Hi all

I see that Apple Nz has one Macbook Air on refurbished but I barely have exp with refurbished good. I search the forum but no luck with hit (mainly talking about ipod refurbished)

Anyway, if I get a refurbished macbookair and I found a problem, would they swap a new one for me?

Cheers

Thank Eidorian, so if my refurbished macbookair is defective when it arrives, I am able to get a brand new macbookair as a replacement ? and when they said refurbished does it mean the product is damaged ?

Refurbished Macs get sent back for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it might be a hardware problem and others it might just be a return for refund.

If you find a defect with your refurbished MacBook Air you'll get another refurbished one as a replacement.

Of course, I was dreaming about it !!! But in Nz once they sell the refurbished item, it never comes back its like they have only one refurbished item in stock. How weird
 
Ohh and if I got the refurb item and I am not happy with it would I be able to get a refund ?
 
I have a day-old refurb MacBook Pro. If it hadn't come in the brown box, I wouldn't have known it wasn't brand new.

There's a teensy, about .2mm separation in the case, which I noticed because I am obsessive about these things, but for all intents and purposes it's a new machine. coconutBattery tells me it's five weeks old, and I believe it. Acts like a brand new machine.

Buying refurbished is the best choice one can make; it's a great way of getting a great computer in great condition for a great price. It's great.
