I have never bought any "refurbished" product before. My expectations were low. However, after a month, I am pleasantly surprised.  The machine looked new, was well-equipped with ports, and has been running perfectly.I see some people complain about getting a bad one. That happens sometimes even when you buy new. However, overall, I feel like I got tremendous value for money by buying this fast i7 computer. I'm very happy with this purchase.
