[quote user=“Binaural”][quote user=“anddreus”]RECEIVED THE COMPUTER TODAY
IT IS REFURBISHED!!!
WOOT SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED THAT ON THE DESCRIPTION.[/quote]
Are you really surprised? First, it’s woot, and second, look at the price. If you don’t want it, quote a price, with shipping, let’s see if I’m interested.[/quote]
Well, they sell new items too.
Now I know that when the word “NEW” isn’t mentioned, it means “REFURBISHED”.
I guess CDRW means CD ROM to Woot. Cause mine has something there that is NOT a CD writer.
I hope Woot replies to this message and explains how my CDRW became a Standard CD-ROM drive during the delivery.

I did what you told me and still waiting for a reply.
How long does the service department take to respond?
Should I send multiple emails?
Please advise.
This thing has Intel graphics, not nVidia graphics as specified. I bought it as a low-end gaming unit needing nVidia graphics chipset. Anyone get one with proper video?
I think those of us lucky ones to snag one of these gems all got screwed! I didn’t expect new stock, so the refurbished was fine. Honestly, I’ve had excellent luck with refurbished PCs as they have the burn-in time that fresh ones don’t get. Not a biggie there. However about that CD-RW drive that’s just a CD-ROM drive. I am not happy!!! Being a laptop drive, upgrading isn’t like going to the local store and snagging the latest deal on a DVD burner and calling it a fair upgrade. I’ve bought a lot of Woot! items, this is the first one I got burned on.

Took a break from the woot-off for dinner and totally missed this. Anyone buy an “extra” one (or two) that they’re going to unload on eBay? I’d totally pay a (small) premium for this item. It would make a great graduation present for my little sister and an awesome birthday present for my little brother.
