not too familiar now with laptop technology nowadays. the last laptop I owned was a dell inspirion 640m, it wasn't very portable but served its purpose.

In fact, that refurb is most likely coming from an ex-office worker, where the machine is off the corporate lease. You can always replace the battery too to get max life. Lenovo has parts & inventory of their main Thinkpad line to service corporations.
