Think Differentish
Ever since the Fast Company profile, a lot of people have been asking me about my business model. They say "How can you run a multi-million dollar marketing firm without ANY employees?" I tell them that I replaced all my employees with 17" MacBook Pro and never looked back.
How does it work? Marketing is all about image, and nothing says "cool" like Apple's sleek aluminum body. Turns out that all my former uber-cool young staff's one functionality, hipness, could be replaced by a bunch of machines.
Some people have decried my strategy, saying that it will kill thousands of insufferably cool jobs in New York, San Francisco, and Portland. But you can't look back at how it used to work. It's time to replace your hipster employees with Macs.
Features
- Apple Certified Refurbished includes 1 year Apple Warranty.
Apple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale.

- 4GB DDR3 RAM for multitasking power; expandable to 8GB
- 750GB SATA hard drive has plenty of space to store your digital albums, music library and rich media files
- When you need more performance for things like playing 3D games, editing HD video, or even running CAD software, the MacBook automatically switches to discrete AMD Radeon HD 6750M graphics (1GB GDDR5 dedicated) that let you see more frames per second and experience better responsiveness
- Since high-performance graphics kick in only when you need them, the battery can last up to 7 hours on a single charge
