I have had very good luck with refurbished PCs. They are checked out and cleaned and have a fresh copy of Windows. With used, you never know quite what you are getting.I've been amazed at the quality of the refurbished equipment I've been able to find on Amazon at ridiculously low prices Make sure you thorougly research which model you buy, though.

I have owned a few refurbished computers over the years and to date have not regretted the decisions. Considering the cost saving I have found the risk to be tolerable. Of course, identity of the seller is paramount.

Used is just that, someone is selling one they have previously used. A refurbished one has been tweaked by the factory or a certified dealer. Buy the refurbished.

The Technology Tree is currently selling a refurbished laptop. Refurbished products are in like new condition. A small percentage of units have light scratches and minor cosmetic blemishes. These units are fully tested and operational, with no functionality issues.

I think If the refurbished has Warenty, it is a safer. But if not, you take the same risks. Hopefuly owner of used one is honest about the condition of the item.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USED AND REFURBISHED COMPUTERS. (This cell phone is a hand held computer) Many a time when searching for a used computer on the net you are also paused by the term "refurbished". You may now wonder what a "refurbished computer" is. The difference between used and refurbished computers is that refurbished units are passed through various rigorous tests to ensure thorough working condition. In fact the test parameters will be set to factory settings and the used computer should pass this test to be called as a refurbished computer. As the test conditions are set to factory defaults, these refurbished computers and laptops will near the quality of the new ones. The warranty coverage is another difference of the refurbished computers. The suppliers of the refurbished computers will offer a warranty as in the new computers. In the case of used computers, there will be no warranty. They may even fail as soon as you plug the computer in your home. The warranty coverage option of the refurbished computers makes them the first choice if you are a computer novice. As a refurbished computer suppliers we can assemble a computer for you based on your budget. The used computer sellers are often not bound by the law and so you cannot get your money back from the suppliers or a warranty on latent defects. On the other hand the refurbished computers are sold with proper billing and registration. In case of any manufacturer defects you can always return the refurbished computer back to the supplier. Obviously if you are looking for a used computer that nears the quality of the new ones and comes up with attractive warranties, the refurbished computers are made for you.

Since you're buying a used laptop off amazon what exactly it comes with will be in the description of the buyer if they are any good. Not every listing is exactly the same, some had mods and additional software. I got one last year and it had only the os so now I use open office because it does the same thing and is free. My guess is you will have to buy office for the computer unless the seller specifically says it comes with it

I have had good experiences with refurbished devices. You should be aware that it may have slight rubs or marks on it. It has been used. So it may be better for your own personal use as opposed to a gift. However, I have bought refurbished that looked brand new and would challenge anyone to be able to tell it used refurbished.

I purchased this computer about 1 year ago. It was also refurbished and I've had no serious issues to date with it. Great price for a good buy!

Don't exactly know what you mean by "what was refurbished" the laptops itself is refurbished. But besides that, it's a really good computer, nothing it can't do coming from a PC gamer.

If you are looking for a better quality budget tablet and are willing to pay a bit more. I also purchased the "Acer Iconia 8In A1-810-L481" ..... It is "Manufacturer Refurbished" but it looks and works "LIKE NEW" .... I would never be able to tell the difference. the prices are starting at $114- $146, make sure it is the "NEW Manufactures Refurb" and not the "USED" (Previously owned) that you purchase. Also "LePan" and "Lenovo" brands are good budget tablets. Hope this helps!!

It depends, you can get it brand new or used or refurbished, you have several buying options, you can choose where it says ¨buy new from¨ and they should be brand new.

Yes. It goes through more quality control testing when it's refurbished and is usually in better condition than non-refurbished products.
