The Apple Store again discounts a selection of factory-refurbished 2013 MacBook Pro laptops with prices starting at $1,659, as listed below. With free shipping, that's tied with prices we've seen for these three models over the past two months, and each is at the lowest total price we've seen for these systems with a 1-year Apple warranty (the same as new units). (For further comparison, each model is at least $41 and as much as $131 under the best price we could find for used or new units elsewhere.) The deals:

• Refurb MacBook Pro ME664LL/A Ivy Core i7 Quad 2.4GHz 15.4" Retina for $1,659
• refurb MacBook Pro ME665LL/A Core i7 Quad 2.7GHz 15.4" Retina for $2,169
• refurb MacBook Pro G0PZ0LL/A Core i7 Quad 2.8GHz 15.4" Retina for $2,459
