I bought it to replace an
off-brand model I had that blew up.
I have been very happy with the purchase
though I do recommend getting it with
windows vista because xp is going to become
obsolete. (that's why the xp version is
so much more affordable..)
The shipping was very fast and the product
was used, but looked like it was brand new!
(It came from a company)

I bought one of these laptops two months ago. It has been working just fine. Today Microsoft told me that the license is not valid. It has a valid certificate of authenticity on the back but does not have a second "refurbished" CoA. When I look at the internal System Properties/General tab it says "XP Corporate" which means it was covered under a mass/site license which can not be transferred or sold. I will probably have to buy a fresh copy of XP ($100) and re-install.

Before I made the order I checked to see that the advertisement specified "Genuine Windows XP". I also checked the CoA when it arrived. When the Microsoft updater offered to run "Genuine Advantage" to check the authenticity I confidently thought "sure, go right ahead."

BEWARE!

I wanted to get my feet wet with my first laptop for home use. Not wanting to spend four figures, I decided to take a chance with a refurbished Dell Lattitude D610. I opted for a unit that was upgraded to 1.86 GHZ/1GB/100GB HD, It seemd to be a no-brainer for an extra $25. When the package arrived, I was hesitant to open it. I had pictured some beat up, well used machine. I was in for a big surprise. Aside from a few very superficial scratches on the shell, the machine appeared in great shape. I've been told that these lease machines generally are in good shape. The next few hours were spent testing it with no failures. Everything worked as advertised. The mouse and key board were responsive, no broken pixels on the screen. CD/DVD drive in perfect order and the USB ports (all four)worked fine. The Wifi connect immediatly picked up a few LAN's on my street. I piggy-backed to test that feature, but will pick up a router soon. Battery life was around 3 hours and charge time is minimal. Link-Tronics in Santa Anna did a fine job refurbishing the unit and shipping was very quick (paid extra for priority). All in all a great machine for the money. We'll see how it goes long term...



12/20/2010 update: Still works perfect, no probelms.

Tampa laptops is a great company to purchase from. I originally recieved a laptop that had been damaged in transit from Fl to NC, and they were so nice and accomodating on the phone, offering to replace the computer with one that works perfectly. I was highly impressed with the level of service and how promptly they responded, just very friendly and professional. I was originally skeptical about it being used, but I've had no problems whatsoever, it's in fantastic shape and I'm truly happy with it. I'd definitely buy from them again . Okay I'm done gushing now. Thanks guys at Tampa Laptops!

The computer came as described. We were very happy with what we got. It was a gift for my daughter and she loves it. It does everything she needs it to do. A few scratches on the top, but she never noticed. The battery life is longer than the newer laptop that I have. I would certainly order through this company again. We felt like we got a great deal.

this is a nice laptop. have not had any problems with it yet. has some minor scuff marks on it but other then that it works good. i un-installed the clam win anti virus that comes with it and installed avira anti-vir on it. it does not come with recovery disks but you can make your own however mine took 11 CD-rs as it would not let me burn it to dvd.you will need nero or other burning software to split the data onto 11 CD-Rs as it won't do it by it-self. you will have to save the backup data to your HD then use your burning software to create a backup cd and select the file from your HD. once its done burning to the cds make sure to delete it from the HD and reboot to clear it.

Item description said it will have 2GB RAM but laptop has 1GB RAM. Item description said it had 120GB hard drive - in reality it only had 56GB. Item description said it will have antivirus pre-loaded.It did not have any AV. After ordering the item, they said the description they showed me was not what they had said. Disappointed that item description was simply a bait to lure people in.

I simply needed an affordable laptop to replace one that died. My husband typically purchases electronics for both of us through auction sites (and does get some great deals.) This time, I wanted to do this on my own. I am not technically savvy, but have an idea of what I am looking for, based on past experience. All the information was here that I needed, the reviews were really helpful! It was very easy to set up- out of the box, plugged it in, got it linked to our wi-fi and it was good to go. I think it came with some type of anti-virus software, but I installed the free AVG myself. It's been great for what I need...browsing and e-mail. Plan on buying a lap desk/cooling fan and a webcam for it, in the future. Extremely happy with my purchase!

After a few days with this laptop, all is fine but if they would update internet explorer from 6 to 8, before shipping, it would prevent alot of trouble. After a 2+ hour download of explorer-8, the pc sped up to expectations and, for the money, is in near new condition and a fine buy.

The computer was OK but arrived a week late, i was worried, becouse never before took that long to get my stuff
