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 the prices we saw last month 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 $91 and as much as $131 under the best price we could find for 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
