I guess I get what I pay for but good grief. It presented very well, very clean, all the keys had spring still left in them. It was a Lenovo laptop which I like because of the mouse configuration. My heart died a little bit when I pulled it out of the box and saw that it was qc'd by some mud nigger. And I wasn't let down by what my heart felt. Oh well big waste of time. I've got an old HP laptop from about 12 years ago with Linux mint on it that while it doesn't work great it still works so I'll just use it until it eats itself which hopefully won't be for another couple more years. My old laptop can be fixed seeing it needs a motherboard but I'm not 100% sure how to do that without really fucking it up so I'm going to hold on to the laptop still and maybe want to have some more time I can work on it with a buddy buy him a six pack of something. Well actually he can do it all and I can just buy him a six pack. Anyway rant over.

Company I used to work for bought a bunch of "refurbished" HP off-lease computers from Amazon, against my recommendations. They saved something like $50 per unit as opposed to buying a newer model with a real warranty, and I'm sure had we pressed our rep we could have got a match on price, or some perks.

We get them, the "refurbishing" was spraying them liberally with flat black paint that was about the quality of dollar store primer. About 1/3 didn't do anything at all, the rest worked but booted so slowly that there had to be something wrong with them. Don't care, buy junk get junk.

Yeah, As I posted above. If you buy refurb, buy them direct from the company. Lots of companies have their own refurb outlet. I have not had any problems with Lenovo. YMMV.
