Does anyone know how long it usually takes for an Apple product/upgrade launch to make it's way to the refurbished store? I'm wanting to pick up the new i7 15", but considering how every refurb I've ever received from Apple has been no different than brand-new, and due to the massive price difference, I want to buy this system (obviously, lol) in the Refurbished Store.
 
According to previous threads, it takes at least two months, but more like three/four months for new models to appear in the refurbished section.
 
In the beginning of May they should begin showing up.

You might want to check in the morning and act quickly when they do.

You are right, refurb is the way to go to save money.
