When i bought at the time, it was brand New. Refurbished means reconditioned. They get a used/malfunction product and give it a real treat. They should work ok and are less expansível.

Hello. Refurbished simply means that it was returned to the manufacturer and rechecked for any problems. Refurbished is not necessarily a bad thing as it has been checked over twice to ensure that its functioning properly. Sometimes electronics are returned to the manufacturer whne actually it is user error and not really a problem with the device. if manufacturer does find a problem such as a loose connection inside the device, they repair it back to new standards... I have purchased many refurbished computers and have not had any problems with them... Hope this helps....

The one that I just bought was a genuine new HP. If it's different than that when you receive it, just return it.

Would love to help you Bill, but the Dell i17r-1316slv computer that I thought I was buying ended up being a completely different computer. In addition, it was not new as stated but refurbished. I am in the process of sending it back for a refund. Good luck!Bonnie

Yes..factory packed new. I believe if not it would state refurbished. And mine has been working great..

I can only answer on the basis of my choice to purchase a refurbished model over a used one. A refurbished computer is supposed to have problems removed and components replaced if needed. The unit received should be in good working order w/out errors / error messages.

I am not 100 % sure, but I think the hard drive gets cleaned up and they may even put a new hard drive in. I would write to the person who is selling a refurbished computer and ask him. He will be more accurate than me.

First and foremost is price. Unless you just absolutely have to have the latest and greatest computer on the market, I have always bought refurbished. Some may have a few scratches, nicks, or minor dents, but mine set inside an enclosure on my desk, so I don't see them. The hard drive has been reformatted to get rid of the prior owners information and the unit has been checked out to ensure it operates correctly. Over the past 15 years, I have purchased 5 refurbed units, 3 for myself and two for my son. We have never had any problems. Hope this helps.

Mine was "like new" and I can only say how happy I have been with it. :-)I have purchased a number of refurbished products over the years and rarely - rarely - have I been disappointed!I also know of some that have not worked for friends; but rather than "going back" for another, they chose to go "new."We all have different levels of acceptability or patience. I do expect the units I get to work as if they were new! I understand the "refurbished" moniker and feel it is a great way to "sell" an "almost new" unit. Good luck with yours, if you choose one!

The computer is refurbished from a third party vender.. having some problems with it working i.e. recognizing the optical drive and password over writes in Window 8 start up... when it works it is a nice machine ... will take it some where for a fix

No, the computer is actually brand new. One year warranty from manufacturer. This computer is cheap, slow and not worth the money.

If it's anything like the one I got, it's pretty old. Also, not worth the money. Mine didn't work right and I finally wound up returning it. Best bet is to get a smaller notebook type that's new, not refurbished.

It came brand new to me. I've been using it for a while now. I didn't notice it to be refurbished.

Brand new from factory. I think they have to market it as re-stocked, refurbished, etc...see note below from Darryle though, this is true.
