8. Thanks, but refurbs aren't available the same week of release as new models.

Which is the excuse I used to talk myself into not waiting!

Every new macbook that I've gotten, and iMacs, too, has been from the refurb page.

Same product, same warranty, but if it's a new release it won't be available for a while.

This was the same week as the new release and it just wasn't on the website as a refurb, I checked!

Thanks, that's good advice!
