dont think i want to go through the same experience again. gonna get the latest 17incher with education discount. About $400 more but i can sleep easy at night knowing its new.

how much will the education discount be?

Way to go to dig up old threads.

Anyway, just hop onto the Online Apple Store and configure a product to your liking, next, go back to the 'main' Online Apple Store and head into the Education Store. Configure the same product and you'd know the difference.

Just bought a refurbished MacBook Pro with Retina Display online, it indicates 24 hours shipping, anyone knows when can I expect it?

usually upon ordering the shipping arrival date will be known during the order process. maybe u missed it but no worries, it will arrive in prb 5-6 days, with a phone call if yr not home.

Thanks, Apple delivered it on Thursday evening. Was planning to wait out for Haswell but my current 2009 17" broke down.

Saved quite a bit, 2.6GHz with 16GB memory and 512 SSD at less than 3K. I guess this must unit must have been returned due to burn in display issues.

Checked and found it's a Samsung display, with only 5 charge cycles. Now going through stress test to check on any problems. The exterior is flawless though..

is that apple return your money 100% or there was a restocking fee?

based on my own experience with macbooks, they will return the money to you 100% in 3-5 working days upon receiving of your returned item. hope it helps.

Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead..but has anyone else purchased a refurb Macbook Pro 17" from Apple Singapore?

I'm thinking of getting one, and I'm afraid I might experience the same as the OP.

I got my MacBook Pro from the refurbish store. No issues so far. It has 1 year warranty too, so any hardware defect still up for exchange.

Thanks for replying! May I know if it is a 17"? I think 13" or 15" or retina's are safe as other people shared that they almost look brand new cosmetically...I'm just wondering if it is the same experience for 17"..I'm kinda a fuzzy buyer, so I would want a 17" in pristine shell and working condition.

Bought a 15' model. Exterior looks as good as new.
