    Where did you get it?

    Apple and Best Buy often let you return it within 30 days for an EXCHANGE.

    I'm almost positive, for Apple, it's a two week grace period.
    For Best Buy, I don't know.
    Hope that helps.

    Got it online from Apple. Actually, got it yesterday and today the hard drive crashed. They are sending a replacement. I understand the 14 day return period would start on the day I receive it. Just wondering if the 14 days now start when I receive my replacement.

    Thanks everyone for your responses. So here's my dilemma now. As I said, my newly arrived iMac died the following day. Apple just sent me the RMA and the replacement should ship in 1-3 days. In light of the rumors of the new iMac in a few weeks, would I be able to have Apple hold off on sending me a replacement or should I just go ahead and receive it and if the new ones are released within the 14 day return period (and the redesign is significant enough), return it. Although at that point I may get the 10% restocking fee.
    What do you all think?

    I think that if you can wait, especially a few weeks, then return it and wait. You have a legitimate reason to return and full right of return, this other information would just have pushed you over to that side, it's really your business why. Better to be safe than sorry IMO.
