I don't believe you're "taking a chance " the law says these cannot be sold as new, otherwise I suspect many of them could/would be.Ģ. These machines are thoroughly gone over, and I suspect the odds of getting a machine without issues is better with a refurb than a new one, which has not been inspected to the same degree (as ds alluded to near the end of his post).ġ. It may not have had a problem to begin with (see my previous post)Ģ. If you want to take that the refurbished chance and live close to a AppleStore, then buy a refurbished one and save some money.ĭs, sorry, but I must respectfully disagree with a couple of points in order to clarify for others:ġ.
Some could argue that the refurbished ones are better because someone went over the machine carefully to make sure it does work, that would imply most from the factory were defective, and if so, then it wouldn't make a good choice to buy anything from Apple.

Usually if that's the case the customer just avoids the entire series altogether. The only benefit to a refurbished machine is if a series from the factory were produced with errors and the refurbished ones repaired that. When refurbished, it's worked on, diagnosed, disassembled etc which varies in behavior, worker attention to detail and steps, which allows for more errors to be introduced. In the factory, a set of steps are used over and over and perfected to produce volumes of perfect machines that pass tight quality control standards (usually).
With a new machine your odds of getting a good one with no troubles are higher than getting one that was fixed to become functional. You get a one year warranty and a optional 2 more years with AppleCare like any new Mac. The refurbished one is not new, but slightly used, and the broken part in it replaced so it's a functional machine again.
