Ordered a refurbished laptop from Futureshop!

Hi Ricki! Did you ever talk with walmart to ask what their problem was. The list a sale, didn't they?!

911 Ricki" welcome to mylot. Lenovo refurbished laptop for $279. I am sure it will work well. It may take two/three days for you to get it. How much the original was costing? Buying refurbished is not wrong but luck should be there in favour of us.

That was fast. I don't know anything about Futureshop; hope they deliver you a good laptop. The price is great.

Is Futureshop Canada based? I may look into the site though I would rather get the laptop from a store where I can see it and mess around with it first. If they have something that is pretty good though I may just get it anyway as I know people who can help me fix it if it breaks or if it needs something. Has Walmart contacted you back yet? I still think they did you wrong and should have to give you a gift card or something for your inconvenience.

That sounds like a good deal... A lot of laptops go for way more than that. I just hope that it works well for you. I have had bad experiences with re-furbished cell phones... Not working or having some kind of major glitch.

Wow, sounds like a deal. So, what are the specs for this computer? I just got a all - in - one recently, that is gateway, 23", 1TB hard drive, 4G memory, and i3, 3.3 GHZ CPU. It was $499, and it was a good deal for me too. It also broke my wallet for a while. So, I guess I love this computer so much.

I think it is good to go for new computers as the cost of the computers have come down greatly in the past one year. I would suggest you to wait for one month and then go for a laptop as I think the price of the laptop will come down more down. I think it is okay to go for refurbished laptops or desktops from the companies that you can trust.

I've never heard of Futureshop; maybe I'll look into in the future. That is really good price, though; hopefully, the laptop will be sufficient for your needs. Good job on getting it refurbished, too. I am not sure why more people do not look into refurbished computers. If it works as it should, it will save you a good bit of money. For instance, I got my laptop for about $600 (17.3", 2.9 Ghz dual-core, 6 GB RAM, Blu-Ray, ATI Radeon HD 5470 512 MB) from Newegg and I couldn't be happier. It can handle everything I throw at it; and it also was a refurb., so I save a few hundred dollars. :-)
