What to you thinks about Refurbished laptop?
i thinking maybe to buy this laptop
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6834131223
the price is great but the Refurbished thing annoying me

i would say no. not for the fact that it is refurb, refurbs from tiger direct and newegg are usually very good quality, but from my experience, laptops arent the way to go unless you really need to bring your computer around everywhere, and they are not really for gaming, what uses will it be used for? how much do you travel? what is your ideal price range for a computer? what type of laptop are you looking for? also im not sure about samsungs quality with computers, never used them much.

^ not totally true, i have gotten several computers refurbished, like my laptop im using right now was a 300$ refurb asus, it was like new when i got it, even still had all the plastic covers and no scratches or anything, and when it went through refurb they got rid of all the crapware etc.

I've made recommendations for both friends and family on Refurbs and all of them have performed/worked just fine, as well as my refurbished camera and MP3 player, my monitor is a different story though, it looks good but has serious backlight bleed so dark scenes in movies or dark maps in games don't look too great.

That particular Laptop has a flaw pointed out in one of the reviews, a lip around the edge where you wrists will/would rest. If you decide to get it, I recommend a mouse versus using the touch pad.

You can see the lip/edge here

Is this the deal you found?
It's a fair price for a quad core CPU and mid-range graphics card.

What's the laptop for? Do you actually need a BluRay player?

Not really better (except for better gaming).
