Is the refurbished model identical to the regular model or has something been altered/interchanged/deleted?

Hello A. Seaborne, Thank you for inquiry in Samsung Galaxy 10.1 listing for sale on Ezcorp/ Amazon. The only real difference between these models is the price . We can't tell any difference in quality between refurbished products, great product overall. They have very good screen resolution, solid internet connection, the camera has good resolution and it's lighter than the new ipad. It's super portable. We look forward to getting your business soon!

If mine was refurbished, it was not advertised. Plus, it wasn't obvious. Works like new and I've had it for two years almost.

I also purchased a refurbished unit and waited too long before returning it. I would return it. I no longer purchase refurbished units.

The one I received appeared to be a "refurbished" model in the original box that was in bad shape that looked like it had been re-taped. Nothing was missing but one of the plastic wing nuts was stripped of threading, so I could not tighten one side. Some of the metal foot was bent but I used pliers to bend them back. If you order this, you'll prob. get a brand new one. Of course, you could get a like "new" refurbished model like I did.

No. Please see my previous review. In short, I received a bad unit that had obviously been repackaged, probably sent back by another user with the same problem. If you receive a unit with problems like the one I received it isn't going to play well with anything.

Do not buy refurbished on systems like this. They are work horses out the gate and once the work horse breaks its leg they are put down and then its time for a new one not a refurbished. Refurbished is a work horse who leg has been mended but will never be the same.

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.

According to the description it is refurbished. I don' t know whether it is in the original box.

Yes, I changed mine due to the same reason and it works like new. I suggest you do the same it is very easy to do.

The box is sealed like a new one but I guess it says 'refurbished'. Am not sure though.

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 it is a factory-authorized refurbished machine, it probably works even better than it did when it was brand-new. I would recommend it highly to you. However, if it's simply a used model, you might ask to try it out before buying it. You won't want to purchase someone else's problem.

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.

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 expansvel.

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