I decided to go refurbished to save a couple pennies. It worked great for a while, but exactly 5 months in the hard drive failed. Currently checking if they are willing to fix this, if so I’ll definitely update and improve the rating. It costs less, but it’s definitely not cheap so I’m not about to give up on it. This is the kind of stuff you risk when you buy refurbished, so if you don’t think the hassle is worth the savings I’d recommend buying new
