I am thinking on getting an Apple Refurbished MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Early 2013. Does anyone know if or have you successfully tested that the MacBook Pro 15" Retina Display Late 2013 Wireless AC card will work?
Is this a good question?

Well you could review this thread Will it work? As you can see there is a bit of debate on the subject ;-}
To start with the part is still not available and I don't think it will be for quite sometime as Apple will eating everyone that comes off the assembly line.
OK, So lets say you got one, the next issue is the antennas within your system will need to be the same as the newer models which just by looking at the tear downs I don't think they are. So that will crimp the throughput.
Next, Do you really need that kind of throughput? Most of us just don't have internet connections that could even push 1/2 as much down. Now, if you had your own server to access then you might but that also means your server is setup to offer out that much of a stream. Again, most of us just don't have RAIDED systems that could do this.
Don't get me wrong here. In the future we will likely have this level of throughput but thats still a good five years away. Bottom-line here save your money.

I often buy Apple refurbished systems myself. Unless you really need or want the very latest it's a great way to save money!
