Is a refurbished macbook pro a better buy than a new macbook?

Typically, Apple's refurbished products are a great way to save money on a 'new' computer. Apple often sells their products refurbished online; sometimes, they're current models, somtimes they're recently discontinued models. Either way, if you buy directly from Apple's 'Special Deals' section on their online store, they come with the same warranty coverage as a brand new product.

While it's possible that an old enough MacBook Pro may have less appeal than a current MacBook (for example, if the MacBook Pro is an original Core Duo model, vs. a brand new MacBook Core 2 Duo), most likely a refurbished MacBook Pro is going to pack a lot more bang for the buck.
