Refurbished ... A friend once told the story about returning from WW II and getting a job selling 'Refurbished' cars. To refurbish a car, the odometer was turned back and a kid in the back gave it a wash and a vacuum. Refurbished computers 'probably' have the pirated sofwtare erased and the paw-prints wiped from the screen. A deluxe job would entail removing dried boogers from between the keys. Get your system from a place with a reputation to protect. A vendor who leases systems could get expired system returns which are in great shape and be motivated to move them at reasonable cost. Again, any warranty depends on the outfit being in business long enough to honour it. I've had really good luck with used stuff. Often the price is unbeatable. Just be sure you know exactly what you're getting and that nothing critical is missing. A 'no questions' money-back policy for a few days is desirable. Major manufacturers who offer refurbished machines should be the safest people to deal with. Cheers, PW.
