    Don't cry, get this one instead if you like Toshiba. It's better anyway.

    It's good. Don't you worry about it. It will arrive shiny and new. Only the box will like it was touched. Full warranty. Send it back for a full refund if you don't like the look.

    Don't miss a bargain for a lack of reason.

    There is nothing better in that price range. If you want to buy new, there is the Fujitsu in post #2195. Same warranty and conditions though. So just choose without worrying about the 'refurbished' tag, as you can return with seven working days for a 'no quibble' refund anyway. Don't stress...

    You mean Argos Outlet....they are £399.99 in store. ;) Overpriced I might add, as I'm not sure they are actually the machine advertised. Perhaps the L750. Let us know the model number when it arrives.

    i'm sure the advert says it is the L755.....
