    What is the quality condition of these ideapad laptops at lenovo outlet? And what warranties and return policies we get?

    Should I buy refurbished lenovo ideapads? Precautions?

    Refurbished:
    Product returned with factory seal broken
    Product may or may not have been turned on
    Product may or may not have been used

    You will be charged a 15% restocking fee if you want to return it.(Unless something is wrong with it.)

    They carry a 1 year warranty.

    Nothing wrong with buying from the outlet, Lenovo controls it so there is no shady dealing going on.

    I've ordered a refurbished T410 from outlet and looking forward to checking it! so concerned as I'm in the Netherlands and in case of defect, kinda screwed :D

    I've no idea about refurbished lenovo notebooks but my experience with refurbished Macbook was just great, couldn't find no difference whatsoever between the refurbished mac and new ones,

    How do you compare refurbished Mac store and lenovo outlet?!

    Well, I just got my hands on the refurbished T410, have to say I didn't notice any difference between the refurbished one and the new ones, It's just perfect, Only the adapter seems that has been used before, other than that everything looks and smells! new

    It's beautiful!
