Get 'em before they're gone

Get 'em before they're gone.

Snagged a 21.5" iMac for $999.

Apple updates the refurb store frequently. There might be dozens of them today but tomorrow they are likely gone but wait few days and there are more

[unamused]

just checked, only 1, and it was a c2d... darn..


im waiting for all those yellow tinge returns to pop up.... looking for a i7

[banya95]

I am looking for an i5 myself.

[rnelan7]

How much do you think the i5's and i7's will run for? I'm purchasing an iMac this summer, a long ways off I know, but I should probably assume refurb prices will be the same or no?

Edit: I'll be buying around early August, will a refreshed line be out by then?

i5 will probably be around 1700$ as the discount is usually between 12 to 15 percents and and it would be exactly 15% if it's gonna be 1699$. i7, I guess is going to be around 1850$

There will likely be an update before August though, so it's impossible to say now :cool:

Thanks for the info, I will be patiently waiting and observing in the meantime.

I wouldn't touch any of the new iMac refurbs, since we don't know...and apparently apple doesn't know, either...what is wrong with the displays.

i wouldnt touch them... yet. but at the same time.. the refurbs have the same warranty as the retail models.

No they have not shown up yet.

[Jaro65]

Dang it. All gone now.

[talmy]

When i5's appear, they are $1699 -- http://store.apple.com/us/product/FB953LL/A?mco=MTU0Mzg0NTQ

I haven't seen an i7 appear yet.

A few for the UK store http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/imac

Refurb is probably not a bad idea, I bet they all get a far more thorough check than the ones new off the line.

[tkboss88]

can you get apple care on the refurbs??

[crut]

Yes.

Refurb is probably not a bad idea, I bet they all get a far more thorough check than the ones new off the line.

Based on the stories of a few coming through with no OS installed I might question that. Still, it's a nearly new Mac with full warranty. However with the current issues do you want someones reject?

[Milty77]

I checked the Irish site and there is 1. Its a 27" c2d and it was only €70 lower than a new one. Was looking for an i7 which I ordered this morning. Fingers crossed XX

Ya gotta be super quick to buy anything from the refurb section, as they disappear fast! I check it many times a day (looking for Mac Mini deals) and usually a really good deal will be gone within an hour.

The mac mini's usually seem to show up with all other "newer" additions on Monday & Tuesday mornings.

[Bitwise]

Funny thing is that the refurbs are cheaper and they are probably less flawed than the new units because they are fully tested before being released onto the market.

27-inch 3.33 just posted http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0GE0LL/A?mco=MTU0Mzg0NTU

No quad's yet.

I just checked at noon hour (EST) and there were 6 Minis (most I've ever seen at once!) in Apple Canada's refurb section, and twenty minutes later it was down to just 3. I was so tempted to pull the trigger on a 2.26ghz/2GB version for $100 off or even the more expensive 2.53ghz/4GB one for $150 off, but I know there will be more later on and money is super tight for me right now.

[FearlessFreep]

There is a 21.5 3.33GHz in there as well, though why you'd buy that at $1449 US over a 3.06GHz 27" C2D for the same price is beyond me.

And even though it says ships in 3-5 days, mine shipped the same day.

The $999 entry-level 21.5 iMac is a very good deal.

[gigabella]

I thought the same thing Patmn....almost did it but figured I'd wait. Maybe a few more months and I might pull the trigger on a 21.5 imac instead.
