Does anybody know if it's possible to buy a refurbished computer at an Apple Store? I don't mean the virtual store, I mean at the physical stores.

: Refurbished equipment at Apple Stores? moonsocket Jun 16th, 2006, 06:40 PM From what Ive heard on ehmac they have refurbs at the end of month sale. Not sure about other times though. go_habs Jun 16th, 2006, 07:37 PM They sell apple refreshed items every last friday of each month at yorkdale and i belive the eaton center apple store. rondini Jun 17th, 2006, 06:06 AM Refurbs a better choice than a refreshed item. As has been covered here frequently. gmark2000 Jun 17th, 2006, 10:11 PM My definition: Refreshed is a re-boxed, open-box returned item that may simply have been cleaned-up by the Apple Store technicians. Refurbished is as above, but also whatever was malfunctioning has been repaired/replaced by an Apple Service technician. maximusbibicus Jun 17th, 2006, 10:12 PM My definition: Refreshed is a re-boxed, open-box returned item that may simply have been cleaned-up by the Apple Store technicians.

HowEver Jun 17th, 2006, 11:01 PM Well put. I'd put my money towards a refurb. So you'd rather have a computer that for certain had a problem rather than one that never has? rondini Jun 18th, 2006, 06:08 AM refurb vs refresh i think he was saying. If you read up on what Apple means by refurb you will see that in may ways it's a better deal than even buying new. As has been mentioned before on this board, you will sometimes get a machine that is actually above the spec in RAM or HD for instance. Also machine has been 100 % checked out vs a factory quickie!! http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/EducationIndividualCanadaCustom.woa/6334006/wo/HF22em5shF613Vmuk26gHHBVnXK/0.PSLID?mco=38F1C3D2&nclm=SpecialDeals click on the refurb link.
