amazon refurbished laptop safe?

noisebomb44

So im looking to buy a refurbished laptop, were i will save an extreme ammount of money compared to a new one

The company selling it is called C2ec (92% positive over the last 12 months) and the reson for it being refurbished is "The product was used only for advertising purposes in my store, and the price is so low because has been unpacked-,full warranty, full accessories"

 

Now, im asking myself, can i trust them, and if it doesnt come with a full warranty, can i just send it back to amazon and get all of my money back?

 

I did google this before, but the reactions were so mixed and a lot of them bought it from shady companies with a low rating

TL;TR

A company with 92 positive rating is selling a extremely cheap refurbished laptop and it apparantly comes with a full warranty, can i send it back to amazon if something goes wrong, and have you had any good or bad experience with refurbished laptops?

I would totally go for it if it's a good notebook. On Amazon you should be able to send it back within 14 days anyways.
I bought my monitor from Amazon for $50 less than what it usually costs, because it has a scratch on the back. But I never had a problem with it.

yeah, maybe that will be a problem since the laptop has probably been sitting plugged into the wall every day in the store it was placed in

The only problem is that it takes about 10 days for them to ship to me, but i could probably send it back if its broken even though 14 days has gone
