Q: Where do these computers come from?
A: We buy directly from Dell.
   
Q: Are these computers brand new?
A: Some of the systems we sell are new and marked that way. Most are considered "refurbished", but not in the way you're used to hearing about. In fact, it's more like "open-box" than anything. Refurbished systems are new (not used or rebuilt) that were returned by the original owner during the 21 day return period. In some cases the systems were never even turned on or taken out of the box. All systems are wiped clean and inspected thoroughly by Dell for defects and completely retested and repackaged to meet original factory specifications as if it were brand new. Most look and feel completely brand new.
   
Q: Does it come with a warranty?
A: Yes. Each system comes with a hardware warranty from Dell that covers manufacturer defects for 1-3 years depending on model. At any point during your warranty coverage you can extend the warranty or add on accidental damage coverage by contacting Dell or using their online warranty site.
   
Q: How does the warranty repair process work?
A: If you have a problem during your warranty period you can contact Dell (we recommend their online chat) who will work to correct the problem via phone/chat. If the problem can't be resolved, they'll send a technician to your house for free.
   
Q: What's included?
A: We ship systems how we get them from Dell in their original packaging with all the materials they provide (i.e. - power adapter/cable). You can download the newest drivers and any included software directly from Dell.
   
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Paypal.
