Very good hub for those looking for good laptops at unbeatable pries. My employer at one time refubished computers after a year or two and sold them to employees at great prices. When they found out they could make much more money they began selling them to an outside company for 3 to 4 times the rate than they did to the employees. Good information.

Thanks for your visit and comment. Refurbished computers and laptops and not bad at all. Infact, they are very economical as compared to new ones.

I keep buying refurbished laptops and then giving them away to family members--not because anything is wrong with them--on the contrary! It's just that I can't type on the keyboard of any laptop, even the largest, because I've been using an ergonomic keyboard ever since they were first introduced. I have to attach an ergonomic keyboard and mouse to the laptop, so it's really not a "laptop" any more! Hence, I keep using my desktop and giving the kids the laptops. I got some really good buys on them, though. Jaye

I too like to work on my desktop than the laptop. I feel more comfortable with the desktop.
