Is there some sort of documentation to certify that it's been refurbished?

I did not get a specific document with the package. The box was plain and said samsung factory refurbished.

Not 100% sure because the one that I ordered was refurbished. But I seem to remember it being on warrantee for one year.

Mine was "like new" and I can only say how happy I have been with it. :-)I have purchased a number of refurbished products over the years and rarely - rarely - have I been disappointed!I also know of some that have not worked for friends; but rather than "going back" for another, they chose to go "new."We all have different levels of acceptability or patience. I do expect the units I get to work as if they were new! I understand the "refurbished" moniker and feel it is a great way to "sell" an "almost new" unit. Good luck with yours, if you choose one!

If it is brand new it may be locked into a particular carrier. Take it to your local carrier, they will check it for you.

The one I bought was new but many refurbished items have factory warranties. Check Carefully before you buy.

I am not 100 % sure, but I think the hard drive gets cleaned up and they may even put a new hard drive in. I would write to the person who is selling a refurbished computer and ask him. He will be more accurate than me.

To be honest I just assumed I purchase on original item! How can I tell the difference?

I do not believe it does. I've seen some refurbished units on E-bay but not new.

There was nothing mentioned about it, I purchased it refurbished but iam guessing is 1 year with the manufacturer. I will give them a call and follow up with more info.

Was this sold by Amazon? If so, that sounds about right. A refurb drive would have a white label and have the works refurb on it.

Not sure I would ask the seller. Mine was a refurb and usually that means it had been gone through thoroughly before I bought it. Had mine for a while and its still going strong

Mine purchased about two months ago was stated as new, and looked new (in box, tagged, new smell...). There was nothing that suggested it was refurbished. I love it, works great.

Yes..factory packed new. I believe if not it would state refurbished. And mine has been working great..

Yes, mine was new in original package. Be sure to upgrade Windows 8 to the latest version before you use it.

The normal warranty is voided. I suspect that's the whole reason to sell this as a refurbished because nothing has been refurbished except the Warranty Card. That said, it's in perfect shape.

It is supposed to be brans-new, but if you read all the reviews some buyers, especially those who purchased from resellers, received laptops that were packaged as new but which turned out to be refurbished (this also happened with some purchased direct from Amazon -- Amazon made good when it was discovered -- problem is, it often wasn't discovered until the unit went sour and someone had to open it up.
