Hi Guys,

Just taking a gander at the apple store on refurbed macbooks when I noticed the below price anomaly. Seems the slower/less featured macbook is more expensive ? How could this be ? Is the slower macbook a "new" (older unsold stock) they are getting rid of ? The higher specced machine is a"genuine" refurb ? I suppose the only real way to find out is to call Apple Store and ask, I guess.

Heres a quick copy from the web site.

Just call me curious...............

Cheers

Yeah sounds like a stuff up to me.

The 2.16 is a MacBook (Mid 2007) (MB062LL/A) model while...

The 2.0 model is a MacBook (Late 2006) (MA700LL/A) model.

Get the better specced out one for less, of course. More hard disk and double layer burner and faster CPU.

Just bought the Mac for $1519, didn't make sense to me either, better mac book for $10 cheaper.

It arrived today!!! Wow what an amazing piece of art. It amazing what apple can do with a computer, had never owned an apple until a few months ago when i bought two imac g4's off ebay. Now i have 3 and i feel thats just the begining.

I see they have the same mac book back in the store.

Ah - thats cool - I was gonna order one--- until my wife broke a tooth and needs a crown..... $1300 !!!!! So i am gonna put my mac book hankering on hold for a while.... waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh !! :-(

Shit I'll pull it out for $500
