Opinions on refurbished computers...

[cottoncandysky]

Hey everyone! I was wondering what everyone's take on refurbished computers bought from a store was? They're certainly cheaper and look like they have similar specs as a brand new one. Pros/Cons? Thanks!
Heres the one I was lookin at, but my question was not for this specific
one..just overall opinons...

Personally i dont trust anything, refurbished or otherwise, from Tigerdirect ... dunno why really In general refurbished stuff works well provided that it was the OEM that did the refurb and not some 3rd party company (for instance, eMachines)

Usually refurbished products are those returned by customers after testing them. I think there must be a reason why they returned those products...

Depends on who did the refurbishing If it were me then I'd trust it.

Yes but somewhere along the line, everything has been returned at least once
