I usually buy refurbished to save money, and I'm always surprised how negatively people react when they find that out. I'm under the impression manufacturers very thoroughly test refurbished products (after all, they know part of it was broken!); it makes me wonder if on average refurbished might be in even better condition than new.
- iProject 14y agoFWIW: My family's last 7 Macs have all been refurbs. The $ saved go to purchase additional (non-apple) RAM. The last Mac I had that developed hardware problem (out-of-warranty) was not one of those refurbs.
- jmduke 14y agoSome do, some don't. I picked up a refurbished iPad 2 a month ago and it works great -- except the home button is shoddy. I didn't really pick up on it after two or three days of use.
- hippich 14y agofor me refurbished means it was tested for real. always buying refurbished laptops from dell outlet and never had problems outside of minor cosmetic issues :)
