Is this a new one or refurbished? Reason is because of the cheap price...

Hi James- the item I received was brand new in sealed original packaging- great help once you get used to holding it steady and reading it correctly -regards Gary M

It depends on the seller. I bought it from Amazon and it's a brand new one. Check each seller description.

Used is just that, someone is selling one they have previously used. A refurbished one has been tweaked by the factory or a certified dealer. Buy the refurbished.

It looks like the lower priced one might be used. Not absolutely but I think that's what is indicated when you read the detail. Read the descriptions on both of them but I believe the $300 lists it as NEW and the lower-priced one does not list "NEW"

Mine was new, although I think that you have the option to get one refurbished for a few bucks less. Great computer, only reason I didn't keep it was because it didn't have a backlit keyboard.

The one I received IS a REFURBISHED unit. On the headband in the middle it's clearly printed "REFURB-W".

I looked up the company website, emailed them as to where I could buy a replacement and they shipped me out one. I don't think it was brand new but it still works. Good luck.

L.F. -- Thank you for your reply. I was just a bit hesitant whether it was refurbished, etc -- I've decided to put it in.

Hello Lynda , I bought a new one just because the price difference wasn't that great so I just went with new! I am sure if you want to save a couple of bucks you couldn't go wrong!

As far as I know, it is brand new (refurbished in the factory), but it does not have the full warranty. I got one in July and it`s working perfectly. I have other experiences with refurbished equipment and never had any problem. Maybe it`s interesting to contract a third-party warranty just as an addiitonal protection.

The camera is used, but has been restored to look new. I would recommend a refurbished one as opposed to a new one if price is an issue. It looks and works the same as if it was new, however some software that came with the product when it was bought new MAY not work again, especially if it was already used to register the product. But a lot of software can be found easily and downloaded from the internet.

My friend who helped me set this up suspected it was not new and it has now died. I'd buy the new model...and make sure it is new!

I think it was new, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't think it matters. All these remotes have a design flaw. There is a ribbon cable that connects the main part to the slider breaks after a enough opening and closing of the sliding keypad. When they refurbish, they replace the broken ribbon with a new one. So I assume a refurbished unit would work as well as a new. It seems for most people the cable breaks in 6-12 months. Someone posted a link on an electronics site where you can buy a ribbon cable yourself and fix it yourself. I did this and it's a little tricky but doable. I actually haven't put batteries in yet to see if it works with the new cable since it's a spare at this point. I think it was new, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't think it matters.

I think mine was refurbished and the front screen had a noticeable crack. It worked fine so I didn't get another.

Not sure I would ask the seller. Mine was a refurb and usually that means it had been gone through thoroughly before I bought it. Had mine for a while and its still going strong

I don't know if I could give you any reassurance on that. The one I got was either refurbished or used, because it wasn't in the original packaging. Mine works fine, but I have a feeling quality might vary from order to order so the best advice I can offer you is familiarize yourself with the return policy, and look things over when you get it. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. I hope you find what you're looking for.
