In Search Of...

I'm in the market for a laptop computer. As much time as I spend on a P.C., it would be cool to have a portable one. It'd especially be useful whenever I travel so that I'm never far away from my blog.

I've searched in the usual haunts. Best Buy. Circuit City. Sam's Club.

I also searched in some unexpected places. E-bay and Overstock.com.

The models on Overstock.com particularly interest me. Plus their prices are much cheaper. But their laptops are said to be refurbished. Would you risk getting a laptop from their online store? If I do decide to get one, I'd definitely have to get the warranty. I normally pass up the warranty when shopping at the major brick and mortars. For example, I didn't get one for my current desktop and it's still going 4 years strong. I bought it at Best Buy and you know they were pushing me big time to get one. That's how they get their commissions. At one point, they had three of their employees bumrushing me to get one. I was this close to cancelling my purchase. But I persevered.

So I need opinions. Would you purchase a refurbished laptop from overstock.com if it meant saving a couple hundred dollars?

Here's a sampling of what they got. Let a brother know. PEACE!
