Factory refurbished?? What does it mean by factory refurbished?
5601
Usually refurbished means that it was once in the hands of the consumer who returned it for some reason, maybe it did not work, maybe they decided they did not want it. Either way, it is tested and looked over (usually my the manufacturer) and resold as a refurbished item. Usually Refurbished items are a good bet as they have been looked over and tested by a technician, where as only a few new items are tested.

I take a different point of view than most of the other responders. I would NEVER buy a refurb as my primary computer, but if you're looking at a system for gaming or music, then a refurb is fine. I do agree, though, to stick with a manufacturer-refurbed unit.

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.

Typically, after a manufacturer refurbishes them, they repackage them as if they are new, except there will be an extra label on the box saying "refurbished", and they come with the full warranty as a new one has.

A refurbished phone is a factory-reconditioned phone. You're supposed to receive the phone, but without a battery.

Refurbished means that they has replaced certain parts to bring the functionality of the camera to like new conditions. I dont believe their is a warranty with these cameras. It was a great deal though. I love my camera and piecing out each item will show you alot about this offer. I was amazed at the amount of extras came for this price.

Not certain, but I believe they mean it's not a refurb. I've had mine for a few months now and haven't had any issues. Battery holds a charge as expected.

yes, the item was received in it's original retail packaging. It is marked refurbished, but it appeared to be in brand new re-sellable condition. if that is your concern.

Amazon has definitions of Reconditioned, Refurbished, etc. that you can review. See the product for warranty info. I assume they are tested after reassembly but I'm not sure. You should ask the seller.

Don't exactly know what you mean by "what was refurbished" the laptops itself is refurbished. But besides that, it's a really good computer, nothing it can't do coming from a PC gamer.

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.

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.

I am assuming that a 'used' item was just simply used and resold - whereas 'refurbished items were used but have been serviced (parts changed....i.e is new/better parts put in.....) and that the item would also be tested to verify that it was functioning properly.

If new-yes, if refurbished-it should, but not always, if used, if seller does not indicate so, ask!

I just found out as I just received the same thing. It means warranty replacement. It is a brand new unit but minus the fun stuff you get when you buy new from the store. I'm not particularly happy about that.

I asked Amazon about that and they said it means the speaker has for some reason been opened (either used or refurbished) and has indeed been repacked. I decided not to pay that kind of price for a used speaker with a new box

I received a brand new one (at least nothing indicating it was refurbished) with standard manufacturer's warranty.
