Re: Refurbished Thinkpads



"... Can anybody share experiences with me on refurbished Thinpads ? ..."

~~~~~
yes, i much prefer them to the old, bulky thikpads.  : )

when we were buying thinkpads, we were buying refurbs almost exclusively.  big 
price break vs. buying new.  exact same 3-year warranty from date of purchase 
as if they were new.  availability is often actually better than new because 
the models a couple steps down from the latest & greatest are always in high 
demand & show up more often as refurbs at the outlet than new at ibm sales.  
the downside is that they haven't always actually *been* refurbished, so 1 in 3 
has a problem that needs fixing.  fortunately, in my experience, ezserv never 
takes more than 3 or 4 days to fix them & get them back to me.

as always, your mileage may vary.
