Has anyone bought refurbished items from newegg? What was your experience? Would you recommend buying refurbished?
I bought a refurbished GTX 460 from Newegg. It was artifacting right out the box, and their customer support wasn't great. They took it back fine, but without even asking me, refunded the price (minus the shipping I paid) despite having several more refurb 460's in stock.
That was my last purchase from them.
I bought a refurb SSD from newegg. $80 shipped for a 120 gigs with 1.5 year warranty. It died on me from some freaky windows driver crash (I can't explain it). Despite the headache, it's been worth it. I also picked up a refurb h60 for $27 and it's worked flawlessly.

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!
I've had nothing but good experiences with Newegg before the two times I got defective items buying new, but this is the first time I'm considering refurb

This laptop is available refurb for much less than new. Would you consider worth it? Please share your experiences.
There are some GPUs on Newegg that are refurbished that are decently priced. Does anyone have experience buying a refurbished gpu? I’ve only ever bought gpus brand new or sometimes used from hardwareswap.
Just wondering if anyone has bought a refurbished laptop from Newegg, and if they've had good luck with them or if it is too much of a crapshoot.
Late response, but here was my experience with one:
ASUS Refurb from Newegg - lasted 3.5 years Audio port was finnicky, and about 3 false alarms of the GPU dying for a few hours. The device also seemed to run hotter than it should.
Eventually the keyboard was failing to register a few keys and the HDD's boot sector died..
It was not good as new, but it was well worth it for the discount it had.
I've bought open box, recertified and refurbished hardware (not laptops sadly, monitors, mobos, gpus mostly) and for the most part, it's pretty reliable. At least in my experience I haven't had issues with anything I've purchased.
You do obviously run a risk of not being properly refurbished. But in my experience, it isn't super likely to happen.
