Refurb IBM laptops. How good a deal is this?


A major store here in NYC always has refurb IBM laptops that seem like
a pretty good deal. I'd like other opinions.

Yesterday they had a T30/256MB/40GB with XP/Pro (if it had WiFi, I
couldn't tell by looking) for $400. It looked clean.

90 day parts-only warrenty. two years full warranty for an extra $100
with a third party.

That machine is a **** sight better than the 1GHz Compaq laptop I use
now. I'd stuff more memory in that machine.

The store is J&R Music World which has a compter store as big as any
CompUSA or Best Buy and predictabbly has very competative prices.

I have no connection to J&R other than having been a happy customer
for decades.

The only think that worries me is that the sales guy I talked to said
that the store's usual 7 day no questions return policy didn't apply.
I have a fealing that I could get a second opinion on that if I pushed
them.
