Wondering..

[moezy]

I just bought this computer http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodd...217&PCName=desktop_under_400&logon=&langid=EN

and its refurbished , built in wireless, 4 gb ram , slim , 500gb harddrive for 400 bucks and 471 bucks with tax since i paid for shippin

I really could care less about the graphics card because I don't play alot of games but wanted to know if I got a good deal since a brand new one costs 670 plus tax..

it looks like a good bit of kit.
it does what you want it to do, so its a good buy.

Slimlines are horrible for upgrading, but if you don't plan on upgrading, they're fine.

I don't plan on upgrading but would I refurb be ok? It's on 90 days warranty on refurbs..

I wanna make sure

Yes. As long as everything works.

And can someone please explain like what a Refurb is.. Can't it be like if someone returns it or d idn't like it.. or if it had problems? and will it look LIKE new?

 

[wozelbeak]

usualy sent back by unhappy customer due too faulty part ect.
should look like new, and work like its new.

Hope it's good.. Just bought a 20 inch LG monitor .. I don't wanna have any problems with this PC at all.. I like how it has wireless because I will need it since i have a wireless modem and another PC.

Does anyone on these forums have a slimline and how good has it done for you?

Looks like a good deal. Dual core CPU, 4GB of memory, 500GB hard drive, wireless capability and Vista installed.

As others have noted, a refurb is usually no more than a cleaned up return that somebody didn't like or it may have had a faulty part that was replaced. They are normally tested before being put up for sale. It does have a 90 warranty that will cover you if anything goes wrong.
