Why not get a refurbished MacBook Air 11"[1] which is guaranteed to work?

Guaranteed to work, really? I guess no Macs are in for service, ever? My rMBPs, 13" and 15", have been in for service numerous times.

I’m looking forward to see how many times my new pre-ordered MBP 2016 will need to be serviced.

Meanwhile, I would bet good money that my two hackintosh systems will keep running.

Not the OP but I am a musician. You'd fill up an Air drive in minutes with audio files and samples, presumably.

OP here, the thing I was working on was only 64GB, so that wasn't it. The real reason was price and size. This was even smaller than an Air at less than 1/2 the price.
