6 year old processor (and most likely laptop) and you are not mentioning refurb in title. Says on the site in bold red: IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
This is a reconditioned product and has a 90 (ninety) day limited manufacture warranty. I wouldnt trust flyer.

Newegg yesterday had a skylake i5 for $350, I know, no time machine. But its a good reference point in terms of processor to price.

The thinner 9470m is $299 on ebay(newegg) http://www.ebay.ca/itm/HP-EliteBook-947 ... SwcUBYU~v0
I was curious about it before I bought my Lenovo, but the newegg reps said the 9470m were unused refurbs (This could have changed, so send em a msg)
Thank you for contacting Newegg.

I am happy to help you. After checking I found this item has a warranty of 2 years provided by HP. The item is not damaged, were never used, but the factory seal was broken. Refurbished items may come in a white or brown box instead of the original retail packaging. All accessories pictured on the item page are included, unless otherwise stated. Refurbished items come with all retail packaging and accessories listed in the pictures and details tab on the item description page.

Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns. We'll be more than glad to assist you. Until then, thank you for contacting Newegg. Have an EGGcellent day!

Thank you,

Sally Z

Really a pretty cold deal for a laptop of this age. 5-generations old CPU, no SSD, poor 1366x768 panel, bulky design (with DVD drive).

The standard price for a Thinkpad T420 (same generation) is around $200 on ebay, and Thinkpads set the standard for used laptops due to their durability and repairability. Most T430s (Ivy Bridge, newer lower power consumption) are also under $300.

Here's a refurb T430 with an SSD for $299 from Newegg ebay store (1 year warranty):

Where did you found your Dell laptop? $350 is a very good price. I want to pick for one too.

wow and I'd thought I'm the only one still using this laptop.

current specs.

3820T-6608 i5-480M, 8GB ram, 480gig SSD

I love its size! can't find anything that would replace it because.. of its size.

what come close is a RAZOR LAPTOP sold at the Micro soft store.

I realize this isn't everyone's experience but the three people I know that ended up buying one of these refurb PC's over the last few years had nothing but issues. Plus when I was working at Visions, people kept coming in complaining about these after buying and we basically told them fk off because laptops / tablets are final sale.
