This is very good advice. I’ve bought a number of personal laptops and workstations from the outlet and have never had a problem. Even the ones labeled “scratch and dent” have been completely unmarred. The only potential gotcha is that you have to be ready to commit once you find what you’re looking for because the stock turns over quite frequently. I usually start looking a week or two before I need to buy something and just keep going back until I find the best deal.
