I was hesitant to buy a refurbished computer until my daughter recommended it., saying they often last longer than new off the shelf equipment. I can’t say enough about how much value I got with this purchase. The speed is phenominal compared to my two-year old desktop, I was able to plug and play. And even having relocated the unit twice for optional use of my home office space, it was easy to undo, relocate and re- set up. I am now convinced that refurb is a bargain with a like-new outcome!
