Compaq Presario 2175us notebook 2400+, 512MB, 40Gb, DVD/CDRW, 802.11G Refurb $799

CompGeeks has a deal on a

Compaq Presario 2175us Notebook Factory Reconditioned loaded with

AMD Athlon XP 2400+ 512MB 40GB CDRW/DVD 15" w/WinXP Pro,Modem/NIC, 802.11G Wireless, 90 warranty for

A GEEK SPECIAL @ $799 + shipping...

Has anyone purchased a factory reconditioned notebook from CompGeeks? What sort of condition are these in? I am looking for laptop for someone and this might fit the bill, I just have never ordered a factory reconditioned from CompGeeks.

I do like the Presario 2175us computer, and it is pretty loaded?
What do you guys think?

they are loaded but a little on the heavy side @ 7.25 lbs.

refurb depot has the exact same model @ $950 (refurb) w/ 3 yr warrenty

A link would be nice.

What's APO/FPO address? The shipping costs considerably less when that option is check.

Arhhhh....I really want to buy this! Any coupon available?

 

[ThetaOne]

No coupons since it's a Geek Special...

Anyone know the condition of their refurb laptops?

 

[bradolson]

Linked

only 8 left

Will the salesperson be nice enough to include a carrycase if I order on the phone? Just want to maximize the value here.

 

[ThetaOne]

Huh?

Why would they include a case? I guess you could always call and find out.

 

[luvya]

Or even a faster shipping would be appreciated also....I am not very good at bargaining though.

 

[ThetaOne]

Not trying to be rude... but consider this...

Why are they going to bargain with you for something that will be sold out in about an hour?

 

[luvya]

Anyway, I went ahead and ordered one. I will let you guys know how it goes. By then, I suppose all 8 of them will be gone.

 

[ThetaOne]

I just jumped on one, myself...

The customer service rep. said that it is in new condition - can't tell the difference. Also, the batteries are apparently new from Compaq.

90-day warranty should cover any unexpected bugs, too.

Great deal, about $50-$100 less than Ebay.

 

[luvya]

Nice! I think our order will be shipped tomorrow instead of today.

What the heck I picked up one also, I need something for my niece and I think this will do just fine.

This Compaq Presario 2175us model was put on national clearance by Staples about 11 days ago for $584.50.
There are very few left; if any left new in box. However many stores have them as display or damaged models.
If you are lucky enough to find a display model with very few flaws of any kind - you will be getting a model with a full 1 year warranty from Compaq. Also YMMV - you can ask for a 5% - 10% discount due to the fact that it is a display model.

Good Luck finding these.

Well, now you are telling us

I don't remember seeing a thread about it, so $799 for me.
