My augmented reality startup could just buy like 5 of these and chain them together to make the appropriate AI Overlord…if my calculations are correct.
Not this model, or even this year, but my experience on buying refurbs from HP has been really negative. I keep buying them because they’re the cheapest, and I keep figuring out why.
Screens, touchpads, and other hardware parts going in-and-out without cause or warning has been my history with them.
The price on this is really attractive, so this may be a good buy for someone that doesn’t know if they want a notebook. If you do, you can buy a real one later. if you don’t, you did’t waste too much coin.
I bought one of these new several (5?) years ago for $299. It still keeps chugging along. Never used the touch screen much, but now that I use a tablet more, I use it on the HP a bit more. Got knocked off my desk to an uncarpeted office floor and took a corner out, but it still worked.
Mine was Windows 8 with the free upgrade to 10.
Not the most exciting laptop I’ve used, but it takes a lickin and keeps on tickin.
I have had mixed experiences with “refurbs” from Woot. Almost unanimously excellent, but one laptop looked like it had been drug down a sidewalk on a chain.
“Refurbished” covers everything from buyers’ remorse returns and products whose defects have been repaired by the pros to damaged packaging and discontinued items. If you can accept their checkered past, refurbs have a lot of love to give.
