I was just wondering, does anyone know how long it normally takes after new Airs get released, until they show up in the refurb store?

I was thinking of getting an 11" again for on the road as I have to travel a lot more for work these days. But as it's purely for that purpose, I don't want to spend too much on it. It's been 2 months tomorrow so I hope they will arrive soon.
 
the better question is what sort of discount will you actually get by buying a refurb. I would say $150 max. Being back to school you can likley get that on a new model right now and not have to wait

Why not just buy a brand new 11 inch 2013 MacBook Air from Best Buy for $849?
 
Theirs no specific time frame, just once all those people on YouTube are done doing their reviews and coincidently come to the conclusion that a MacBook Air/Pro/iMac is "just not for them" and eventually send it back for a refund, Apple will have a sufficient inventory of refurbished MacBook Air to sell online.

I wish I could but I'm not in the US :) Here in Ireland there are no deals like that.

Also thanks about the back to school idea but I'm not a student. Not sure if I could still get the gift card but I don't really have a use for one.

Last year's June 1st announce, refurb avail Sept 15.

Thanks!! That was just what I was looking for! This year the announcement was on 10 June so I'm hoping for mid September based on this.
 
Yeah, but you have free healthcare...:)

That is a bonus, I have been in and out of hospital over the past 5 years alot and been on a shed load of meds, I looked online and for me to buy the tablets I'm taking everyday (currently free) it would be costing me just under $1000 a month! :O

However disregard my health, I want shiney toys :)
