HP all in one unit has a list price of $1099 and is on sale for ~730. If I purchase a refurbished unit for ~570 - would the unit then be eligible?

You would need to contact Smart Guard to get an answer to your question. Sorry I am not an expert on warranties. Only Smart Guard could tell you what they cover. I don't understand why Amazon sent me an email asking me to answer this question. I am just a consumer like yourself. Hope you get an answer to your question.

Sorry; for this individual cannot honestly answer this question because you are buying a refurbished unit. The best answer/or idea that one can give. Take a moment and talk to a professional agent/or representative of this particular company. Therefore, he or she should be able to answer one's own issues in regards to this particular insurance plan that has been listed.

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.

I saw the lower numbered models at Frys this weekend. They didnt have the L117FX/B. I played around with it briefly and the touch screen was more responsive than the HP all-in-one model. All the HP's had Vista and DVD drives for about the same price as the Sony, which had blu-ray and Windows 7. Although I dont think I would use the touch screen much (don't like the smudged screens), I did like the look and build of the Sony. Everything seemed to be built a bit better than the HP. I can't wait for the reviews to come out...

I bought mine refurbished. And paid less than half of the original cost. Works great!!

I asked HP that very thing... only answer I could get was; "You may upgrade the RAM, processor, and the graphics card after the warranty expires." HP also told me that this version could not be upgraded to using an SSD and would require different mother board. That makes me worry that you might need to also change out the mother board to go to better processor as well. Perhaps same board will go to i5 but not i7 ?? I was not able to get direct answer from HP on that. BluRay player would not work well with this lower resolution 1600x900 video output of i3 with Intel 2500 video. With i5 and i7 you can get into their 4000 and 4600 onboard video that goes to full HD. Or even add a separate video card to get there... but even though this is sold as a "desktop" it is really built with notebook/laptop parts so limited in that respect for upgrades after warranty period. FYI... you CAN get this model in "customized" version and have it built as you want to... price climbs quickly. BUT... even a couple hundred dollars more and you get much better PC. Check it out at HP site ~ HP ENVY 20-d030xt TouchSmart All-in-One Desktop

I am not sure about a used or refurbished computer but if you a buy a new one it comes with a 1-year limited hardware warranty with toll-free support from HP. I don't know any more details than that but I would imagine if something went wrong with the hardware you would have to send it in somewhere at your expense to have someone look at it/fix it/replace it. This process, I have heard, could take anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months, but that information comes from reviews I have read, not personal experience. You would probably have a 30-day return policy from whomever you bought it from as well, but you should verify that with the individual seller. I am not an expert, but I am advanced in knowledge of computers, so usually I am better off just fixing it myself, especially if it comes to easy things like RAM memory or anything that goes wrong with the software, so you would have to look into what kind of protection you get on that end. I would recommend installing an antivirus program immediately after purchase though and getting a flash drive or external hard drive to back up necessary files (documents, pictures, etc.) ! I hope this helps...

Thats debatable, though they do offer a good value in b&w; laser multifunctions. Some of their software has been dodgy, but thats been the case for others as well, especially HP. Its a crap shoot with anything these days. Buy from somewhere that will take returns (not very common for printers) or wait until unbiased reviews are available.FYI, HP also has new machines just released. They are more $$ than Brother but thought you should know. Look at the higher end 3390 or the entry level 3055 or 3052 if you don't need fax.

yes, but refurbished units have only 90 day's warranty so make sure your's is not a refurbished unit. Once you get the unit, you can call them to register your unit.

To give you better advise about the software included, I advise you to go to Best Buy or another computer store you trust and speak with the sales person knowledgeable of the HP All In One. It does not come with Office, which is disappointing. Sorry I couldn't give better advise. Have had my HP All In One a couple of weeks, and Love it. Windows 8 isn't so bad either. Just getting used to it.

Sorry, I don't know. I suggest you either check with HP or see if you can find out on line.

I don't know it was offered on the HP I purchased. I do not know about other manufacturers.

Just ordered mine today (6/15), sure wish there was SOME ETA as my old HP laptop is on the fritz. I can't believe the deal on this thing, almost $1000.00 off the HP price. I wonder if the price has something to do with the lack of ETA? Anyways, here's to hoping there will be some ETA soon. PS: I did call Amazon before I ordered, they had no ETA =(

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 asked this early on and was told I could for about $100 but it that it would void the warranty.This was from a 1st level HP tech. Don't know how valid it is. I've adapted pretty well and for $5 you might try stardock.com/products/start8 for a more familiar interface if you don't use or like touch screen and use "Desk Top" option.

I'm not 100% sure but I think the date is for "best if used by". To find out for sure go to HP.com support and ask them.

Brother makes you purchase toner and drum separately. HP doesn't. That is one reason I've always loved HP machines, but now I'm in the market for an "all-in-one" and HP's choices are too large a footprint and high end for my needs. Their low end stuff is hit and miss apparently.

$9.00! That's cheap. Here they sell for about £7.00, even on the HP site. That's around $14.00.
