Wow!
You didn't wait long for responses to your original question, did you? Precisely 15 minutes!

What IS the computer?

My teenage son has just bought a refurb Acer laptop from Dixons and it looks brand new.

There was a problem with it failing to boot up every time but after a quick google we found that a BIOS update should solve it.

I telephoned the helpline on bank holiday Monday and a very helpful man talked me through the download and updating of the BIOS.

Fingers crossed, it is all working well now.

He got a very good spec laptop for much less than the new price.

AHh I bought a Refurb Acer (aspire 6020g) laptop also, about £500 (though found some £30 off voucher), I think its' quite a good deal, has blu ray etc

No reason not to buy a refurb as long as it has the same warranty as a new one. It may have very minor cosmetic defects but everything else should be as good, if not better than new.
But I wouldn't be looking to buy from Currys in the first place.

Refurbished means they've previously been returned for a reason - most likely faulty and repaired.

We bought three last year and two of them died within a fortnight.
