    This is a great starter computer if you just need access to the internet and not gaming or anything fancy. No nonsence machine.

    I don't normally buy refurbished stuff and this is the reason why. It worked for 1 day and then the operating system crashed. I took it back since it was Geek Squad ceritified and they reloaded the operating system. I give this three start since everything is working great after that initial snafu.

    I had some issues with this computer. I ended up returning it to best buy and up graded to a Lenovo Ideacentre 700. I can't say enough good things about that computer. I may have been happy with the 300 if it wasn't faulty; but knowing how much better the 700 is made me happy Best Buy allowed me to upgrade. Best Buy is awesome to deal with! And I think Lenovo makes a great product in their 700 Ideacentre!
