QUOTE(ckeong89 @ Feb 22 2016, 01:41 AM) Had a bad experience with refurbished units in hk last month. However apple hk provided a very good service between online store and genius bar Mind sharing the details of your bad experience? I'm sure many here would be interested to know. Cheers. QUOTE(BacktoBasics @ Mar 2 2017, 11:17 PM) Correct me if i am wrong, does refurbished means new battery and new case meaning no scratches and etc Even some brand new MacBooks come with scratches based on complaints in the Apple forums in US. And IIANM, from what I've read previously, refurbished sets normally do not provide a brand new battery, but just a battery which is 'new enough' - at 80% minimum capacity left. |

QUOTE(BacktoBasics @ Mar 3 2017, 08:47 AM) Is it? Hmm anyone here bought a refurbished unit before? It is cheaper but if it comes with 80% of battery life and minor scratches, don't think the cheaper price is a discount. At least I don't see it that way. I mean if you are spending so much already for a MacBook. What is another few hundred more Yup. The price difference is actually not significant. If you are not on a tight budget and are planning to use it for personal use and for years to come, better get a new one Though I believe some people really don't mind cosmetic issues on their MacBook and are fine with the slightly-used battery capacity, and these are their target market.  |

QUOTE(ckeong89 @ Mar 3 2017, 10:02 PM) i received a very new macbook although i bought a refurbished unit. intermittently it is hard to boot up and have to bring it to genius bar. end up they fully refund to me and i bought another one with full price Thanks for sharing. But I am curious. They did not try to repair, change the logic board or replace your refurbished MacBook with another refurbished one? Or did they just ask you to live with the intermittent boot up issue - that caused you to ultimately ask for refund and buy a brand new non-refurb set?  |
