Manufacturer refurbished laptop?

Hello everyone, I found an HP laptop on Ebay that has exactly the specs I want even more, BUT it's manufacturer refurbished, is that a bad thing?? did anyone buy a laptop that was refurbished before?

Here are the main specs that it has:

-Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-820QM Quad Core Processor 1.73GHz/8MB L3 Cache/1333MHz FSB with Turbo Boost up to 3.06GHz

-8GB DDR3 System Memory (4 Dimm)

-500GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive with HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection

-1GB ATI Mobility Radeon (TM) HD 4830 Graphics - For i7 Processors

-and most importantly it has a 15in 1920x1080p screen, finally I found a 15in laptop with a FULL HD screen.

anyways what you guys think?? worth the money?? safe to buy from Ebay?? also the seller has a %100 postive feedback.

Thanks!

I have a refurbished desktop( see my system specs) that I purchased from Cosco over 3 years ago.
Just recently I got a bargain on a refurbished laptop i5, 6GB DDR3, 2 separate HD's 250 each with a 17.3 screen by HP from Sam's Club. for $350. No they don't have any left.

Caution:IMHO I would not buy refurbished on Ebay. I would only buy refurbished from local Box Store or reputable sites on the web.

I have had no trouble with either so far. The only thing I would replace is the operator!

Your gut is telling you NO ..............Don't buy it! IMO
There will always a better and safer deal tomorrow!

I got an Hp refurb from TigerDirect 4 months, ago. It's fine.

This one on ebay seems over priced for a refurb.

I've purchased two refurbished laptops from TigerDirect and they both have been good but you are limited on the warranty so factoring in the extended warranty would be prudent !

The price is steep. Compare to this $900 system from Office Depot. And I would never buy anything that costs more than 3 bucks from Ebay..

Can't go wrong with Toshiba !

Asus looks nice for a lot less !
