I wonder how a computer gets the refurbed status?
I mean I returned my i7 casue after about 30-60min it would start to flicker like crazy. I basically called up and said that i wanted a refund, i doubt the sales rep even knew what i was talking about with the flickers.
So my i7 goes back, someone will clean the system and reinstall SL and then I assume the computer will go out as a refurb. Though unless it flickers during hte rebuilding process it will be considered perfect. So I am assuming someone is about to score my faulty i7 in a few weeks.
My point is that alot fo the new imacs are having issues and are being returened so are you people not worried you are just getting these. Sure a DOA or cracked screen will be replaced but what about issues like the flickering? or are you u just happy to wait and get em fixed? This is one reason i never considerd a refurb, its hard to not like a new mac, only reason i or anyone i know has returned one is due to problems and they got a repalcement
