The Apple Store continues to discount a selection of its factory-refurbished Apple MacBook Pro laptops, with prices starting at $829. Plus, all orders receive free shipping. Each is covered by a 1-year Apple warranty (the same as new units). A couple of best bets, compared to the best prices we could find for new units:

• Refurb MacBook Pro i5 Dual 2.6GHz 13.3" Retina Laptop for $979 (pictured, low by $100)
• refurb MacBook Pro i7 Quad 2.7GHz 15.4" Retina Laptop w/ 16GB RAM for $1,999 ($800 off)
