Good price, for the upgraded version and saving £100 off the Apple price, plus 3 year warranty seems like a no brainer from me

Personally think you're better off getting the new macbook. The retina display on it's own justifies the extra £150

I just don't like the idea of having to use an adapter to plug anything in except the charger, at least this has 2 usb ports

The performance of this will be much better than that new MacBook, however.

Performance is on par with a (high end) 2011 MacBook Air though. 13" Pro is the best option.

Not bad, you could buy the last years 8gb i5 Retina MacBook Pro for £980 with 256gb SSD On apples refurbished web site, that seems a better deal, the screen alone is worth an extra £80.

Hey I need your advice, reading your comment I think I have made a terrible mistake. I have purchased a late 2013 October mac. Which means it is less than 1.5 years old. The specs are as follows:
- i5 Haswell 2.4GHZ
-8GB
-256GB
I paid £570 for it. It was refurbished. It works perfectly. It was cheaper than every other model of the same type going on eBay and various other websites including apple reseller ones. Sure it doesn't come with 3 years warranty but its covered under my household insurance anyways. The only thing is it didn't come with a box and has an american keyboard.
My friends say I got a bloody good deal as lesser specs are fetching more on eBay but I am not so sure. Advice needed please. Anyone?

The pro is also heavier on the other hand.
I picked the 13" air instead of the Pro because it is much lighter.

all apple had to do was add retina to the air.

If you want a Mac then keep it and use it is my advice.

Yeah but did I get a good deal for the specs?

Just for the record the SSD drive makes such a difference, this is about 3x the speed of my imac just cos of the drive

Which is worth about £5... even if Apple will lie to you that it's worth more...
