There's a new alternative online if you're in the market for refurbished Apple computers and mobile devices. Auction mega-site eBay has launched a section devoted entirely to like-new MacBooks, iPads and iPods, the not-so-catchily named Apple Certified Refurbished Products Store.
On the store, you'll be able to find 25 products up for grabs, including a white 32 GB third-generation iPad for $469 - a $130 discount over the retail price, or exactly what Apple charges for the same refurbished device
