    It's recycled air. (Ok, who's been eating beans?)

    I still find it beautiful but would never own a mac. Just a PC person.

    How's the first gen different from the following generations?

    Also, anyone of any experience with Mac's refurbished items?

    This is a pretty good deal considering when this was new it was close to $3k... if you haven't actually seen one of these in person you should seriously goto your local apple store and check them out... ridiculous!

    Not sure about the gen diff but my refurb 30gb iPod and airport express are still kicking. They came with the full warranty too.

    Yeah apple seems pretty reliable on their refurbs. Still have my 2 gen nano.... Long time
    Still wouldn't get a macbook, too pricey

    not ghetto enough for my dogs

    Apple refurbs are top notch... I've bought several things from them over the last few years and I've had zero issues... A macbook... A mac mini... A couple ipods... No problems at all...

    BTW... The 1st gen to 2nd gen Macbook Air has a big bump in the video area... You can google some reviews that discuss the differences pretty easily...

    Thanks for all the help on the refurb quality! I'm definitely going to look into getting more refurb items from Apple now...

    Mac's are the worst products out there. I had an air for a couple of months and refused to use it.

    I'd buy apple products if I didn't have this insatiable desire to ram three rolls of quarters up Steve Jobs' ass. He's a complete ****.

    Anyone know if they sell refurbished Mac Mini's? I wanna buy a cheap one to try out some iPod dev on.

    Scroll down some and you'll find $400 pc laptops, brand new ones, with better specs than this refurb.
