Have you purchased refurbished products before? Are cosmetic defects always expected?

i have not purchased refurbished but the estranged did for one of the other kids and it was little, fat and square.

We have two Toshiba laptops and you couldn’t tell them from new other than the boxes weren’t branded. I usually buy most electronics as refurbs right from the manufacturer. The only time I recall a cosmetic defect was one power mac that had a small scratch. Usually they will disclose if there are defects like this in the description.

I have purchased refurbs personally, and professionally for the field techs I used to drive like hebrew slaves. Most of the time, there are 0 cosmetic defects on the refurbs.

Out of 25+ refurbs, 0 problems. I generally prefer the HPs and avoid Dells.
