Looking to save a little when I buy my iMac

are you in the uk or the us if your in the uk may be able to provide you with a link that may help ,lou

 

They don't specifically exclude models from the refurb offerings; items are only listed there as available. I would guess that there's a high probability that a few 2.8 GHz iMacs will be listed there shortly after MWSF (assuming there's an update). Expect discounts in the neighborhood of 15%.

 

I've been looking for a refurbished 2.8GHz iMac on the US Apple store for the past few months and I haven't seen one on there. Maybe they get bought the second they get put up, I don't know.

 

Check early in the morning and frequently. I've heard of people finding a Mac they want and then coming back to the site to find that it's gone.

 

have a try on this link , it should give you the 15% , but for a brand new one i picked it up on another forum

Hmm thats just a link to the Higher Education store its not a secret. You need to be in higher education to buy at those prices though.

 

If the iMac doesn't get an update at MacWorld, I'll be checking the refurb store for the 2.8 GHz iMac at 4:00 am (I'm on the eastern time zone) every morning!!!

 

1. The imac since it just was refreshed, or redone, will not have an upgrade at MacWorld. I could be wrong, but it is to soon.

2. Go to dealmac.com and see if other sellers have discounts.

3. Amazon.com has been doing $150.00 or so off on most Macs, so check them out.

I have the 2.8 24" and love it! You will be very happy with it.

 

i didnt say it was a secret, its just a way to save a little money and if you check the link it gives you access to the store, and usually unless your on an ed campus you cant usually get access, 15% is a pretty good deal better than nothing

 

If you are really trying to save money why get the 2.8 GHz processor. If you don't need the 2.8 get the 2.4. If you don't need the extra 4 inches then get the 20. Depends what you are used to and what you can handle. Is $300 worth 3 inches of space? As for the difference between the 2.8 and 2.4 processors, a bigger HDD, and a GB of RAM is it really worth $500 to you? The processor is a $250 option above the 2.4 GHz processor. The RAM is a lovely overpriced $150 option and the HDD is a $100 option for you. Why not try amazon to get $100 off, free shipping, no taxes, and the 24" model and add your own 1 GB chip. Total price: $1729. Price at the apple store for the base model is $1799 plus 107.94 tax coming to $1906.94 not including what the RAM upgrade would cost.

The 2.8 GHz model is not available on amazon right now.

 

Whoa, speak of the devil, I'm looking at the Refurb section of Apple's site now, this is the first time I've EVER seen the 2.8 ghz 24' iMac, and I've been looking every couple days for the last month or so. With 2 GB ram and a 500 GB HD, it's currently priced at $1949. I thought they were never going to offer it!

 

$350 off. Pretty good deal. That's the standard HD and RAM.

 

There is an iMac 2.8GHz Extreme on the US Apple refurb store right now!!!

Take the time to play around with the OS and to learn about it. Just make sure you backup so you don't screw something up though. Congratulations on the purchase. It's going to be a blazing computer.
