Great for price!

 

Some minor scuffs and scratches on the outside. No hard scratches on screen. Does have a very thin hairline of a dead pixel, but you really have to look for it.

Newer model than expected.

None yet.

Very Nice Machine

 

I'd recommend it to anyone who's computing requirements aren't demanding, and is unable or unwilling to spend the money on a new machine. I ordered this for a client who couldn't afford a new laptop, and couldn't afford to replace the motherboard in...

This is perhaps the cleanest refurb Class B I've ever seen. The is a bit of discoloration on the case where stickers were removed, but the screen and keyboard are perfect. I had no problem installing and running the Windows 10 upgrade.

None so far. It is exactly as described.

Better Than Advertised for $105

 

Got my money's worth.

The model I got had 3.1 Hz processors, 4GB Ram, and 320 GB hard drive. Works great! Damage is minimal, some scratches.

CD drive is not RW. Took a long time to install all of the updates and Office Applications are not included.

Well....

 

Again I did get a newer model for the same price, even if it was almost unusable at the time I received it....

Got a new model than I ordered for the same price

I ordered the R400 14.1" because I wanted something small and portable. Instead I get a T500 15 inch which is quite a bit larger. On top of that the processor cpu fan is busted to hell. I've managed to get it to at least run by removing it and...

Great starter laptop

 

After seeing this laptop I may have to buy one of these for myself just to keep around.

I bought this as a cheap starter laptop for my child. Works great out of box. No screen defects. Same laptop my child has in their school. Finger print scanner and serial port!. This would be a good mechanic's shop PC, very sturdy. The damage on the...

I expected some defect so it really isn't a con. The plastic grate over the cooling fins were cracked and broken. Some of the fins are bent. It will not affect performance at all.

Not as specified

 

Plaese note my issue is not wth Newegg but the refurbisher.

New egg service has been very fast as usual ; Laptop runs fine. Battery is very good

Packaging was scary but apears to have been adequate ; Unit was advertised with 2 Gig ram. I have received unit with only one Gig. Which measns it CANNOT function for the desired software

Consumer review (newegg.com)

as advertised

 

Refurbished products can never be judged perfectly through text. I would've preferred the 64 bit version of the operating system (32 bit was installed when I booted it up), but it came with install discs for both 32 and 64 bit versions, so that's not...

Just as advertised, works just fine

Only thing, which was also in the other positive review, is the coating of Armor-all, or some other shiny spray. Easy to wipe off though, so no worries
