I've be eyeing the G5 Powermacs for a long time, and I had a few questions about the Refurbished models Apple sells.
1) If I buy a refurb model, does it come with the iPod Mini (since I'm a college student)? I thought it said that it did, but it's been a while since I read the fine print, and I couldn't find the link when I went to the website earlier.
2) What's the difference between the $1800 (with student discount) brand new 2.0 GHz Dual G5 and the 2 $1650 2.0 GHz Dual G5 models that Apple (U.S.) currently has listed on the Refurb store? It doesn't give full specs, so I was just wondering if there was another way to tell, by Rev. or what add-ons it lists or otherwise...
3) Anyone ever have trouble with their Refurb G5? I've seen other posts on here about various other models people have recieved with mixed results...I was curious to know if there was any stigma about G5 PMs in particular, something along the lines of the trouble some people have had with Rev. A iMac G5s.
Thanks a lot for any advice, info and/or tips anyone can offer!
