I知 in the market for a new iMac. I知 looking at new, but also notice there are various companies offering refurbed models which are clearly older but would suit my needs. Would be around half the price and most come with one year warranty. Anyone have any experience of buying refurbed?

JackClark

I bought a refurb directly from Apple, saved a few hundred quid. Lovely machine.

dpb

Only get year apple stuff anyway , so why bother new


( and even if the fault was there within warranty period , bad luck )

mgcvk

Would that be from here? Do save a bit.

Tidgy

save a few hundred quid yet still more expensive and lower spec than a brand new PC.

pmsl, sorry not had a pop at apple all week and could resist lol

mgcvk

Have more than enough of PC and windows at work. It is a pleasure to come home and use a Mac!

Tidgy

they are too slow for what i do

JackClark

18-Core
2.3GHz Intel Xeon W
Turbo Boost up to 4.3GHz
42.75MB cache

Radeon Pro Vega 64 graphics processor
with 16GB of HBM2 memory
64 compute units
4,096 stream processors
11 teraflops single precision
22 teraflops half precision

128GB of 2666MHz DDR4 ECC memory

So slow LOL

Tidgy

so you picked the max spec you could buy eh, and how much does that cost?

and no 1080ti? hahahaha

Tidgy

15k in that spec, pmsl,

can get a pc running twin cpu's and 256gb ram for that price.

do you really wanna go down that route of trying to claim you get a better spec of apple than pc for the same money again jack? you looked like a jackasss last time lol

Christ not this again from jack. It's getting old.

Handbags aside I just wanted to b sure I知 buying from a legit site etc??

Tidgy

yep lol

he still can;t accept that his church of apple isn;t the best tech in the world.

JackClark

No, I'm just laughing at you and your blanket claim that an iMac isn't powerful enough. You crack on with your supercomputing or more likely shooting imaginary people.

JackClark

Yup, all good.

Tidgy

Ok i'll start rephrasing it, unless i spend 5 figures they are way to slow for me at home and work.

dpb

Legit site ?

That's Apple themselves isn't it .

So probably not .do they need more advertising

JackClark

Much better, you should ask for a pay rise so you can be better at shooting imaginary people.

mgcvk

Our new/refurbed Mac should do so long as my Mrs can continue to book holidays and order stuff online from Next. If I can edit photos and look at dodgy websites - like this one - then jobs a good 爽n!

JackClark

It’ll be great and won’t look like a slot machine and sound like an air conditioner.

Tidgy

o dear, can you only argue with personal insults now jack lol

you dont do any favors for apples rep do you

JackClark

What was that about a Jackass??

Tidgy

i was just reminding you you looked like a jackass last time, not actualy calling you a jackass

but dont try to distract from the extreme poor value for money icraps give

JackClark

You're wriggling

Tidgy

not at all, your the one who decided to interpret what i wrote rather than red it lol

but stop getting off the subject

JackClark

The subject being "New or refurbed iMac" and your response being "buy a PC" time for you to wriggle again.

Tidgy

yep, why would any sensible person spend twice as much for half the performance?

JackClark

So they don't have to run Windows.
