A 2017 laptop that's significantly less processing power than their new phones (and still more expensive, even with the refurb discount).
What kind of upside down world are we living in?

$200 OFF a used and repaired computer is not really a 'good deal'.
And I wouldn't buy any portable computer with less than 1 TB storage, and much less if it only has that crappy Intel HD Graphics garbage video chip.
Good for you.

Still rocking my 2012 MacBook Pro with 8 gb of ram and an upgraded 1tb SSD, it has every port you need.
Oh, not to mention a superdrive :D

In an age where people read single miss representing tech articles (from yesterday) that improperly compared the two. It's true the phones are getting pretty powerful, but part of that is due to the amazing optimization of the iOS with their chips. If you imported OSx to the phone, the numbers wouldn't even come close.
P.S. I'm also not tech savvy enough to explain the full difference
Don't forget the part where lots of people can't see past their own usage model & priorities to understand that some things are designed and marketed towards different usage models and priorities. :)

better to buy it brand new, never used before
*shrug* Each to their own. I've bought several different apple refurbs over the years. Everything has been completely indistinguishable from brand new. The only differences were the box they came in and of course the price. Same warranty. Can't really see why someone would want to pay more. But whatever works for ya I guess.

Alternative reality just like back to the future.

Hope Apple will release the MacBook pro without touch bar same powerful as the touch bar model. Currently you can’t configure better hardware for the non touch bar model. I just don’t care about that touch bar.
