    Anyone have experience, I was thinking of getting one of the G530's from Newegg since they seem pretty decent replacement for my current Acer 8204 (I know, graphics aren't as good, but most everything else is fairly comparable, and in the last 2 years I've pretty much stopped playing games) and they have it at around $400 (with tax&shipping for CA) then noticed that Lenovo sell it refurbished, seems to be a bit cheaper and can even get a little better laptop..

    Any ideas?

    Well I got mine NEW from newegg ... 379 - 10% bing = $341

    t4200
    160gb
    2gb

    I just recieved my yesterday. Downgraded to XP and performance is very snappy. I will be using it as a desktop replacement. $340 for intel dual core... can't beat it.

    What did you search for to get the 10% bing? I tried searching for this laptop, but couldn't find it on bing at all.
