How can I tell if a Macbook Air at the refurbished Apple Store is a Rev. C model? Thanks!

I thought they only sold refurbs online? Refurbs do not come in the standard boxes, I think the boxes are brown. I could be wrong.

Well aside from you ordering it yourself as a refurb it will come in a different box.

I bought the 2.13, 5 weeks ago from the Refurb site. What a fine machine! The SSD makes a HUGE difference. The screen is beautiful.

It needs to have either a 1.86GHz processor or a 2.13GHz processor.

For the Rev. C, the 1.86GHz processor is paired with a 120GB HDD
ie: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC233LL/A?mco=Nzk2MTU0Mw

The 2.13GHz model has to be Rev. C
ie: http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC234LL/A?mco=Nzk2MTU0Mw

If you're considering the 1.86GHz model, I'd also consider that version in Rev. B since it is offered with a SSD

If it's 2.13 GHz with SSD it's the latest model... priced at $1549.
If it's 1.86 GHz with 120 GB HDD it's the latest model.

If it's 1.86 with SSD it's the rev B with Nvidia GPU at $1349.

Honestly, if I were buying I would buy any Nvidia GPU MBA with SSD. So, plan to spend $1349 or $1549. It's already a tremendous discount over the $2499 they cost just a few months ago new.

Good luck.
