is this refurbished unit's case in mint condition or does it have signs of wear and tear?
1997560
I purchased a refurbished unit from Tampa Laptops. The unit I received was in no way "mint," as the device had been in-service for a period of time. The unit was well cleaned and had no visible signs of abuse, but by no means would you confuse it for "new." I've had it under daily use for several weeks now and it performs perfectly. One word of caution for anyone buying a Lenovo/IBM laptop via Amazon or its resellers. You cannot count on receiving the exact unit when specified in the item description (e.g. T400 7417-TPU). You will receive something that is functionally similar, but may have variations in specifications.

The unit looks very good. There is some discoloration on the bottom of the case, but otherwise it looks great. I have to echo Tivophile's comment about exact matches to the spec, but I'm happy with what I got. (2.24 GHz, 2GB Win7 Home Premium 32)

I purchased one that was in excellent shape. Very clean, no noticeable wear on keyboard, pristine screen, only minor scratches on the bottom shell. However, it is clear that it was previously loved by someone else who took great care of it. My unit was exact spec and I got a memory upgrade from the reseller, so I guess it is no longer spec, but in a good way. I have absolutely no reason to complain about anything at all - it is a fully functional unit with no unpleasant scratches, stains, smells or wobbles.

yes, the item was received in it's original retail packaging. It is marked refurbished, but it appeared to be in brand new re-sellable condition. if that is your concern.

It's in very GOOD condition with hardly any signs of any wear & tear. It's been lightly used.

Mine is like brand new and I've had it since they were released. I also have the phantom 820 case from when that one was released in 2012 and the window is still scratchless. But I take really good care of my pcs. I do, however, travel with them periodically but I wrap them in a blanket before driving off.

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

Yep, it's new and never used. It had no marks on it as if it had been used.

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.

No, it's used but it's in very good condition other than minor scratches on the back from normal handling. It's been in an otterbox since I got it so the screen is completely flawless.

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.

L.F. -- Thank you for your reply. I was just a bit hesitant whether it was refurbished, etc -- I've decided to put it in.

As our listing states that the unit we sell is Factory Refurbished by ASUS and comes with a 90 Day Warranty Direct with ASUS. The unit is refurbished to a 'like new' condition.

The one I bought was sold as refurbished, but I don't know if that is true of all of them. It was in like new condition.

Mine was used and then refurbished with Windows 7, hard drive clean and ready to go. I am thrilled with it, knew there had to be thousands of desk tops out there that people were getting rid of that are perfectly good to use for a basic home office computer. I would say buy one that has been refurbished by a reputable "geek"!! Susan

Mine had factory stickers on the box. And, there was nothing about it being refurbished. To me it was new.

I think you're asking if this refurbished iPad is as good as a brand new one you will get in the store, the answer is yes. Mine had no scratches, cracks or markings of any kind. It had a plastic sheet on the screen for protection and it came in an Apple box with a brand new cable. Just like new!

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.
