We're gonna get a refurb MacBook Pro from the Apple store and I wanna know if I can swap the bigger HD and better video card from the new one to my old one, since my wife doesn't care about that stuff.

There are NO notebook refurbs of any kind on the Apple Online store. Only a Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server, and several models of iMacs and Mac Pros.
