Price: $69.00 If you're not familiar with Apple's Certified Refurbished products, here are the broad strokes. Apple Certified Refurbished Products are pre-owned Apple products that undergo Apple's stringent refurbishment process prior to being offered for sale. These products have been returned under Apple's Return and Refund Policies. While only some units are returned due to technical issues, all units undergo the full quality refurbishment process. Each Apple Certified Refurbished Product: * is fully tested (including full burn-in testing). * is refurbished with replacement parts for any defective modules identified in testing. * is put through a thorough cleaning process and inspection. * is repackaged (including appropriate manuals, cables, new boxes, etc.). * includes the operating software originally shipped with the unit and the custom software offered with that system. See each products "Learn More" for more details. * is given a new refurbished part number and serial number. * is placed into a Final QA inspection prior to being added to sellable refurbished stock. Refurbishment procedures follow the same basic technical guidelines as Apple's Finished Goods testing procedures, and ACR Products are covered by the same 12-month Apple warranty that applies to new Apple products, and are also eligible for extended AppleCare coverage up to two years from purchase (three years for Mac products). Over the past 19 months I've purchased three Apple Certified Refurbished products - a 17" PowerBook, an iPod mini for my daughter and an iPod nano for my wife. All have been flawless functionally and cosmetically. You can read my recent review of the ACR 2 GB iPod nano here.
