Reconditioned laptop advice

pilamsolo · #1 05-04-2005, 04:41 AM

I am in the market for a laptop and recently came across a Toshiba Satellite model M35X-S329 that had really nice specs for a good price, but it was factory reconditioned. Anyone have experience with reconditioned laptops? Should I expect a drop in performance or anyting like that? All feedback is appreciated.

Experiences/recommendations regarding Toshiba Satellites in general are also welcome.

reconditioned by the factory?

yeah, it was reconditioned by the factory.

Also a follow up question: if I have a 15.4" WXGA screen can I play 4 tables without overlap? Or do you need a WSXGA+ screen for that....

You need a UXGA or a WUXGA screen in order to play 4 tables with no overlap. XGA or WXGA screens won't cut it.

"refurbished" or "factory reconditioned" usually means its a computer that somebody returned, and they fixed whatever (if anything) was wrong with it. Not necessarily a badn thing, as you often can get an essentially new machine for quite a bit less than you would pay for a new one. I have no experience with that particular brand.
