      the airbook is the worst machine, had one for 3 months, used it less than 10 times, because I couldn't stand it.

      There's nothing wrong with the Air , get the SSD 1.8ghz version ... plenty fine. Great screen , great keyboard with lighted keys , super slim... great for web and email and office.... Now if your video editing then get a mac pro...

      I've heard rumors that there is an underground movement to defecate in consumer electronic devices, return them to manufacturers, and hope they end up back on the market as refurbs. This is a real thing that's going on from what my sources tell me. Might want to just buy new from now on.

      sincerely,

      Agree with #3. I love my little MB Air for day-to-day use.

      Given the weight of 2.65#, it's overall diminutive size, full size back-lit keyboard, beautiful 13.3" screen, features, and very high quality build, I think the Mac Air is a GREAT laptop. Considering this is an Apple refurb (the ONLY refurb I would buy), you get a good as new laptop at a greatly reduced price. I would highly recommend the Air. If you want REAL opinions (as opposed to #1, take a look at this Air on Amaz0n. It has the highest customer rating of any laptop I have seen there, with plenty of stellar reviews.

      NO F N way this prices are ridiculous, you may get a brand new Mac for the same or cheaper price.

      You won't find a better deal on a macbook right now, even with education pricing, etc. 15% off is decent and Apple's refurb products in my experience are indistinguishable from new. Same warranty, same everything.

      It's easy to bitch about price when you have no idea what you're talking about, but this is pretty much the best you're gonna get for these products right now.

      #9, you drive a tiburon, that says enough about you. LOL at the thought of getting a brand new one for even less.

      do they clean the jizm off the keyboard too? I would be more worried about the previous owners sticky hands than deification #4.

      Monica Lewinsky doesn't mind the jism. She likes to collect it.
