    With a new one only being a little more...I don't think it's worthwhile.

    i agree, always go with the new one, refurbs usually only come with a 90 day warranty so if it breaks after that period of time your screwed. Plus pagecomputer has it for only 120 dollars more. I bought mine from them a few weeks ago and had no problems.

    Ultimately its up to you, if you feel comfortable buying a refurb then go ahead, but you should make sure and find out the return policy of the store when it comes to refurbished computers.

    I just ordered from Page. Said they are out of stock. I hope that doesn't cause a long delay.
