[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 374571, member: 26695"] Yea, it really depends how many they have in stock. I purchased a refurb. Intel Macbook 13" back in November and didn't have a problem with it. I sold it in February for the refurb. 20" Intel iMac and haven't had any problems with this computer either. They back up their refurbished products with the same warranty as a new item. I wouldn't worry about picking one up. My only concern is this... If you are in no rush to pickup a new mac, wait till OS X 10.5 comes out. I think it works a lot nicer (not that there are any problems with 10.4.9 on an Intel Mac) but the new OS should unleash it's true power. If you wait, it should be a free upgrade instead of picking up a retail copy for $129. 10.5 should be out in May I believe?? That refurb. list changes all the time. You might find one at a nicer price. I wouldn't pick it up because of the extra $100 for the extra 512 RAM. I would assume you'd upgrade the RAM anyways and that extra RAM upgrade now would be worthless. I purchased 1GB stick for $89 anyways. Upgrading through Apple is expensive! The iMac is a nice computer though. Once you've had Mac, you'll never go back. Peace, Bryan [/QUOTE]
