A little info to begin with - Refurbished notebooks are â€like-new†notebooks. A refurbished notebook may not have been used at all or could have been used for a maximum period of 90 days and then returned. Manufacturer checks the returned notebook for any defects, fixes them, if any, and then resells it back labeling it as â€Refurbishedâ€. A note here - refurbished notebooks are different than used notebooks. Now, back to our question †Should you buy a refurbished notebook? Well, it depends what you are looking to buy. Here are some of the factors to consider before buying a notebook. Cost: Comparing the price of new notebook with a refurbished notebook, you’ll find that refurbished notebooks are lot cheaper than new notebooks. So, if cost is your criteria, buy a refurbished notebook. Custom built notebook: New notebooks can be customized as per your preference. Refurbished notebooks do not have an option to customize. So, if you want a customized notebook for yourself, buy a new notebook. Features: Refurbished notebooks generally are equipped with more features than new notebooks. When reselling a returned notebook, a manufacturer may install new or additional features. So, if you are looking for more features, buy a refurbished notebook. Warranty: New notebooks come with more warranty than refurbished notebooks. But, the warranty alone cannot be a factor in deciding which notebook to buy. Be sure to check if warranty on refurbished notebook is from the manufacturer itself.
