These products were once leased to a customer and after prolonged use (typically ranging one to three years), returned to the leasing agent. Upon return, off-lease items endure an extensive refurbishing process to insure future performance. While these items may have minor cosmetic blemishes upon resale, they are of the highest quality and usually carry a limited warranty. Buying off-lease products means you�ll receive an exceptional deal and do your part to eliminate excessive waste � Two things Buy.com strongly believes in.

tokanm Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I bought this for DS, he has wanted an apple computer since he started dating his g/f who has only apple products in her family. Is this a good deal? What about the stats and does anyone know what it comes with for a warranty or installed programs? I couldn't figure it out from the description Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a good deal? What about the stats and does anyone know what it comes with for a warranty or installed programs? I couldn't figure it out from the description Apple has a very good warranty for their refurb products . IMO it is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tokanm Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Well Magic I APPRECIATE YOUR POSTING THIS I called a few people and they told me this was actually an amazing deal. I do not know the PP expertise in judging computers but people I know do NOT agree with his opinion. It is refurbed and updated according to Buy.com. I could never afford a new Ibook but this is just perfect for what I am looking for I AM GLAD THAT YOU POSTED THIS and so will my son when he opens this on Easter. Please do not stop posting these great finds. THANK YOU MAGIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wmelnick Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Important note for those not familiar with Apple products. This product (and all Macs with PowerPC CPUs) are no longer supported by the current and future Apple operating systems. You WILL NOT be able to upgrade this to OS/X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). It only supports Intel CPUs. Expect that the latest generation of software will start phasing out support for this laptop as well. W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokanm Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It actually comes with Leopard according to the listed software (it is all upgraded) I called apple and OS 10.5 is Leopard I was told. They completely overhaul/clean and update it is what I was told by Buy.com. You have 30 days to return it anyways BTW I did the slow free shipping, it is being delivered today according to the tracking. It is coming from Connecticut and so I get it overnight for free:fluffy: Wish I would be home to sign for it and hope the managment office will sign and I can get it Thursday.

kbes3277 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just a FYI Leopard is 10.5 ( which is installed on the computer to this link) 10.6 is Snow Leopard, which does not come on the laptop listed, nor is the laptop supported to run Snow Leopard. There is not a huge difference in OS, I am currently running 10.4 and love it! Congrats to all those who got this great deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
