[QUOTE="whylimes, post: 1350205, member: 231836"] Hello! First post in here :) I am getting myself an iMac for my birthday at the end of this month. I am thinking about getting it refurbished since this seems like the best way to go and the student discount only gets me $50 off. I'm getting the 21.5 cheapest option, if that is useful to know. I know it comes with the Magic Mouse, as do all in-store purchases of the iMac. I've read about some being able to switch out the Mouse for the Trackpad, some who get the Trackpad thrown in for free, and some who just have no luck at all (this is usually me). So my question is, if I order my iMac and choose the "Pick-up" method, do you think that a Genius may still either let me switch the Mouse or even throw in the Trackpad for free? Or is this just a courtesy those who buy new get, which I'd understand, I guess. I want to know if it would be worth waiting 2-3 days later to get my iMac in-store to try this (and also at risk of looking like a cheapo carrying around the battered up box refurbs come in, heaven forbid! in the hoidy-toidy mall I live by). Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
