What are you looking for? That was the question I asked my daughter yesterday. She isn’t sure if she wants a new or Refurbished Macbook. It’s a hard choice for her, but I know what I would choose. When a macbook is refurbished, it is just like a brand new computer for a little less money. The Apple technician checks out the computer, makes sure it has all the original software on it, and confirms that the operating system is original. The technician then certifies the computer and it is ready to sell. Once my daughter learned all the facts, she bought a refurbished one.
