Apple!

I'd love to see a comparison of return rates of apple vs. a highly regarded pc company. Call me skeptical, as apple uses many of the exact same components as pcs nowadays, but I highly doubt that their reliability is the reason you frequently pay half the cost of an apple for an equal spec pc. And no, the OS isn't worth switching. I'm plenty happy with Windows or Linux. So if apple really wants to gain credibility, they need to start selling these things for a better price.

For #7, I am by no means an apple lover, but I do own a macbook specifically because their build quality is quite a bit better than anything else. I don't like OSX either so I just run WinXP exclusively on it. As far as laptops are concerned, I think they are deserving of the superior rep, especially now with the metal unibodies. For a desktop I would never get a mac though.

So you pay the premium for an Apple laptop to run WinXP on it? Fucking brilliant.

#9, by no means am I an Apple lover but Macbooks do have a superior design. I would buy a Macbook just to run Win7 because the look so sexy; although I'm smarter than that and I'd rather buy a Sony Vaio FX series...those are HOT and they cost 1/2 the price (and they come with Windows)!!!

Mac refurbs are golden...unless it has changed you get the same warranty for a refurb as you do a new unit.

If Apple were more on the ball, they would give a LONGER warranty on a previously broken Apple so people would have some confidence it won't die AGAIN in six months.
I'm still using G4s that we bought the first week they came out and they still work fine, don't need Leopard or Leopard bugs.
And, I will probably die before I buy another NEW Apple. They screwed me with a bad battery in a $500 3rd Gen iPod and once I paid a third party vendor for the battery I said I would no longer buy a NEW Apple.
They screwed me out of $56 and I haven't bought anything new from them since. Don't believe Apple will not cheat you when you buy something expensive.
I'm forced to use PCs for some equipment programming but other than that, a decade old G4 is good enough for anything I need to do.

OUT OF STOCK anyway, no need to worry about buying a previously broken 13" laptop.

I've purchased several Apple refurbs and all of them were completely indistinguishable from brand new products. There are a multitude of reasons that systems end up as "refurbished", and most of them have nothing to do with being "previously broken".
Same exact warranty, same exact product, same exact quality, lower cost.
That said, $899 for the previous generation macbook with cruddy X3100 graphics is certainly not a screaming deal, particularly when you can get the current model brand new from Macmall for $930.
