QUOTE:What's your take on the new vs. refab situation?

My guess is that it was just taken out of a non-working laptop. I doubt they actually repaired anything on it.

edit: Here's how that site defines "refurbished".

Quote:

Refurbished(also known as reconditioned) and recertified by DELL - Sometimes these items are indistinguishable from new, sometimes not.
Or
New product which has not passed inspection because of a minor cosmetic-only flaw. May or may not be noticeable. NO structural or performance defects. Always in excellent condition.
