| You can get a brand new computer for so cheap nowadays that there is no sense buying a referbed one....especially if all you want to do is "browse the internet" Reply Back to Top |

| You can buy a new laptop for Best Buy right now for less than $300. Reply Back to Top |

| The real Greg Maddux wouldn't buy refurbed anything. Reply Back to Top |
| I want a Lenovo again. Lasted 6 years through a whole lot of usage. A decent amount of Porn. Nothing crazy. Reply Back to Top |
| Refurbs are a good deal. I've bought two items from NewEgg and no problems at all. Reply Back to Top |

| I assume factory refurb, which would have a warranty. I don't see a problem with that but what is the price difference versus new? Reply Back to Top |
| Bought a refurbed tablet from newegg. Works great. Reply Back to Top |

| I guess I'm not going to get an answer about these awesome refurb deals and all the money saved. I know the answer, just wanted to see how deep the shite got. Reply Back to Top |
quote: I bought a ViewSonic 21-inch monitor from NewEgg for $89 with free shipping. I figure I saved $70 or more over a comparable new monitor. This is a heavy-duty monitor with a height adjustment, 360-degree rotation, a weighted base, and built-in speakers. You can hardly find one like it any more. Reply Back to Top |
| My business partner has had a Thinkpad (IBM badged) for around 8 years. He finally decided to get something else. He bought a refurbed Lenova about 6 weeks ago, added a SSD once he received and couldn't be happier. Now it has only been a short time but so far it is performing flawlessly. Reply Back to Top |
| I find that windows laptops only work for so long. I feel that I refurb may reduce that time. Also, make sure it has a new battery. Reply Back to Top Refresh |
