For all of you waiting, the refurb shop now has refurb MacBooks. Just thought I'd shout that out for you.

The BlackBooks showed up a day or two ago, but the white offerings are new. At least the estimated shipping times (7-10 days) have come down. When I looked yesterday the estimated ship time was 30 days.
I picked up a customer return at the Apple store last night. They gave me 10% off the regular price which worked out to 109.05 off the base model. For higher models you'd get a better break (200) from ordering online with Apple. |

I still find the US store's prices ridiculously cheap - why would you guys even need a refurb when you can get a MacBook for $1099?
I always think that refurbs are a bit icky too. |

As far as not all new laptops not being inspected before packaging, it is common in industry to only select a statistical sample of product from each manufacturing run and test for defects. If the factory had to completely test each and every item rolling off the line, costs would skyrocket. Think of it this way, if every single MacBook was tested and inspected, do you think there would ever be a DOA computer shipped (excepting shipping accidents of course)? |
