I bought a Refurbished 15 inch Powerbook, 1.67GHz G4. Shipped Next day. And total was $1,735.39

I get it and i ordered it with a 80GB HDD. And got 100GB instead.

I ordered it with 512MB of ram. and it has 1GB, and its not 2x512MB its 1x1GB.

So i want to personally THANK Apple so much for this!

My first brand new mac and I LOVE IT!

Build To Order.

A similar, though no where near as cool, thing happened when I ordered my 12" Powerbook refurbished. It was only supposed to come with 256 megs of RAM, but when I powered it up and opened System Profiler, it had 640!

This happend to me a couple of years ago too. I bought a Refurb 15" Powerbook that was supposed to have a Combo drive, but instead had a Superdrive. I was so happy because I wanted a Superdrive, but all I could afford was the Combo model.

You know SOS, that bloke down the pub probably wasn't an authorised Apple reseller....

Kraetos · 2006-02-13, 18:47

Something similar happened to me: my PB G4 1GHz had a hard drive failure, so I shipped it to Apple.

It came back with an 80GB drive (up from 60) and a SuperDrive (up from a combo). They replaced the scratched case and the scratched screen too.

Gotta love AppleCare.

12volt · 2006-02-14, 12:48

me too i bought a refurb imac just before xmas 2005 should have been 1.7ghz and 160gig hd but when it turned up it was new with a 2ghz processor and a 250gb hd what a result !!!!

Is that the long way of saying that you got a new PowerBook?

PowerDrift · 2006-02-15, 15:12

My Power Mac G5 Dual 2 Ghz Refirb. came with 1 GB RAM instead of 512 mb

Sounds more like he got someone else's PowerBook. Right now someone is on the phone with Apple saying "But my PowerBook had an 80GB HDD AND a Superdrive! Where did all these scratches come from as well!"
