"Refurbished" is always a bad word when it comes to my decision to buy something. But I needed an inexpensive, small desktop and decided to take a shot. This hit the target. Easy to get set up, no blemishes and no issues so far. The seller even included a WiFi USB dongle, which wasn't needed for this particular machine. The provided keyboard and mouse are flimsy, but they work, and it's not like I need to show off my input devices to anyone anyways. A good deal!
