[QUOTE="drew gandy, post: 99144, member: 880"] Re: Apple MacBook Pro - Antiglare vs Retina I bought my 11" mba back in December "new" because that was the only way to get it with 8gb ram. It's not upgradable so you've got to do it at initial purchase. [I think the fact that the apple refurbs rarely have maxed ram is telling about the general computer buying public.] I have bought a few refurbs in the past and have not been disappointed except with an airport express that I've found is basically unusable. If you buy a computer refurb I suspect you'll find most issues pretty quickly whereas my airport express was barely used for the first few months so I didn't realize it was funky. btw, I'm just now getting used to the tiny dot pitch (and the resulting tiny text size) on this mba. And I do use the zoom functions a lot more than I used to with the 17" 2006 model or the 13" 2010 models that preceded it. But, it's really small and light. It fits on smaller tables around mixing consoles and other junk and I think it's better on my back when I haul it in a backpack.
