Im having a hard choice between buying a refurb product and saving about 200 dollars before taxes, or buying a brand new 13 inch macbook pro for 1,149.99 (student discount ) vs 979 (refurb)

new

13-inch: 2.4 GHz
2.4GHz dual-core
Intel Core i5
4GB 1333MHz
500GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Built-in battery (7 hours)2

Refurbished

MacBook Pro 2.3GHz dual-core Intel i5
Originally released February 2011
13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1280-by-800 resolution
4GB (2 x 2GB) of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
320GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 384MB of DDR3 SDRAM

They are very similiar , with .1 + Ghz and a bigger hard drive with the new ones.
From what ive heard refurbs from apple have been great with no exceptions.
