Yes, they're refurbished - some people have a problem with that but I've never had an issue with any refurbished computer equipment I've bought. Also, like most refurbished equipment, they only come with a 90 day warranty.

I ordered 2 - my kids are getting them for Christmas (freshman and senior in high school). They've been wanting tablets and I think the only thing that would make them happier would be iPads (which isn't in the realm of possibilities).

My thought is to unbox them and make sure everything works and apply software updates. Then I'll burn them in for a few days (haven't figured out exactly what I'll run for that) to make sure everything is running OK before reboxing and wrapping them.

I think my only regret will be that I didn't buy one for myself...
