[Electronics-Talk] renewed vs. refurbished computers.

[The Blind MacGyver]

Renewed and/or refurbished pretty much means the same thing. Renewed seems to be Amazon‘s way of seeing refurbished without actually having the bad word of refurbished. Normally these products probably only have a 30 day warranty.

Subject: [Electronics-Talk] renewed vs. refurbished computers. In my opinion, I would save your pennies to buy a brand new machine with a longer warranty and if you can afford it may be a tech-support warranty from the manufacture of the computer that you want to get.

There are some renewed Del laptop computers on Amazon.What is the difference between renewed and refurbished?When I got a windows 7 upgraded to 10 refurbished lap top from a non profit organization and it crashed with no sound atech explained what it means to get a refurbished computer.It means it can be turned on before leaving the place it is being sent by, doesn't mean software or programs are working to their optimum, they could be ready to crash at a moments notice practically, it just means the computer can be turned on with no problems. Oh, because it was a windows 7, there were no audio drivers available anymore to fix the problem according to the MS help desk and a tech at a computer store.
