Refurbishment means restoring them to their original quality. This is the standrad you should expect. Currys will have all the proper guarantees.

Be careful when buying from Currys / Dixons all the same company, only though experience bought a new laptop from them 999.00 little while ago so under Guarantee 12 months I thought only to find i had a fight on my hands to get repaired as keys fell off, created several problems and this was from show model as last one. I was told by manager in Bracknell the keys were not under warranty on the laptop. After a long drawn out battle including the papers, they were replaced and only 4 months old. So I would now have no dealings with the companies, go to Dell.

As long as it is certified by the manufacturer and it has a warranty, buying a refurbished laptop is a good idea as it will save you a lot of money.
Personally I have bought several and only had a few minor problems. I bought one from dell that came to me without the hard-drive, but they paid to have it shipped back and repaired it and sent it back to me within 2 weeks.
While most of them under-perform what you can buy normally, the price point is significantly less therefore making it a good investment.

Refurbs are tricky because they basically void the warranty that is issued when the unit is built. Sometimes they still apply and sometimes the manufacturer issues a 90 day warranty on refurbs.
Check with the manufacturer on the length of the rebate before you buy. You don't want to be stuck with a lemon that was cleaned up.

Its a role of the dice.
Make sure your Guarantee is in writing. And read the fine print. Some exclusions are rather nasty

Yup, just make sure you get a warranty from them. otherwise I'd recommend for you to buy a new one.

Yes, if there is a warranty and up to the specification you want it at.

Yes, if purchased from someone who will guarantee them.

yeah, they're just as good. although, they do tend to be somewhat scratched up and all.
