I am purchasing an apple computer and I found the one I wanted at this website called Macmall.com. It has received some negative reviews and has been claimed to send defective parts, over price and when return charge a 15% percent restocking fee (that would be 300 bones in this case). I am a little nervous, and I am wondering if any of you or anyone you know has bought something here, how was the condition of the item, was it fairly priced and was there any other troubles? Also, would/could you recommend a better place to buy a refurbished, matte screen, 15' apple laptop?

Any help would get 10/10 thanks

when i proceeded to check out it said https. The "S" means secure. I think it is safe, great prices.

otherwise, in the long run buying a refurbished computer is a bad way to go through mac because you cant buy apple care which adds an extra two years to your year warranty, its better because you can get free maintenance (macs start at 75$ an hour plus parts)
i had to get my logic board replaced and sometihng else once, and it would've cost me 2000$ but i was covered. aside from that with apple care, should problems arise, after three major repairs you're supposed to get a brand spanking new computer/ipod/etc and if the newest model just came out, you will get that new model.
all shit aside, yeah, they're expensive what could go wrong? well, it's a computer, they take a beating sometimes and you never know what might need to be replaced. i stand by macs, but ive been using them for 5 years and ive had a lot of stuff to get fixed and sure am glad i never paid a dime.
