    hi everyone
    ive been looking for around for good deals on hp laptops for a while now
    found this site which fits the bill: www.colocomputer.com
    good prices(not ridiculously low but pretty competitive) and they have an ebay presence with good ratings (99.8% positive)
    eBay Feedback Profile for colocomputer
    just to be sure i thought id check here for other reviews and/or user experiences with this reseller


    Has anyone bought something from them?
    Are they an honest store
    OR
    Is it possible they rig/fake ebay user feedback?

    The prices definitely seem on the low end, and I didn't see anything wrong with them.

    My wife bought a refurb Envy 15 from them about a month ago and it runs great. No problems, no overheating, no black screen, no smudges or cosmetic defects at all.

    Actually, about one week later, she received a brand new one from HP direct that was in significantly worse condition than the refurb. the new model had the wrong screen (1366x768 although she ordered 1920x1080) also, something about the way the case fit together made it so that when you turn off the power button, there is not enough resistance to pressing down on the power button so that it doesn't click on and off. the refurb from colocomputer was in better condition.

    If you talk to the owner, Timur, he might give you a discount from the listed price.
