If you are looking for a PC, there are some very good deals available from the ‘outlet’ at Lenovo®. Some deals there are much better than others however, so you have to look at each configuration offered and decide what you like or don’t like. $400 will get you a tower with an I5-4590 in a refurbished M73 tower. $50 more (which admittedly takes you over the budget) gets you a machine with an I7-4770. I have bought several ‘scratch & dent’ machines, and frankly, I have hard time finding either on them. I think it is really an excuse to move out inventory of models that are being discontinued. The best way to move the data is probably with Laplink® Pro, which will also move most of your applications without having to re-install them. If you don’t like today’s offering, check again tomorrow. The assortment of machines and available configurations changes daily.
In any event, here is the link to the desktop section of the Lenovo Outlet.
