<p>My laptop died after my sophomore year (2 years ago) so I went the refurbished route on the advice of a friend and its worked out great. I found mine at CheetahDeals. It’s honestly worked out better than my original did when I was a freshman (I do some gaming) and it has a full warranty on it now. It’s just over two years old but its still going strong and I don’t see why I couldn’t go more than four. Heres the link if you’re interested: [Great</a> Deals on Refurbished Computers and Accessories - CheetahDeals Education](<a href=“http://www.cheetahdeals.com/v/vspfiles/templates/CheetahDeals/education.html]Great”>http://www.cheetahdeals.com/v/vspfiles/templates/CheetahDeals/education.html)</p>
<p>Hopefully this helps, good luck in the fall.</p>
