You can buy refurbished Macs from the Apple Store online or you can buy refreshed Macs from the brick and mortar Apple stores. If you want Leopard packaged with your new iMac, you will need to wait until it is released to buy. Apple will make sure it is included.

So basically the only way to to get a refurbish mac is to buy it online from the Apple store. that sucks.

No Apple stores often have refreshed but refurbished will only be through the online Apple store or by calling the 800 #.

Who did you expect to refurbish an Apple computer besides Apple? Or are you saying that you want a refurbished computer from your local Apple store? Since the refurbishing is not done locally it only makes sense to sell them from a central source.

Just online. They say they have "refreshed" products which may be similar but they're not the refurbished ones that Apple sells on their website.
