Daily Tip: Consider Refurbished A few major manufacturers offer used-but-certified notebooks, often at significant savings, but there are some caveats to buying this way.

And perhaps more important, these products often come with very limited warranties, so be sure to check on the company's guarantee before you buy. Daily Term: offset
A number indicating how far from a starting point an item is located, usually in bytes. For example, an offset might tell a processor how many bytes into a segment of memory it will find a specific piece of data. This is the computing equivalent of giving directions to a house by saying it is the second one from the corner; it gives a reference point and counts from that point to the desired item.
