    Ok, so I stumbled around and found a Refurbished Sony Vaio on their site. How is their quality? And also, what color would this model be? I can't imagine a better set up for that price, so im hoping thei refurbished notebooks are good...

    Thats just the one that comes with it, But when you add it to cart, it shows the "Standard Limited Warranty" dotted in. So im guessing it is still a year? But I plan on buying an extended warranty anyways. Any experience with refurbished vaio's?
