I wouldn't buy it again. the power jack inside the laptop is crappy. Yes ASUS honors the warranty and than god, but each time it's like a month without it. For the current price, I would consider it, but be ultra ultra careful. with the power plug, and inserting, removing using it with the laptop,,,,,get it....It rocks but be careful very carel=

Don't exactly know what you mean by "what was refurbished" the laptops itself is refurbished. But besides that, it's a really good computer, nothing it can't do coming from a PC gamer.

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.

IN MY PERSONAL OPINION, refurbished is a bit better. Used you have no idea if everything works or if the computer has "issues". Refurbished means that a tech has gone through and made sure the computer is in working order. Neither are new but the gamble is better with refurbished and the cost is a lot less. Mine did come with a loose power wire but I knew enough to fix it. There is usually tech support for a refurbished one also.

I returned it. The one I purchased had a virus. I will never buy refurbished again.

Mine came with everything listed on the package. It was not a refurbished unit.

Jason : Grandson received this computer while I was in Hospital. I had to go in basement to find box. It was packed in a Dell Box. As far as is it a new monitor, when I ordered it the ad didn't say anything about refurbished. Hope this helps. James A

The same thing as refurbished. Probably a broken return that had parts replaced.

When i bought at the time, it was brand New. Refurbished means reconditioned. They get a used/malfunction product and give it a real treat. They should work ok and are less expansvel.

Not the one that I bought. It was used, and refurbished. It was advertised as so. It even had a scratch on the screen. It said that it did in the original ad.

I don't know about refurbished. A new one comes with the cable for hooking it up to a computer.

First and foremost is price. Unless you just absolutely have to have the latest and greatest computer on the market, I have always bought refurbished. Some may have a few scratches, nicks, or minor dents, but mine set inside an enclosure on my desk, so I don't see them. The hard drive has been reformatted to get rid of the prior owners information and the unit has been checked out to ensure it operates correctly. Over the past 15 years, I have purchased 5 refurbed units, 3 for myself and two for my son. We have never had any problems. Hope this helps.

Unless it says it's refurbished, then it is new. We ordered one last year and received a new one.

I am really wanting this unit, but worried about the "refurb/new" thing ... should I be concerned? were you guys able to update maps on ALL those that suspected "used"? ... should I go ahead and get it ??

I think mine was refurbished and the front screen had a noticeable crack. It worked fine so I didn't get another.

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.

I called my system provider. They gave me the answer. Also ask what the return policy is from the vender.
