If the price difference is justified, I can't argue with a refurb. Most of my purchases from Dell (mainly laptops, a couple monitors) in the past 10+ years have been refurbs from the outlet. On a sale, about 20-30% discount over new, and they are essentially like-new with full warranties, etc. Never really had a problem except one laptop that was a little wonky at hte start, but got fixed and went on to last 7 years.

If someone is offering me $50 off a $800 device that has been "seller refurbished" , yeah, I'm just gonna buy new.
