I would advise caution with the buffalo drive - I currently have a 320GB one and the reason I am in the market for a new drive is that I don't trust this drive as far as I can throw it!!! Makes terrible noises, will only mount about 1 in every 10 attempts - I fully expect it to pack up all together at any time (please please please not before I get a new one and backup my movie collection!) And this is from a drive that is approx 14months old and has only ever had intermitent use

Ok Mac dudes,
The apple refurbished products. what exactly does refurbished mean? I know in the phone trade it means one of two things
1: 14 day return
2: Faulty phone which has been fixed for resale.
So what does it mean in the Mac world?
As there a 24" iMac at a great price on the apple site. and I just wanna know will it be like new or will it be faulty / damaged with scratches etc?

Only problem with IT24/7 is there "Free Delivery" is 7 days, kind of long to be honest. But if you in no rush why not.

got what maybe a dumb question.
My macbook pro has a fault with a sensor, my laptop is used every day and has lots of important stuff on blah blah. I cannot go 24 hours without it.
Should I have it fixed and buy a cheap replacment macbook and just sell the replacment on later or should I just buy anew macbook pro and bung this one (after repair) on ebay? One thins is I know a few people who have had this problem "fixed" only for it to come back within days
need to decide soon really
but by december I will purchase a new laptop wihout fail as this one will be out of warrenty
