I'm after a refurbished Macbook Pro (and not a MacBook Air) and wondering where the best spot to get them in terms of refurbished quality is?

Apple Certified Refurbished?

  Yea have looked there and probably should add to the posts description bit I'm a smallish budget (max $1300) and the Apple certified refurbished products are not that cheap by comparison to new unused models.

    Why not just get a new one then? You regularly see 10% off Macs at JB etc, + combine with TRS and you'll be sitting pretty.

Just pick a good 2nd hand machine with low battery cycles and save yourself a lot of money. eBay, gumtree, Facebook. Just hold out for a good deal.
Any sort of offical refurbishment is a rip off, unofficial refurbishment is a big market, but they are simply 2nd hand Macs with maybe new batteries and possibly more repairs if required.
I know because i refurb Macs on the side :P

  So what's a good amount of battery cycles to be classified as "low?"
