That or the fact that it is a Refurbished Model

Sweet as, thanks for the info Huy. So if the box is the only thing that is missing and warrants a saving of $500-ish, I think I'll take it lol.

Yeah but there is also the chance that you may get original (sealed) packaging/box, which will be exactly the same as new.

It is worth the $500 odd saving. Spend that money on AppleCare, accessories/cases, etc.

I wonder if we'll ever see unlocked refurbed iphones in the refurb store. It'd make sense that it will happen eventually.

I doubt it, I'd think that refurbished units would go back to the carriers that sent them in.

Want Apple headphones for your iPod but think $48 is too much? Get a refurb Shuffle at the same time then!

No, you do not need to be concerned about that.

so what they will giv is a brand new case ? but from wat apple's website said

What should I expect when I purchase an Apple Certified Reconditioned Product?
Substantial savings
A fully functional unit with complete documentation
The assurance that the unit meets Apple's premiere quality standards, and that its defective components have been replaced by genuine Apple components
The risk that your unit may present minor cosmetic imperfection, such as scratches, marks, discolouration, etc


correct me if i m wrong..it said it might had minor scratches?? think they should post up the pic of the product...

Yes I know about that question.

But if you read what you have pointed out and underlined is that it 'may' present minor... not that it does.

It 'might' have those things, but it also might not. Usually not. But if it does, don't beat yourself up since it's a massive saving. If you are unhappy, buy new.

Is it just me or have all the Macbooks gone from the Australian refurb store? There were a bunch only last week I thought.

Any iPod Videos 30GB under $200, or is that too wishful?

You can look yourself, you know?

The Apple Store (Australia)

There's an iPod Video 30gb for $189.

Default Get 'em while they're cheap

Almost anything Apple will be a bargain pretty soon.

But don't wait too long - with our $ at about US 63¢, even an US$800 notebook will be easily $1300 in Australia.

So just imagine (or use Currency Converter for yourself) what everything else will cost...

if you want something, get it soon, and use the MacTalk link (above).

I'd imagine the current model Macbooks will suddenly be plentiful on the refurb store after Wednesday Morning. Depending on the new models, I may still get one of the existing ones if they are cheap enough.
