what is so bad about refurbished laptops/notebooks?
I am buying a mac and I am a student so it is a little pricey. I could get the exact same laptop except “refurbished” for $300.00 less. Should I take the risk? What is so bad about refurbished? Will I experience any problems or cause me any trouble that the new laptop would not cause? If it breaks is it covered by apple?
As others have said, there’s generally no risk with buying hardware from the Apple refurb store – they come with the full 12 month warranty from Apple, and are generally machines returned as broken and then fixed, or occasionally last gen hardware when a new model comes out.
Generally speaking, the only thing you’ll notice is that you don’t get the proper box, although Apple do warn that occasionally there may be some physical defect (such as markings etc), or you might not get the same software as considered standard – what you’re getting is generally listed on a product by product basis however, so just make sure you check to make sure it’s what you want.
I’ve had several machines from the refurb store with pretty much no problem – one laptop did come with the bluetooth not working, which I suspect was the problem with it in the first place, but a quick call to Apple and they collected, repaired and sent it back to be within 3 days. All other purchases from there have been flawless, and in fact a friend of mine bought a Macbook Pro from there a few years ago and got a much better spec’d machine that he was expecting, so after the discount it turned out to be a fantastic purchase!
Basically, there’s no risk involved and as long as you don’t mind maybe not getting all the packaging you’d get from paying retail prices, so go for it!
Refurbished Laptop, to Buy or not to Buy
A refurbished laptop may be a great option if you do not think that you can afford the cost of a brand new computer. These notebook computers are often in virtually new condition, but have just been returned by the consumer for some reason or another. The reason can be as simple as they just did not like the style or size of the laptop to maybe just changing their mind about the purchase.
Most refurbished laptops are returned to the store within ninety (90) days of purchase, so you really are getting a brand new computer. These computers are then sent back to the manufacturer for inspection. If there are any problems, they are repaired and often the manufacturer even upgrades the laptop. So when you buy a refurbished laptop, you may get features that were not even included in the original design.
Even if cost is not a consideration for you, purchasing a refurbished laptop may still be a good choice. Purchasing a refurbished model can often mean getting a more powerful computer with more features. However, with the prices dropping on brand new computers, the benefits of purchasing a refurbished laptop may not be as great as they once were. This is something to consider also.
Though purchasing a refurbished laptop from one of the major companies like Dell or Gateway can save you money, you may lose in the warranty department. The warranties for refurbished laptops usually pale in comparison to the warranties offered on new models.
Another option to consider if you are thinking a about a refurbished laptop is that you may be able to get a brand new computer for free by participating in online offers. So you may also want to think about this.
The main thing that you need to consider, though, is the reputation of the company selling the refurbished laptop. Remembering this tip may save you a lot of heartache in the future if you have any problem with your computer.
Another drawback to a refurbished laptop is that it cannot be customized. So basically, you need to be satisfied with all the features included before making your final decision.
Your decision to purchase a refurbished laptop will rely on your budget and individual preference. Just be sure to do your research first.
