I am looking for laptop and see there are plenty if refurbished options and these cost few hundred cheaper.
So what is the differences between refurbished and new?

I am looking at newegg shop and there are refurbished options. not sure what is better, to buy new or to buy refurbished and save few hundreds $.

If you don't care about condition = refurb

Refurb laptops are fine imho. Never really had much of an issue.

Not sure what you're looking for but I see woot.com deals all the time and that's usually where I get my laptops when they are on sale. You just have to check it everyday.

Refurbished means they are sent back to manufacturer and given an inspection and fixed. Most of the time you won't be able to distinguish it from new. Most refurbs have less warranty though like 90 days vs new may have 1-2 years.

I've never had an issue with any refurbished item personally.

thanks for your help and answers.
So as I understand the condition is like new and the operating system is also like new.
Just a warranty is shorter.

I am looking at lenovo x1 carbon, in my country it cost about $2700, from usa shops i can get for $1800 same laptop.Refurbished cost even less, like $1500.

Could be rebuilt repaired or simply an open box item that was returned to manufacturer and then quality control check repackaged and resold.
