I bought two of these laptops in November for a gift. When Christmas came i gave tgd beautiful gifts. Guess what! ! Both laptops have the same Windows 8 product key installed. The laptops couldn't be activated. The beautiful gifts was returned back to me. It was embarrassing. I called Dell and they stated that the computers originally had Windows 8.1 installed and now someone installed Windows 8. The warranty was about to expire but they try to help. They couldn't activate windows. They ended up sending me a flash drive with windows 8.1 and the new product keys. I had to reinstall windows in both laptops. I'm lucky because I have a little bit of technical understanding about computers.

This laptop is a great laptop and the price was fantastic. But it was also a Geek Squad certified refurb purchase. I bought 3 of these systems and all three systems had problems. Two of them had to be sent to dell to be repaired (but at least they still had dell warranties) and the third laptop didnt have the correct widows8 key installed. Even for all the problems it was worth it after putting a 250GB samsung pro SSD in the laptop.

It's bad exp. and wasting time. The notebook works well except its touch-screen function never work. Try to exchange in store, not an option. Return to BB warehouse for exchange, out of stock. It ended up with refund and a empty desk during these time. I had to keep shopping.

Liked the computer, but I could not get Windows to activate. When I called Microsoft, the tech told me I should call Dell. After 3 hours with the Dell tech, she proposed having me ship back the laptop so they could replace the motherboard. I returned it and bought a different brand.

I did have trouble with the WiFi at first. But after going through all of the updates it is working great. It took nearly a day of downloading and restarting etc for everything to be updated, which is why I took a star away.

QuestionIf i didnt like the refurbished laptop then can i return the laptop
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer You can return the laptop to a store for a refund within 14 days (longer during the holidays around Nov and Dec). And you most likely will be returning it because it probably won't work. I just ordered one online and I have to return it because it doesn't work.

QuestionDoes this come with a valid Windows 8 license?The reviews show customers getting multiple laptops with no Windows 8 product key. Is one supposed to be included with this laptop? The description online shows it includes Windows 8.
Asked 11 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Windows 8+ has moved to bios-based keys so you don't have or get a number. It is pre-"built" into the system.

Questionwarrantyit looks like non accidental warranty also stays only till US. can you tell me if a new dell from best buy give me international warranty
Asked 11 years ago by vikram.
- Answer The warranty on this computer is not through Dell (the manufacturer), it is through the Best Buy store. I would not recommend buying a refurbished computer from Best Buy unless you are located near a Best Buy store. I bought this computer and it arrived unusable. I was told that my only recourse was to return it to a store for a refund or take it to a store to have it sent out for repair. They have the worst customer service of any store I have ever shopped at. If you are not located in the US, I would expect the experience to be even worse for you.

QuestionWarrantyI wanna buy this laptop, but I will be moving to India in few months may be forever, so will i get 1 year accidental warranty and any other warranty that i am suppose to get?
Asked 11 years ago by vikram.
- Answer This refurbished Dell laptop does come with a limited one year warranty (see link below for terms) and you should have the option to purchase a Geek Squad Protection plan with accidental damage coverage. Please keep in mind thought that the accidental damage coverage does not apply to international services. http://bit.ly/1lOIMz3 Thanks!
