    nope, same model as the floor model at my bestbuy (same model #, same specs)

    no one answered though.
    I'd most likley have to go in and talk to a manager though :/

    EDIT: well, the one on bestbuy's site has a diff screen resolution and a diff model number... but when i was physically at my bestbuy last week the one had the 1920x1200... so... idk... that's kind of odd...

    I really doubt they'd match it being a refurb.
