i think it means it was returned by a customer as unwanted and its been tested and it works but sold as second hand or maybe it was returned as faulty and been fixed and sold as a refurb

If you buy a laptop online and you decide that it doesn't suit you for any reason, you can send it back with seven days with no questions asked.
But now it cannot be resold as new. So it is checked and cleaned and sold to you at a substantial discount. The box may be battered, but the machine will likely be in as new condition. If it isn't, reject it.

Have not seen those distinctions on the website...of course it's not correct.

Of course we can not know exactly the provenance of each machine. In general, most people report their machines in new condition.
You can still return the machine no questions asked if you are not happy.

what you mean

the item description says its a refurb which to me means its been bought and returned for whatever reason

fujitsu are cheap and very good quality, I am an authorised distributor of another major brand but are not allowed to advertise here.

It's just your use of terminology that brings confusion. I'm sure that wasn't your intention.

graded is another word for refurbs. All they do is re-install the software
