Refurbished: Is It Trustworthy? What is Refurbished?

Hello, Everyone!

Today I'm going to post about the "Refurbished."

I'm pretty sure that Apple users are quite familiar with the word 'refurbished,' since Apple provides refurbished products when you find your i-phone defective due to Apple's fault within a year (warranty policy varies by regions). People usually are more than happy that they can get a new phone instead of faulty a year or less old phone.

So, What are Refurbished Products?

Refurbished products are the products that were returned once (or more) by another customer due to its defect, then repaired by the original manufacturer. 

For example, if I got a new Samsung Galaxy Note 3 but I returned because its speaker did not work, Samsung takes the faulty Galaxy Note 3 and repairs it, and sell it again with a cheaper price. The important thing is, that the original manufacturer fixed it, in this case Samsung, not Geek Squad. 

Refurbishment is the distribution of products (usually electronics) that have been previously returned to a manufacturer or vendor for various reasons. Refurbished products are normally tested for functionality and defects before they are sold, and thus are the approximate equivalent of certified pre-owned cars. - Wikipedia 

Sometimes the manufacturer uses a brand-new exterior if it shows some usage and fill it with the repaired content, and sometimes they just keep using the returned exterior. 

Then, Why do People Seek for Refurbished Products?

The very first and the last reason is, of course, because they are CHEAPER. 

For a very recent example, my loveliest a5000 with 16-50mm lens was paid for $339.99 instead of the official price of $448.00, which is apx. $110 cheaper for being produced by the same manufacturer, Sony!

But, But, But, Can I Trust Refurbished Products?

However, I understand your worries, my whiny babies. 
For those who are afraid of buying refurbished products,
I can tell you that I'm usually not hesitant to buy refurbished products, because they look brand-new, and they work perfectly fine (when they did a good job this time!) and they are way cheaper than original ones!

Think about this.

When you accidentally broke a button on your LG Gpad (Tablet PC), whom do you call?
The original manufacturer, LG! 

To get GPad fixed! Then, what happens? 
You pay for the repair, and get your stuff back, with happiness that your Gpad works perfectly again!

A Refurbished product is not different from that, OK? 

So, my answer to 'Can I trust refurbished product?' is YES.(Doesn't mean that you can trust all sellers!)

But, I want my new laptop to be PERFECT!

I understand that! :)

It's your choice to accept a little hurt but perfect laptop or just non-touched new-born laptop!
