    that means someone ordered it and the canceled it I presume? because it seems that the previously ordered new ones are even cheaper than the refurbished ones. Looking at getting a Latitude 620 and if I can get a new one with everything I want for 300 less than I would pay for it through regular dell it'd be worth it.

    also what is the warrenty with these and can you upgrade it to a normal warrenty? how much does this cost?

    I believe it could be a variety of reason - it could be cancellation or it could just have been returned. Yes, it can be cheaper because not everyone who orders from Dell knows or use all the available discount codes. The warranty is the same at the outlet you have the opportunity to upgrade the 1 year base warranty and extend it for more years. You can also call Dell for other coverage such as accidental.

    Yeah, that's what they are. As to why they are cheaper than refurbs, who knows. Dell's outlet pricing is a bit wierd, nobody understands it really.

    You can add whatever warranty you want to it when you add it to y our cart.

    Yes. Sometimes you can get great brand new system that never had been opened or opened powered on but what ever the reason a person decided to return it.
    You get same 3 Year On-site Economy Plan on Latitudes and you can add more protection(extra year. Complete care) when you check out.
