Was careful to shop for brand new. Purchased this for a client. Although the refurb is factory, that is NOT what I purchased. Tiger Direct via Amazon, would not use again.

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 couldn’t agree more with the other reviews regarding the deceptiveness of some outfits – in this case Tiger – in selling refurbished items as new. I felt that it was important, however, to review the product and not the vendor. I’ve used the D610 professionally with great success for several years. I was so pleased with its performance that I bought one for my personal use as well as two more for my in-laws. I bought all three as refurbs but I knew what I was getting and the price was unbeatable at approximately $250.00 each. If you’re a wannabe geek such as I am, you can easily find all of the service literature necessary to service the D610 yourself. I’ve never had to service any of the three that I bought, but I did expand the memory in all of them. I was pleased with how easy the upgrade was, how well engineered the product is, and how clear the service literature is as well. I bought a hard drive caddy and an additional 80GB HD to fit in the CD port, so now I have 2 bootable HDs and a ton of storage. If forced to search for a negative, the only thing I can come up with is the click action of the pointing device. The feel is a bit stiff and the sound is somewhat irritating. That said, if the pointing device ever became bothersome enough a USB mouse could be purchased for a couple of bucks. I was looking for another D610 to buy for my wife when I stumbled upon these reviews so I felt compelled to put in my two cents worth. Good luck with whatever product you choose!
