There is no logical reason for retailers to sell substandard laptops but, they can buy what is called 'b' grades from manufacturers. Also end of lines where there is a new model available, and the builders want to dump their old stock with a lower end specification. Check the specification and compare with what is available elsewhere. You could get a good deal. They are out there.
