    I've never read any complaints about refurbs, so I got my first one at the end of 2014.

    It's fine, but the bottom-right of the keyboard is not perfect. The arrow keys don't quite click correctly all the time. I feel like it'll last at least a year and I'll sell it and get new one, though. Saved $300, which is still pretty good. I know it has a warranty, but if I take it back and say, "See, you can tell that these keys will eventually stop working!", they'll just tell me to bring it back when it breaks.

    • Ummm, see above lol!fyoucher1
    • you could always have just told them tehy shipped a faulty keyboard when you got itmonospaced
    • also, did they tell you that last thing, are are you just assuming?monospaced
    • Yeah, the thing is, it does work, it just kind of feels weak. So it's technically not broken.nb
    • I'm definitely going to take it in before the one year warranty expires and try to get a replacement.nb
    • you should, you'd be surprised at how quick they hand over sub-$100 partsmonospaced

    • It's a macbook pro, though. You think they'll just replace it?nb
