If I return a rMBP will it be sold as refurbished?

The first part of my post was the citation. The second part was the quote from the article. I never claimed that the eHow statement was a legal citation.

Whoa... now you've got me.

When one posts a code section followed by text, one assumes that is the text... you know... from the actual code! eHow? Really?

I read that opinion completely. Sony stated very specific procedures that the FTC reviewed and based their opinion on. Absent such procedures, the opinion would have been different. There is no such indication that all other companies have the same procedures in place or would have the same outcome.

So you still really honestly believe after reading the USC (the actual code not eHow) and reading the FTC policy, and also reading the Sony guidance, that Apple would be violating 15 U.S.C. § 45 by putting sealed, unopened product back up for sale when it is returned? Yes or no question.

You know what, on second thought. Don't answer. You will just try and twist the question around rather than admit you were mistaken.

That is not a citation. You posted text from an URL="http://www.ehow.com/list_6910926_consumer-laws-refurbished-goods.html"]eHow article[/URL] word for word.

That's impressive. His usual M.O. is to post just the link, not the full-blown copypasta.

Unless Apple demonstrated that they had the same or similar procedures in place as Sony cited, yes.

As I predicted. Nice try.

Your post proves the very point I was making. Warranty commences on the date of purchase (in your case, the dishonestly claimed date of purchase), and is not based on when you first boot up your computer.

that's because i turned off the internet

That is irrelevant. Warranty begins on purchase date, even if you never boot up or never access the internet.

i honestly don't mean this in an insulting way, but why do you have to reply within minutes to every post/thread made? there's a life outside of your computer if you didn't know.

you seem like one of those people i'm gonna end up finding dead in their apartment while on duty because they didn't leave their chair and forgot to eat.

Are you an algorithm? Watson 2.0? If so, I'm impressed! You passed the Turing test!

you couldn't be anymore wrong dude.

the warranty doesn't start until you boot up the machine.

By Apples warranty agreement, the warranty actually starts on your purchase date. If you've found some way around that, cool. Unfortunately, if for some reason Apple requested to see your receipt, they would be within their rights to adjust your warranty back to the correct date.

either way, apple makes these machines and they can reset the warranty to whatever they feel like.

Apple does have the ability to reset warranties, but there is a 90 or 120 day time limit they impose on this(it has been a few years since I have filled out one of these forms, I can't remember specifics). Usually stores like Best Buy or Fry's Electronics use this method to sell "Open box" Macs with a full warranty.

I haven't worked for Apple, but I have worked for a reseller. I imagine Apple has a different policy in place, something along the lines of: Open box > send to refurbishing.
