But the problem would be the software (parallels), not the computer and the hardware itself. If you used bootcamp you would be at full speed. The macbook pro was once even the fastest windows laptop.

That is good, I looked into that too, but refurbs will save you a lot more money.
Also according to apple's refurbishing policy they remove and replace any component that was negatively changed by the previous owner. ex: They would replace a scratched or chipped casing.
Basically you would be buying something as good as new. |
