To save a lot of money on laptops, you should always go for used when it comes to Apple — no reason to support their ridiculous stock price any more.

I’ve probably sold over 50 Apple laptops, all refurbished, on eBay in the past year, and in all of my sales, I’ve had maybe 2 or 3 that have had any problems.

And even at that, it isn’t to say that you wouldn’t have those same problems with new models.

I’ve owned the following in the past year:

• 17″ Apple iMac Intel Core Duo
• 13″ Apple White Macbook Intel Core Duo
• 13″ Apple Black Macbook Intel Core Duo
• 15.4″ Apple Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo

All of these machines have given me no trouble what-so-ever, and all I have gotten for a significant discount.

Here are the two models compared on the site:

Refurbished MacBook 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo – White
13.3-inch glossy widescreen display
1GB memory
80GB hard drive
Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW)

13-inch White Macbook 2.0Ghz

$1,099.00

Right here we can see that you save $200 if you buy the refurbished model.

The two laptops carry the same 1-year warranty, and the refurbished model is guaranteed to be in new condition — of all of my units, unless I told you they were refurbished, you couldn’t tell at all.

Both also come with Leopard, so, save yourself some money, spend on on your wife/girlfriend and shop smart.
