Hey there, We use macbook pros and airs. I like the pro better because even portable it gets hit (lightly) every once in awhile. The air didn't fare so well. Love my macbook pro 15.4" it's a 2011 model and have had to replace a logic board. I don't know about refurbished. But I have bought things from Mac Authority used and they have done really well.
Hope that helps.

Debating between an older refurbished unit versus new. Something in the 13"-15" range. It will be really only be used for coding through Xcode, Python, a text editor, etc. Basically what I use my iMac for, just portable. What do people think of the older MacBook Air versus a MacBook Pro? Would the smaller SSD be an issue? I don't believe I need a SuperDrive. I barely use the one on my iMac. Since this is mostly for play, not a professional yet, I have been leaning toward one of the 13" MacBook Air with 4gb memory and 128gb SSD. What do people think?
