I have $1299 to spend on a new 'book. Should I get a refurb PB (1.67 GHz) or a refurb Macbook Core Duo (2.0 GHz)?

I mostly do web-based apps (GoogleApps, Safari), spreadsheets, iMovie and iTunes.

Thank you for your advice.

What about a refurb macbook pro? I see them for $1299-$1399 on the Apple site all the time for a 15.4". I would definitely put my cash into an Intel based machine, at this point.
