i've talked about it before but maybe 6 or 7 months ago i bought a refurb 24" imac from the apple site. when it showed up the only way i would have known it was NOT brand new was the box it came in. it was mint. knock on wood but i haven't had one single problem with it since i bought it. i maxed out the ram thanks to crucial.com and ordered cs3 for 1/2 off online. it's been a super machine and is lighthing fast.
the company i work for now buys all refurb mbp's and they all run like crap, but all of us who use them are 100% positive it's because the pc i.t. based department set it up. case in point: when i got my machine i only had 10gb left on my hard drive. each time a new person got the machine the installed the same software each time for the new user. i had three versions of windows xp, parallels and cs3 on this thing. it was an abomination. but a few months ago we had an apple tech in who completely reworked our machines. the first day he started going through them he comes over and goes "no fucking way... you guys did this to mess with me right..."
i'm babbling. sorry. short story long refurbs are better tested and come with the same warranty. do it.
