There are heaps of misconceptions to do with reconditioned and refurbished laptops. Hopefully this article will put these to bed.
Firstly, it should be made clear that reconditioned laptops are never used. If they ARE then they should be labelled clearly as such by the seller.
Secondly, let’s admit that there are a few different definitions of refurbished, but they all essentially mean the same thing: “made to be as good as if it were new”.
When stock comes in to be refurbished, each notebook is opened and examined to see if anything needs to be done to it to make it ‘as good as new’. This might be replacing a keyboard or anything else.
All replacement parts are of the highest quality to ensure customer satisfaction.
Refurb stock sometimes comes direct from the manufacturer to the consumer as refurbished, or occasionally to a company excelling in refurbishment if the manufacturer does not refurb in-house. The refurbishment company then sells the item to the end user.
PROS
• Immediate savings
• Speed – items usually sent from stock instead of built-to-order
• Support – refurbishment companies are often easier to contact and speak to a real person or even visit than the larger manufacturers.
• Often refurbished items are upgraded to a higher spec than the original item, such as more memory/ram or a larger hard drive.
• Items come with warranty offered by refurbisher.
CON
• People sometimes worry that refurbs are inferior.
In summary; you have nothing to fear in buying reconditioned notebooks, except there may be occasional blemishes, marks or scratches on the item. The Vendor should state this in their description.
It is worth making clear, however, that many refurbished items are absolutely cosmetically fine, as the reason it was put aside for refurbishment in the first place may have been a hardware issue.
http://www.NDC.co.uk sells quality refurbished laptops for delivery worldwide. They are an official Dell partner and send items from stock, often same-day.

Hey Fellow Marketer,
I hope you’re having a profitable day today 
One of the things that really frustrates me is
the fact that most of the internet marketing
products that come out are either the same’ ol
rehashed material or don’t live up to their
promises.
I cannot count the number of times I’ve bought
ebooks that were full of double-spaced fluff.
Check this out: internet marketer Russell
Brunson has released a FREE Video with none
other than Vince James…the guy who made
77 million in a single year with techniques
most people DON’T know.
This video is packed with info you simply
haven’t heard from anybody else. Even Russell
himself said the info Vince revealed filled in
the gaps of his $100,000 marketing library.
Pretty cool, eh?
So head on over to:
http://phatmktng.TheSecondTier.com/12mim
…and see what the fuss is about.
Get this: Russell held onto this video for
2 1/2 years and used the material to catapult
his business into the stratosphere. It can do the
same for you too.
So take action today and go to:
http://phatmktng.TheSecondTier.com/12mim
Take care,
Tony Finbarr-Smith
P.S. The great Gary Halbert had this to say about
Vince Jame’s marketing savvy: “Believe it or not,
much of this information is so electrifying;
it was unknown even to me.” Here’s your chance to
find out what he’s talking about…

If you think being educated about a new profession from a guy who pleaded guilty to Fraud and Money Laundering is a bad idea… then this is not for you:
>>> http://phatmktng.thesecondtier.com/12mim
If you think learning to make millions of dollars from a guy who almost lost $48 Million in a brutal lawsuit – practically making him homeless is a bad idea… then this is not for you:
>>> http://phatmktng.thesecondtier.com/12mim
If you think discovering how to live the “good life” from a guy who was facing 10 years in prision is a bad idea… again… this is not your book.
>>> http://phatmktng.thesecondtier.com/12mim
But if you are looking for the real.. the genuine… the no BS way to become filthy rich, and at the same time avoid any of the pitfalls massive success comes with… then this will be the most rewarding thing you’ve ever read:

Tony.
P.S. Did I mention that this guy made over $100,000,000 in just 23 months. He made some mistakes, but what you can learn from him can change ANY business forever. Get started now:
There’s this crazy Californian guy who is like no other marketer on the planet.
He’s an ex private detective and a wild sales guy. (He’s also part of a crazy surfing clan with none other then Frank Kern)
His name is Jason Moffatt and this guy tells it like it is. Maybe a bit too much at times.
Today he’s released a shocking free report called “The Truth Serum”.
You can get it here…
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3375896
I warn you, it really is a bit shocking and holds no punches.
Jason really doesn’t hold back and just lets it all hang out.
This is a must read if you are marketing on the web.
It’s short (only 18 pages and is loaded with real world examples on how you can leverage “The Truth” in your favour….
http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3375896
Sincerely,
Tony
PS: Even Mel Gibson makes a special appearance in The Truth Serum
report. (OMG This guy is crazy)
I just watched a free video showing how a guy went from 6 figure a year, to 7 figures, all the way to 8 FIGURES A YEAR in his online business! But the real kicker is he is doing the EXACT same thing you are… just focusing on 9 tiny steps!
You can see the free video here:
This video is from Internet Multi-Millionaire Russell Brunson. A few months ago he spoke on stage at an event where those in attendance…
…paid over $2000 each to attend.
For the next few days Russell is giving you access to his 90 minute presentation where he shows you how he’s making 8 figures a year (yes, that’s a lot of zero’s) just following 9 “tiny” steps every day.
Russell breaks down everything that he did to grow his small business (from the basement of his home) to an 8 Figure a year Mega Success.
GO WATCH THIS VIDEO NOW before he takes it down (or starts charging for it)-

Thanks,
- Tony
P.S. – inside the free members area there is also an awesome report called, “The IM-Myth” that you get when you watch the video I mentioned above – be SURE to print out that report and you’ll see the power of what Russell is talking about.
http://12mim.re-voo.com
Oh yeah, I should tell you that Russell will offer you some things for sale, and if you do buy them, I will get a small commission – this doesn’t increase the prices in any way, but I will probably spend the commissions on sweets that will rot my teeth (or more likely something nice for our new baby daughter)
This incredible video embedder takes any youtube video, strips it of its youtube branding, and you can embed it in a page.
This basically means you never have to pay for video hosting/streaming again!
here’s an example:
(that’s me singing, by the way).
OK, so how do you get this player?
It comes free as a tool within your Traffic Geyser subscription.

Today is my Wedding Anniversary, AND our first Baby is due tomorrow!! so I’m an awfully excited boy ^_^
ok, “Brand” new blog post: Apologies for crappy play on words, but I had a thought while reading John Reese’s latest report, and it concerns branding. Get it? ‘Brand’ New? oh forget it.
(here’s the link to his report: It’s not an affiliate link and I make no money off it. http://www.income.com/blog/2009/10/13/internet-marketing-2010-the-road-ahead/)
But first the thought that I had: How sexy is a brand?
John mentions someone in a ‘Samurai Speed’ t-shirt and someone flipping out asking where he’d gotten said t-shirt…
my thought was ‘hmmm, I wonder how many brands are so UNsexy they would look quite UNcool on a t-shirt.
Wal-Mart, Dell and Microsoft spring to mind.
So anyway, I realise that only a cool market warrants a cool brand name (‘extreme groceries’ might never replace Wal-Mart as a brand), but is that REALLY a hard and fast rule?
I Imagine a club aimed at a bunch of nerds might benefit from a cool name… ‘Neutron Squad’ or somethign like that, perhaps?
Anyway, I’ll stop rambling now.
Go read his report now – he’s not selling anything, this is not an affilaite link and I make nothing from giving you the report – I simply thought you might like it! 
http://www.income.com/blog/2009/10/13/internet-marketing-2010-the-road-ahead/
What’s in it? In John’s own words:
“I talk about some of the things I’ve been up to and changes that are affecting Internet Marketing.
Here’s Some Of What I Cover In This Report:
* How I made a bone-head mistake and lost over $350,000.
* My thoughts on “Social Media” and why some will hate what I have to say.
* Did you know… The FTC just changed the entire game of marketing.
* Why your traffic generation efforts better get ‘smarter.’
* Don’t do ‘this’ or you and your business might be doomed.
* How you need to position your business and why.”
Anyway, I hope you find the report interesting , and have a nice day!
Oh yeah, do some commenting on sexy brands, will ya?
Any brands that scream sexy cool to you (apart from Russell Brand, of course!!)
p.s. Did you ever see the video where I dedicated a song to John Reese when I was singing in Manchester? It was a Twitter-dare that went wrong, cos I come across as being in LOVE with him or something?!?! OOPS!
Laters! Tony.
This is the third in a series of blog posts – you can read part 1 here and part 2 here (they’re both quite short)
a lovely chocolatey reward...
OK, so we decided that I’m a child (or something like that) and that to get stuff done I need a replacement parent to ‘encourage me’.
Have you ever seen a stubborn kid being told to do something? Doesn’t work too well, does it?
Seriously, I’m not kidding; if you treat your inner self like a brat kid, you’ll get results.
Tip: “If you tidy your bedroom you can go to the movies” works better than “you’re not going to the movies of you don’t tidy your room”.
I know it basically sounds the same, but in the first example, there’s fear of loss. The second example is just a threat which will be met with instand defiance and resistance.
So anyway, “REWARDS and RESULTS” is the next step to getting shit done.
Define rewards for absolutelyt everything. Seriously.
In the morning I plan my day, listing all the jobs and define a reward for getting each one (or group of small things) done.
I also have a predefined reward for making my list – this is a *key* point, because if there’s no reward for doing it, then you might not get it done (and that’s your whole day out the window)!
I make a coffee, then make my list.
After making the list I can have my coffee.
simple! Procrastination = cold coffee! (urgh)
The rewards don’t have to be huge or even cost anything. It could just be ten minutes of youtube.
If it’s a reward, you don’t feel bad at all for goofing off!
Here’s an example of the beginning of my day:
(make list = coffee)
1. DO BEST THING FIRST: Blog Post = another coffee
2. Check Emails, sort into junk/delete, requires immediate attention, requires attention soon
3. Deal with the ‘requires immediate attention’ emails as quickly as possible
[Emails done = ten minutes goofing off (there's usually some marketing emails or funny ones I want to look at)]
4. Article Writing: fifteen minutes
- define topic based on keywords
- make outline
- break into five sections/main points
- flesh each out a little
- make sentences to join five points
- article finished!
[Article Done = go on twitter for fifteen minutes]
the day generally goes on like that.
Key points:
- make sure you define how long things should take
- make sure your rewards are times too
- you’ll see some of the rewards are kind-of like fun work (like reading tweets) but if unregulated can take up your whole day
- make rewards for little goals reached, as well as rewards for achieving big groups of tasks, and a big reward for getting your whole list done (like buying a new dvd, going out for a meal, finishing early, etc).
Rewards is based on Results, but I define the rewards first so I have something fun to work towards.
If you’re working from home this can be a career-saver, and if you’re trying to start your business in the evenings, after your dayjob, then this approach can get SOO much done in the little time that you have.
So there we go, that’s the little story/explanation of how I’ve gone from a lazy shitwad to a lazy shitwad that gets stuff done without it seeming like hard work
Remember: get your Arse, sorry, Rs in gear: Routines, Results and Rewards Remove Resistance.
Thanks for reading; now it’s up to you to tweet the article, comment, bookmark it, call it a waste of time, whatever you like.
