    I think you are right.
    The world's hugest computer company would jeopardize everything by subbing in used and broken parts in your laptop because no one ever opens their laptop and it would go undetected for centuries.
    Also, when they do give you a new one, they check the production line for rejects and then put them on sale.
    Very good deductions, Sherlock.

    Look legit to me. Dell would clearly mark something if it were refurbed.

    looks legit and the price seems right. my friend got one of those a month or so ago for less than that. it was about $1500+ total, but he caught one of those infamous 45% off coupons
