[Shop-talk] refurbished/reconditioned computers

[John Babiarz]

I've done a ton of refurbs and I'm a (now) retired IT guy. Nothing but good luck with them. I've bought HP, Dell and Lenovo.  All good. Current main desktop is Lenovo I've had for 4 or 5 yrs. No issues and I tend to beat on it. I've bought primarily from NewEgg or whatever they are now. 
You can always buy an extended warranty when you buy the machine if you're worried. They generally aren't pricey. Good luck! I wouldn't hesitate with a refurb but make sure it's not a bottom end box.

Anyone have experience with refurbs and a reputable dealers you've used?? also from what I read  an I5 core is better for normal stuff than an I7 (unless you're gaming or doing high end graphics...ideas on that ???thanksjohn _______________________________________________
