    hi evryone,
    I was looking for the G1s offers in newegg and I found an open box G1s for around 1250$ is this a good deal or just pay another 350$ and get a brand new one?
    and wait at least 1 month to save money or go for this one?

    i will never buy a second hand computer..why would people sell it if it doesnt have a problem...i think u should get a new one or wait for awhile maybe a more powerful notebook price might drop.

    I called NE about these last week. As per there Open Box policy, they told me it will not come with any accessories, including the power supply and possibly even no battery. Amazingly stupid policy IMO as theose items will cost more than the price difference. Sometimes people do get accessories with Open Box items, but it is not the norm.

    Newegg sells a lot of good stuff, but their open box items are to stay away from.
