Mac Mini and iMac Product Part Numbers? Available Tomorrow?

ok...

How can you return something purchased on amazon to apple...return it to amazon.

WTF are you talking about?

Why not do it and get a new imac with better specs?

Why wouldn't the SKU match and why wouldn't i give them a SKU? I have my receipt. Man you guys need to read instead of skim through posts. I still have not received a answer to a simple question. Where are you getting this from? :confused:

I will just wait and see if they are released and call Apple to get a straight answer or google it.

I bought a imac five days ago. I plan on returning it upon release of the new imacs which is my right given I am within the fourteen day window. I will package it up as new with receipt, if they ask it I opened it, I will tell them yes. If they don't ask, I will not tell them. Nothing underhanded going on here.

Do they let you trade it for a new one less the restocking fee if there is one, or do they let you return the one you bought with a restocking fee, and you purchase a new one. Not a hard question.

How is this confusing?

Is the 10% only for the macs? I bought a printer with my mac about a month ago along with the HP wireless printer , which is garbage, and took the printer back today and purchased the cannon MP620 and only paid the $20 difference in the price of the printer I did not pay a restocking fee. I had opened the box and only returned it with about half of the packaging and did not give much of a reason other than I thought the HP was garbage and I wanted a better printer...

Very cunning. If you pull it off, it's even better than just fooling the Apple employee – it also dupes the next buyer who thinks he is buying a brand new computer but is in fact buying one you've had a good fiddle with.
What a good ruse!
It's already March. So maybe the next buyer will open his "new" machine on April Fool's Day. That would be the icing on the cake.

All Imacs that are returned are resold as refurbished, opened or not. They are checked, and wiped before being resold. So that would never happen.

Or the Macbook Pro... weird.

Ohhhh I'm excited! They're getting case updates or something (probably not the MBP) if they're changing they're thumbnails for that picture.

Must have been a fluke or Apple messing around because it's back to normal, but I swear when you went there the scrolling product selector didn't let you choose anything but the first screen of products. I refreshed a few times to make sure it wasn't Flash partially loading. Weirdness.

The scroll bar at the bottom was busted for a little while. They fixed it pretty fast, or it was a weird bug.

Same.
Except it's not written in flash.

I think they just throw printers in the bin. How much can one cost? They are giving them away free with every purchase right now.
 
Do any of you guys think that the Mac Pro might be updated tomorrow or does this happen on March 24th event?

Nope, not Flash. Doesn't need to be when you can use web standards to get the same functionality. Besides, Flashblock would've blocked it if it was. :D

Bah, Jimmy beat me to it...
 
The iMac sounds largely the same as the current one.

I guess none of Intel's newer CPUs were a good fit.

The Pro products tend to appear a few weeks after refreshes of consumer products. I'd say March 24 is likely for the Mac Pro. They can't put the Mac Pro, Mac Mini and the iMac on the front page of apple.com.....can they?

What it is is Gizmodo once again trying to get click throughs. They do it all the time. It could be anything.

Excuse the ignorance, what are they trying to do? Get traffic by playing something like that on their website? Am I going to find out tomorrow that it's a new desk or something...
 
Um, Tallest. Have you seen this:

The Mac Pro will come in eight-core configurations from 3.0GHz to 3.6GHz and 16-core configurations in 3.6GHz and 4.0GHz flavors, and it sounds like it's going to be even funkier on the video tip -- our tipster says it has two regular DVI ports and a mini DisplayPort. Sure, okay. It's also apparently a bit lighter than the current model, at 35 pounds instead of 42.

16-freaking cores. That's nuts.

EDIT: I saw your post there. My bad.

I'm reminded of this:
Soon the helpful Apple Store fellow arrived and I told him I would take one of his finest Mac Pros. He asked me if I was buying it for a business and I said, ‘Nope! It is just for me!’ He looked a little surprised and asked if I did any really intense computing to which I replied, "I do encounter Flash on the net from time to time."

That whole post is pretty funny, if you're up late waiting for the site to possibly go down.

Yeah, well there is absolutely not one single piece of flash on the Apple website though.

It's confusing because you bought it from Amazon.... and when returning products at retail stores, there inventory is tracked by the SKU on the box. Apple doesn't put the same SKU on the ons they give to Amazon or any other store, so they will know that it came from Amazon.

They will also know that you opened it without having to ask you. They will just tell you that you have to pay a restocking fee.

You could be an @$$hole (not calling you one, just saying that you COULD be one if....) and whine about it and make a scene to not pay the restocking fee, but there will be no tricking the employees.....

Unless you get the one that doesn't give a f*(* like the guy I work with. :D

p.s. YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO AMAZON! THEN GET REFUNDED YOUR MONEY FROM THEM.

Nope. He can't win at all. The computer CANNOT be sold as new if it is returned, and since this is the case, they have to open it to put everything in a refurb box to ship out. When they open it, they'll be able to tell that it has been retaped, and he'll be charged with fraud.
Click to expand...

It won't even go that far Tallest. They won't take it back as a not opened item, it's very easy to tell if something has been opened, even if it's carefully opened and then put back together again.

He will either....... wait..... he bought it from Amazon!

He will HAVE to take it back to Amazon.

GeekLawyer said:
The confusion might arise from the fact that you bought it from Amazon. Which, I would assume, means that you must return it to Amazon and not to Apple, from whom you did not purchase the machine.
Click to expand...

Yes it does. Not only that but the questions is weird: "Hey, I bought this machine 5 days ago from Amazon and opened it, can I just tape the box up and return it to Apple and get all my money back? Or will they just give me a store credit? :confused:
