Have a look at Dell you will get a new one for not much more than that

I got a refurbished laptop from IBM and it has been excellent so far (three years). Of course there is the risk of having problems with it later, but for $300 what can you expect? The screen could burn, the disk could get damaged, etc.

I used to work for Dell and you're rolling your dice.
Some are just as good as new ones.
And others have subtle problems that couldn't be diagnosed so the just sent them out again as being refurbished without ever finding out what was really wrong with them.
I'd say if your work, business, or grades depend on your laptop working don't rish it.
