Should I buy a refurbished notebook computer?

Answer by  SomeoneUKno (17)

Not all refurbished computers are lemons -- in fact, most are returned for simple issues such as Windows errors. However, make sure to purchase an extended warranty with your computer.

Yes, most refurbished computers are repaired by the company that made them. They are also fixed by other companies which have been certified by the manufacturer to do the repairs. In some cases a refurbished computer is actually better than the original computer because they may have fixed other issues.
