Yes, there is a list on the Apple website of exactly what Mac support
Mountain Lion, and there are sure plenty that were released prior to 2011.
Unless things have changed, there is a 90 day warranty on refurbished Macs.
I have bought, at least, 3 of them in my time, and I never had any issues
using them. In fact, if you catch the right deal, you can save 200 to 300
dollars on a model.
