The eBay machines are now $650, not $500. Given how quickly they were vanishing, I guess supply and demand rules apply.
This is the Mid 2011 model. refurb not performed by Apple. Still a great price but a little too good to be true
It’s the top-of-the-range 2011 model though, so it’s only a shade slower than the current entry level for practical purposes and physically indistinguishable. The big loss is battery life: five hours, if the battery is still at maximum capacity, versus nine hours now.
Had it been 2011 entry level versus current entry level things wouldn’t have looked so good.
