Does the I/O port configuration match the pictures (VGA?) or the listed ports in the Specifications section (HDMI + RJ-45)? I have no use for a VGA port anymore, so I’m hoping the listed port set is correct.
Maybe . . . what’s the quality? A or B refurbished. Battery is $100 when it needs replacing–probably by factory. Reviews claim the screen is dim. One year warranty is nice. Lots of fan noise according to reviews. It’s a decent deal–no dedicated graphics. What to say? A little heavy, but not so heavy as the Acer Aspire E 15 with the same or better specs and lower price. Can probably do better.
A “factory reconditioned” item was returned, inspected, and restored to fully working condition by the original manufacturer or a certified partner. And the original manufacturer stands behind it with a warranty. It’s as close to new as you can get without technically being “new”.
Not necessarily true. When one goes to Dell Refurbished, there are A and B refurbished items. Then there are “scratch and dent” items. “Factory Refurbished” simply means the machine is working fine; it doesn’t include the cosmetic condition. Does the supplier include a cosmetic score? An “A” score means no worn keys or space bar, no scuffs, no frazzled scratches on the plastic case, etc.
Can’t say for sure on this laptop. But I’ve purchased refurbished Dell desktops and laptops from Woot and they were all factory refurbished. Looked practically new. I’m guessing all these Dell laptop/desktops that show up here were bulk purchased from Dell or from a Dell distributor.
