Nah, they're like factory-approved second hand cars. You can buy them at a dealership, they've had the full 128 point or whatever it is inspection, they come with a guarantee but they aren't new. They're cheaper cause they may have some cosmetic imperfections or they're older models.

I dare say most of these refurbs will be in the "minor cosmetic scratches" category - they're the ones people sent back and Apple has done a quick once-over to make sure they work and are now reselling them at a lower profit margin.
