Is my iMac a refurbished iMac

Your zeal to provide assistance is appreciated, but the additional information was superfluous to the point that it knocked this thread off track. We would all have been better off if you'd simply suggested calling Apple.

I did suggest calling Apple in my very first post. You simply focused on the extra piece of information I provided rather than reading the whole post. The extra information about checking the serial number for the specs was not superfluous, but a way of determining if the specifications were the same. That would be useful even if the replacement was not a refurbished model.

The whole discussion is rather pointless, as there is no difference between a refurbished model and a new model, except for the possible presence of very minor cosmetic details.

No need to backpedal to try to save face. Just move on with life.

It's not my problem if you can't understand how looking up the specs of a replacement model can be helpful. It is not superfluous at all. Your failure to understand that doesn't render the post any less useful to those who comprehend it.

Apple can use refurbished parts for repair, but if they've replaced the whole computer - it's new.

There is no system for them to replace a computer with a refurbished one, it can only be new (note I'm only talking about computers here, iPhones/iPads/iPods are a different story).

Yeah, it was soooo useful for the OP that the OP had to post multiple more times because your initial response was unhelpful.

The specs are useless when all the OP wanted to know how to identify a refurb.

and having a pissing contest in the forums looks likes it helping.
