Hi, > 2) please advice me If I buy this machine is that a wise decision or > refurbished machines are of high risk ? You have to ponder the fact that notebook are always fragile machines: - they are moved around often, so more subject to miss handeling (a notebook is more likely to fall from your lap than a desktop is likely to fall from your desk) - they are compact, less ventilation, more subject to over heating => component aging faster - they use smaller components, so less robusts I would always buy a new machine if I can. I hope you have a waranty that comes with your refurbished machine. Bests, olivier
