Refurbished?
I'm in the market for a new laptop for school. I am trying to spend as little as possible , but still need a decent machine that is portable.
A lot of the stuff in my price range is refurbished, what is the consensus on refurbished laptops?

Check out the Lenovo Outlet. I've gotten a couple of great steals off of there. If you're using the computer for just web browsing, Office applications and maybe some flash games, you should be able to easily find a machine in the $500-650 range.

They have some good dea;ls for a sale this weekend. I saw a 3rd Gen i5 17inch laptop for $599. They have 15 inch Celeron based bottom of the line laptops for $299. I imagine they have i5 and i7 desktops on sale too but I didn't see any specifically in the ad I saw.

Last week I received a $1300, 13" dell lattitude E6330 i5, Win7, for $500 with tax/shipping from the Outlet. The Coupon was 30% off. |

I saw that coupon and ended up getting a nice laptop (13" i5, 6GB of ram) for very short money. Unfortunately I didn't realize how awful Windows 8 is, and now I can't even use the thing.
Any ideas how to get a cheap copy of Windows 7? |
