To me Refurbished means this:
A new computer.. Many companies "Spot check" they may pull one in 10 or one in 100 and test them. (or less) so if there is a problem many computers may ship before it is found.
The bad ones are then returned,, Fixed and tested 100% then sold as refurbished
So refurbrished means this one works.. Has been tested, Unlike a new one that may or may not.
Still.. Sometimes you have an odd failure that only shows up if you run a specific command.. Happened to my mother.. poor IBM technician (Genuine IBM hardware) Dang near got himself a Kojack Haircut finding it,, Hew fixed it too.
