I gotta agree on the price. I was all set to buy a new Macbook Pro 13' refurb from Apple when I checked Dell and saw their March deals. It was a tough decision, but in the end I just couldn't justify spending $1000 on a Macbook Pro 13' when I could get what surpassed a $2,200 Macbook Pro 15' from Dell for well under half the price. Sure the build quality and customer support isn't the same (in my experience), but that's the one sacrifice I make for a lot of gain.

Good news! My 1558 just rolled over to 'shipped'. Still no tracking number or anything yet, but it's looking like I might get it before April 5th after all.
