Refurb vs Education

-

hidely-ho.

i've bought refurb 2010 i7, , i'm happy got great price. however, in uk there 3 year guarantee on products bought via education online store.

refurb £1300 -- 2011 model going around £1600 after edu. discount. applecare £150 on it's own, taking purchase £1450.

in opinions, £150 better spent getting new one?
 

the exact model exact specs needed make fair comparison.

assuming both have 3yr warranty. hdd , gpu need compared. refurbs can come ram , better hdds, better gpus specced . last week got 2010 mac mini refurb store paid 2gb ram came 4 gb ram.

1 last thing 2011 has t-bolt no ones knows if t-bolt amazing innovation or ehh!
