The Apple Store continues to discount a selection of its factory-refurbished Apple MacBook Pro laptops, with prices starting at $1,099. Plus, all orders receive free shipping. Each system is covered by a 1-year Apple warranty (the same as new units). A couple of best bets, with comparisons against the best price we could find for a new unit:

• Refurb MacBook Pro i5 Dual 2.7GHz 13.3" Retina Laptop w/ 128GB SSD for $1,099 (low by $100)
• refurb MacBook Pro i5 Dual 2.6GHz 13.3" Retina Laptop w/ 256GB SSD for $1,149 (pictured, low by $100)
