After years of using Microsoft Windows and not being very happy with Windows 10 I was looking at a Mac Book preferably 15.4 inch one.
To buy new is out of the question for me, I have come across this website selling refurbished ones, has anyone ever bought a refurbished Mac Book ?

I know Apple sell refurbished but there isn't a lot of difference from the new price, Argos sell them on EBay but currently there isn't any available.

As I said in my original post I am aware they do but no great saving on a new one.

Had my macbook from 2012 till 2 weeks ago, served me well.

Definitely worth the money.

Right, I know nowt about this, but my mate is an Apple fan, and what he did was buy an Apple screen, keyboard and an Apple Mini laptoppy thing, something or other. This worked out a lot cheaper! Hope my technical expertise helps?

Do you know any students? Apple do decent discounts for students so if you could get one to buy it for you you'd save between 10% and 20%. Think the offers apply to refurbed stuff as well.*
