    Hey guys

    Whats your thoughts on a factory refurbished envy from best buy? I already have a nicely spec'd Dv6tSE on ordered from HP (i5-460M, 8GB DDR3,1GB ATI 5650,750GB 5200RPM HD, Blu-Ray Drive) but i recent saw this pop up on Best Buys website? Do you think this would be better than the Dv6tSE I ordered? Would this ENVY be to much of a risk? Is it a decent price for this specs it offers?

    Take a look! Thanks!

    Generation 1 Envy 15's are rubbish. If you want an Envy 15, get the Gen 2's refurbished after August of 2010.
