Awesome laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was not expecting the laptop I got for $400 It was like NEW. Since it said refurbished I was expecting some type of wear but to my surprise it was NEW. The specs on this laptop are far superior than some laptops at even twice the price. You just cant go wrong with this laptop. I have it for almost a bit over a month and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful Bargain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as a graduation gift for my son. It arrived and initially would not start. After several hours of charging it started and I was able to begin setting it up. Next issue was the battery would not surpass 51% charge level and if unplugged would shut itself off immediately. HP system scan found a battery fault and started me through a replacement process that required me to remove the battery to get the model and serial information. This simple step corrected all the issues. Next hurdle was Windows 8, dislike very much. Found app to mimic 7 features, installed many software updates and personal programs. Son is extremely happy with the result. Wonderful laptop, truly an amazing deal with a hiccup or two, but over all WONDERFUL.

Great laptop; bad Best Buy customer service
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately this review is more about the lack of customer service from Best Buy than the product itself. We were saving this laptop as a graduation gift and when the gift was opened, we discovered that it was shipped with the wrong power adapter. At first I thought, "No problem, we'll just go to the store and they'll exchange it for the right one." They did not. I was told that Best Buy policy was for me to return the entire laptop, get my money back, and buy a new laptop with the correct cord. Why did they not just exchange the cord with one that fit off of the shelf? Why did they not agree to remedy the problem that they caused in the most convenient way for the customer? Why would I want to return a gift and start the laptop shopping process all over again because of their mistake? I am extremely dissatisfied with their lack of customer service. Buyer beware.

Q: QuestionWarranty or protection plan?Does this come with any warranty? Further,is there a 1-year protection plan that can be added, and what price?
Asked by Gurdas.
- A:Answer This refurbished HP does come with a limited one year warranty, which you can read more about via the link below. You should also have the option of a 1 or 2 year Geek Squad Protection plan. The prices will differ depending on which plan you select. I would encourage you to speak with a store associate for specific pricing. http://bit.ly/1lOIMz3 I hope that helps!
