if this is a new laptop, why it is sold so cheap? what is the catch?

There is no catch. My answer is based on my purchase a year ago. The deilvery and shipping were good, the laptop works fine. I think the price is reasonable because it is not much of the gaming laptops but rather your daily business use (or that's how I use it.) I love it :) I think the price might be 'cause its windows 8, when 8.1 is out already, but that is my assumption.

The real question is - how rich are you? What makes you think a $1500 laptop is cheap?

You are taking a risk like I did by doing that, I will spend more money and buy what is make for that brand. AI haven't been able to use my laptop until I can afford to buy the right one.

We have a few of this laptops. They are in perfect working condition. They may have small physical blemishes if any.

Honestly, I was 100% skeptical about buying a refurbished laptop. This laptop is amazing and for the price, it just can't be beat. It was recommended by my engineer co-worker and I couldn't be happier. Looks and works like brand new. It could have been returned because there is no disk drive? I saw nothing wrong with it. My advice is go for it. Hope this helped!

When I bought this laptop, I am sure that it was "New". I saw several that were used or refurbished and I did not want one of them. I do not recall seeing similar 'warnings' when I bought this product. In addition, it was over $500. I specifically wanted a Windows 7 machine and they are becoming hard to find. I've heard of too many issues with Windows 8. This machine has an Intel i3 chip and I would have preferred an i5 but could not find a Win 7 & i5 machine and I did not want to order one from Dell.. I'm satisfied with the laptop. My wife has a similar laptop that is 18 months old and she has not had any problems with it. Today, Dell still has a good name and is reliable.

Hi. It was a brand new laptop in original box and packaging, as you would buy from a store. Hope this helps.

They told me that the boards are either refurbished or pulled out of units that didn't sell. The one they sent me worked for about 5 minutes before it crashed. I could never get the laptop to stay running with it so I sent it back. I ended up buying a new laptop and scrapped the hp, which sucked because those were expensive computers when they were new. As far as whether it will work in your model, you can probably e-mail the sell with that question if you're still interested. They were okay to work with and were willing to refund my money.

I would purchase somewhere else.. Even though this seller claimed it was an official Toshiba product ...I have doubts, thinking it's a knockoff.

I'm only selling it, don't know much about what it does. It's an opened box item so you are able to purchase it cheaper than new but it's basically new.

I just got one about a month ago. I buy a lot of stuff from Dell, it was in Dell packaging, you couldn't tell the difference. I have a Dell sales rep and asked him how Amazon can sell it cheaper -- they get some special deal.

it's new. 'monitor sold separately' means regular monitor not included. it's not a laptop with a detached screen.

If you check the description on the "used" item, it is actually new in open packaging. Amazon is very strict on what can be considered new, and anything opened or damaged isn't new and has to be sold under another condition. As for the pricing, either that is the cheapest they want to sell it for, or other sellers listed theirs after the "used" piece was listed. Sellers have to manually adjust pricing unless they pay for certain software, and if you have a large inventory it can be time consuming.

If it's marked as "New", it's a brand new computer. Authorized resellers will almost always have a better price than at Lenovo's website. Lenovo sells the majority of its products through two channels: via their website and through resellers. Lenovo's website is mostly for a custom-configured systems. They are made to order, single units, usually. Reseller models are mass produced and Lenovo offers discounts to resellers on them because it costs them less to manufacture (easier to set up the assembly line for the same configuration for hundreds and thousands of units, than re-configure the assembly line to accommodate just one computer that was custom-configured). It's kind of like buying a car: the standard "preconfigured" models on the dealers lot are a lot less expensive compared to if you decide to tweak something that has to be custom-built at the car factory - the price goes significantly higher.

Hi, you may be looking at an OEM version or a counterfeit version, which is very likely with an unusually low price like that.

It looks like the lower priced one might be used. Not absolutely but I think that's what is indicated when you read the detail. Read the descriptions on both of them but I believe the $300 lists it as NEW and the lower-priced one does not list "NEW"
