You rolls yer dice and takes yer chances....

I would only get refurb Apple from Apple, but that is a little long in the tooth for them to have one.

At the price point I saw on Amazon though, not too much risk involved, as long as it is “newer” than whatever it replaced, I am sure you’ll be happy.

Enjoy!

Should be solid for MS Office/internet/NetflixNchill etc...

Here is a link to the full hardware specs. It also has a Firewire 800 port, and a Thunderbolt 1 port. The TB port is handy for running a second display, as it carries a DisplayPort signal.
 
The USB 2.0 ports are kind of slow for carrying data to an external hard drive, but good for accessories like a keyboard or connecting your iPhone. Firewire 800 is about twice as fast for data, and more friendly to your CPU. Email me your address, and I will instant karma you a 2.5" 500GB HDD in an external enclosure that has Firewire 800 ports. Also the power supply and a Firewire 800 cable (my last one), since I no longer own a Mac that has Firewire ports.

Hard to beat that offer!
At least your new machine has a Thunderbolt port. You can daisy-chain TB devices.

Thanks, e mail inbound.

Does anyone know if Mac's have a pre-installed program like windows movie maker which will enable you to make a video and upload it to you tube?

FireWire is also a daisy-chain bus. The enclosure I am sending him has two FireWire ports for this purpose.
