250GB 5400rpm SATA Hard Drive
Lightscribe SuperMulti DVD Burner
802.11 a/b/g/n WLAN & Integrated Bluetooth adapter
5-in-1 Media Card Reader
Integrated Webcam & Microphone

1) Bad memory
2) Bad OEM install
3) Bad HD
4) Bad processor? Never heard of that happening...maybe they forgotthermal paste?
5) Dead CPU fan
It seems like if the laptop was sent in for any of those reasons, they would just replace the broken part with a new one
So, any reason why I should consider not buying a referbished laptop?
