Laptop Advice Refurbished

by cloudstrife930 - 2/10/13 8:10 AM

Hello I recently purchased a referb laptop from best buy. Wondering if i made the right decision. It has not arrived yet but specs and price looked good. Im on a limited buget and I still have 30 days to return it if i dont like it. Best buy covers it for 90 days parts and labor. Heres a link to the laptop. Is this a decent deal decent all around laptop?

Hard to beat. The 17 inch is great for desktop replacement. Not so great for the traveler or student.

My reply is that for 350 it's hard to beat such for that many dollars. Since you are paying about half the usual price you won't be upset at half the usual performance or life span if that occurs.

Best Buy has a restocking fee when you return a laptop
