Are reconditioned computers any good?product key

I would say it depends. You may save a little money but what you are buying is probably either a laptop that someone has ordered/bought, didn't like it and took it back. This would probably be ok. What you don't want to buy is a 3 month old laptop that's been on display/demo for the last 3 months at 11 hours a day.

My advice to you would be to put the money towards a NEW machine from somewhere like ebuyer. I got my machine from there new, for the same price that pc world were advertising as reconditioned.

Whatever you buy don't buy a packard bell, advent or dell. Buy a decent brand such as HP, Compaq or Acer. We have 2 acers in our family and they are excellent machine. We have a cheap 拢400 Acer 3692wlmi and a super fast dual core 5612wlmi.

The 3692 is great for surfing the net, office etc and is 拢369 form ebuyer. The 5612 is now 拢449 from comet.

Yep!
They are as good as the guarantee that comes with them.
You could buy a copy of Micro Mart computer magazine, it's only 拢1.99 and you will find numerous adverts. There are some excellent bargains in reconditioned as new laptops with a full warranty.Also a lot of brand new at discount prices. It's also a good magazine if you want to know a little more about how things work. Hope this helps
some of them are. I bought a lap top and it is fine. I have a friend that bought a reconditioned one and he has had nothing but trouble.
