In Reply To NZR: would you buy a "refurbished" computer from Dell? posted by ///MO3N on January 08, 2003 at 07:49 AM
     
Message I have a refurb inspiron 7000 as my work computer. Most eveyone in the office has them. Here's what to expect:

1. In my opinion the LCDs are not as good as some other brands (toshiba, sony, and even some compaqs)

2. I think 5 ppl in the office have had their hard drives crap out within 1-1.5 years

3. About 50% of the batteries have gone bad or totally screwed up (connection b/w battery and laptop no longer works)

I'm not sure they are any better or any worse than other manufacturers - just make sure, as was previously stated, to get a good warranty.

**NOTE: IF you have home owners or renters insurance call them and find out what their computer policy is. USAA Renter's insurance covers everything on all my computers - EVERYTHING (power surge, accidental damage, HD failure, etc). Just something that everyone should look into before shelling out the $400 or so for a Dell warranty.



"And Shepherds we shall be, for Thee my Lord, for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
We shall flow a river forth unto Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In nomine Patris, et Fili, et Spiritu Sancti."
