Hi!

I've been wanting to purchase a budget laptop for awhile now since I'll be enrolling into a program that requires Windows rather than Mac.

I saw that Newegg offers a refurbished laptop for under $300, but I'm hesitant to buy it as I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews about their products especially with scams and third party sellers.

The item I want to buy says it is sold and shipped by Newegg and I saw a lot of comments in other threads saying it is safe as long as the item says that.

So I wanted to know if it is worth purchasing the item from Newegg considering that it is refurbished and sold/shipped from Newegg.

I appreciate any guidance!

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about purchasing a refurbished high-end gaming PC from Newegg, but I’m unsure if it’s the right move. The PC comes with a 1-year warranty and a 3-month warranty on parts. Since this would be my first PC, I wanted to get some advice from those who might have experience with this.

I’ve looked into building my own PC, but the costs are getting steep—even when I’m willing to compromise on quality or aesthetics. Buying a refurbished PC seems like a more affordable option for me right now.

Has anyone here bought a refurbished PC from Newegg? Is it reliable, especially for high-end models? Are there any potential issues or things I should be aware of before making the purchase?

I’d really appreciate any insights or recommendations you might have!
