    What Laptop?

    As far as I know, they are either certified refurbished, scratched, dented or customer returns. A lot of people who buy scratched or dented say they are very minor (4-5mm scratch on the base for example) so still a brand new laptop. You can return it back to Dell within 10 days if your not...
