While I agree that new MBPs from apple.com are way over-priced, I do think that Apple Certified Refurbished MBPs are more reasonable: http://www.apple.com/shop/

While I agree that new MBPs from apple.com are way over-priced, I do think that Apple Certified Refurbished MBPs are more reasonable: http://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_pro/15 http://www.apple.com/shop/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbo... For example, if you want 2.7GHz, 512GB, and the Radeon Pro 455, it costs $2799 brand-new from apple.com, but only $2379 for Certified Apple Refurbished. I bought a refurbished MBP almost a year ago from Apple and I haven't had any issues with it.
