Here are the specs: http/www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8041979&CatId=4936
I was wondering if refurbished laptops suddenly have stop working or if they have a shorter lifespan than new laptops.What other problems are there with refurbished laptops? It costs $ 667 and it comes with a 3 month warranty.

thats alot of money for a refurbished laptop especially consider its using intergrated graphics is it worth it nope

what are you planning to use the laptop for ?

refurbished has alot of risks i bought a refurbed toshiba im using now its had several issues 1 the repair job was clearly done by someone with half a brain

thermal paste was replaces by blue tac which made the laptop overheat.
took it back to shop i bought it from they refused to look at the 3 month warrenty before i even opened it up and fixed it myself due to certain warrentys only cover certain things wrong with it they insisted i done something to it lol.

refurbished means its pretty much been used by anyone thats from a child to a responsible adult and been repaired by the monkeys that repair there crap lol. overall your 667 could buy you a good laptop new or a 50/50 chance of a working laptop.
