Grinchie, your Lenovo "deal" is no deal at all. The Celeron N4500 is clunky, only a 2-core 2-thread machine with only a 1.1gh clock speed (max is 2.8ghz, which is what most 'modern' laptops START at). For $20 more they can get a system twice as fast, with twice the functionality. They don't need 20G ram or 1TB storage. They're a casual user. Most people don't even use the 256GB that is standard on laptops these days.

Even the latest Intel N100 processors are barely adequate. There are a lot more deals in laptops above 3.5 pounds if you are not too hung up with the 3 pound weight limit.

They only charge a restocking fee if you don't return it in the same condition as when you opened it, or if you return it after 15 days. Just make sure to keep all packaging, and do a factory reset on the laptop before returning it.

I would add that, if Best Buy installs any software, they will charge you for it.

Personally, I would never buy a computer that had been returned.

I have zero qualms about purchasing a returned laptop. I was in the IT field for 40 years, so I'm very comfortable with anything I might run into. If there really are issues with the laptop (and not just buyers remorse), I can always return it.

The laptop I purchased was on sale for $899 (normal price $1,499, and it's back to that now). I got a returned laptop in excellent condition for $751 - nearly another $150 savings. First thing I did was to factory reset it. Zero issues and saved a ton of $$$'s.
