not sure how reliable they are..havent really found a good enough deal to buy a refurb
Refurbs directly from Apple come with the same warranty and you save a good chunk of the price. I've had my Mini for 8 or 9 months now, and saved about $200 on it. If something is wrong with it, take it back and have it fixed. Get the AppleCare warranty and it's like you got the warranty for free. Then your 3 years with piece of mind.
On a desktop, I agree. On a laptop, it's a must. Too many parts can be affected by the constant movement of the machine. Not to mention how many things can affect the screen.
Comments
anyone?
You may want to check MacMall. I've never ordered there, but if you need any of the extras that these come with, it may be worth it.

Makes sense.
I found on ecost.com a 2.0ghz/1gb sddr2/80gb hd/superdrive dvd-r - $1266
Anyone think there is a better deal out there?
I assuming that's a new machine, no? Have you considered refurbs?

I also think warranty program's are overrated.
