QUOTE(shockk @ Mar 3 2017, 12:32 AM) Mind sharing the details of your bad experience? I'm sure many here would be interested to know. Cheers. Is it? Hmm anyone here bought a refurbished unit before? It is cheaper but if it comes with 80% of battery life and minor scratches, don't think the cheaper price is a discount. At least I don't see it that way. I mean if you are spending so much already for a MacBook. What is another few hundred moreEven some brand new MacBooks come with scratches based on complaints in the Apple forums in US. And IIANM, from what I've read previously, refurbished sets normally do not provide a brand new battery, but just a battery which is 'new enough' - at 80% minimum capacity left.  |

QUOTE(shockk @ Mar 3 2017, 01:23 PM) Yup. The price difference is actually not significant. If you are not on a tight budget and are planning to use it for personal use and for years to come, better get a new one Alright man thanks for the heads upThough I believe some people really don't mind cosmetic issues on their MacBook and are fine with the slightly-used battery capacity, and these are their target market.  |
