What are Refurbished Computers?
As other say, but also: But also, overstock last year’s models are often labeled refurbished in an attempt to clear out inventory at depressed prices. Retailers sell back dead stock, and the factory offers it up, along with rebuilt and never-shipped palettes, straight up to various discount Online retailers. Companies like HP and Emachines/Gateway play this game, but Dell and Apple do not, and their refurbs are always used models.
