[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1523938, member: 56379"] Not with Apple refurbished products. In almost all cases that I've heard of...the product looks just like brand new. The only diference is it comes in a "plain brown box" instead of the "fancy" box with the Apple graphics.:) Same return policy...same 12 months of included Applecare. I'm not 100% sure of the refurbished model you are thinking of. But if you are only saving $200...it better be pretty close in specs to one of the latest models you were initially considering. For me...saving $200 on a new/refurbished computer that costs around $1800 (+/-) may not be enough to go refurbished. If you were going to go with the example I listed ($1359)...then that would be a nice savings over the $2000 model (as long as you were ok with the specs of the $1359 model). Just food for thought.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
