Refurbished laptops on TigerDirect.com...anybody ever buy one? Are they virtuous?

I'm thinking almost buying one, but I've never bought a refurbished laptop before. I wonder how reliable it will be. It's a Gateway 15" for $399. I won't catalogue all the specs here, but it appears to be a honourable computer. I'm just wondering if anybody have ever bought a refurbished laptop, especially from TigerDirect, and whether it worked out for you.

Answer:
I just bought a laptop on TigerDirect. I be very lively. My computer is "called refurbished - Open Box". There is a tab on TigerDirect call "Open Box". It means that it be returned to TigerDirect - maybe missing a warranty, etc. It may be that it be just an plain box, but they still refurbish it.
They are reputable - I work in a conservatory and our school district have guys that work on repairing computers for teachers. They notably recommended TigerDirect to me. Any more questions my e-mail is: BostonGibbs73@Yahoo.
a moment ago a few things to think something like:

-did they wipe the hard drive
-how plentiful hours does it have
-what is the freestyle life
-are the key stickey?


you should see if you can try before you buy. There are alot of things to reason about beforehand buying a reb. laptop
Yes, I bought a refurbished Acer from Tigerdirect earlier this year and it have been biddable. Its a 2nd computer but it seems approaching I work on it as much as my main one. The just thing I find for a time frustrating is that the screen could be a fleece brighter in some oil lamp, but that's minor. Its been a right machine.
