This seems like a really good deal to me (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

However... I have never owned an HP, and I'm a little concerned about buying a refurb. The specs are what I'm looking for (though I might like a higher res monitor, I can deal with it on a 15").

What do you all think of this model? And the deal for it as a refurb? (it comes with the 6770m)

If you want a higher res monitor, scour the what notebook should I buy forum for discount coupons. You should be able to get the same basic machine as above with a GPU and a 1080p screen for ~$800 or so new. $850 tops.
