    Yes, companies are really careful to bring them up to good working order. I'm using a refurbished old government one right now.

    I highly recommend it, I have a refurbbed laptop I've been using for 4 years,never a problem. But it won't hurt to purchase an extended warranty. Tigerdirect.com is a great place to purchase a system.

    I have twice and had more problems than it is worth! Anyhow I would suggest a payment plan with Dell it is cheap and decent.
