How long do you think it will take for the returns to hit the stores?

[Dubba]

I'd decided that I was going to buy a 1.2/512 to replace my 2011 12MBA when I visit the US in late April.

With lots of people talking about trying and returning, I thought maybe a refurb might make sense.

So, a few questions:

1. How long do you think it will take for MB refurbs to appear on the Apple Store website?
2. Based on past experience, what kind of discount do you think there will be?
3. Are refurbs only available in-store or can one get them ar their local Apple store?
4. im presuming the warranty / AppleCare will be the same?

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

The usual time seems to be around three months, so probably July, at least in the US. In the US, you can only order them online, but you can have them shipped to a store. Warranty is the same.

Thanks for the quick response. I guess I'll be ordering mine on April 10th then, for collection when I arrive on the 29th!
