Hey Doug:
I think you probably mean one of these (psst - there is no portable imac):

A refurbed MacBook would be a great option. Save the $200 bucks.
Or maybe one of these:

I do not have a lot of experience with the MacBook Air, refurbed, or otherwise. Personally, from a user and financial perspective, I'd go with the MacBook.
I m fairly confident that AppleCare Pam mentions is available on refurbed MacBooks (it is on refurbed iPhones) so I would absolutely purchase it.
Here is a link to AppleCare FAQ\'S....\'d call or visit a local store and ask. Hope this helps.
