Refurb HPs off Ebay are the best deals I've found lately.

Something like this one:

Is this seller safe, and is buying refurbished laptops safe?

I got my current laptop from this seller, refurbished.

It only comes with a 90-day warranty, mind you, but you can get a one or two year warranty from HP or Squaretrade for around $100-$250 depending on the terms and length of it.

Is there anyway to upgrade the resolution @RoZmX

 

[RoZmX]

I wish there was. I want 1600 x 900 in my laptop too. and Lenovo has great options. only thing holding me back is the resolution. I know the Thinkpad has up gradable resolution.
