in [UK Mac]

From: Peter James on 20 Mar 2010 05:59 I saw a 24" iMac in the Apple refurb store yesterday and quite fancied it. Alas it's gone this morning. But I can wait until another comes up. Does anyone know of any reason why they wouldn't buy it, other than shortage of cash that is?

There are few downsides to buying a refurb - my last three have all been refurbs - the only two I can think of are 1. it may not always be the latest model and 2. there /may/ be some slight sign of wear/use. A powerbook I bought had [very lightly] scuffed feet... -- David Kennedy http://www.anindianinexile.com

It might actually be a safer bet then than just buying new. Cheers, Ian

I think the 24" oldie is much to be preferred to the new 21.5" iMac. More pixels, and bigger ones, Jan

I nearly did that, but then I saw that the lowest-end 27"ers go for �1169 when they're in. The 4670 video card is better than the GT120 in the 24", and the CPU/memory tech in general is a year newer and rather faster for the same CPU clock speed. And you get 4gig RAM and a 1Tb drive - factor that in. There were some of those available last weekend.
