looks like it would have been another 150 for a non refurbished one.

I bought my computer refurbashed, its a $1600 HP laptop, it was bought by a company and it was a custom build. It was never opened, and returned. Since it was custom made, they can't sell it as new. I got it for $900. This was 2 years ago, nearly 3 years, and its still faster then most of the computer I use. Even the new ones.
