Great price for this, even if it is a refurb. The listing has this titled as 'Toshiba Chromebook' however the processor listed is the one in the Toshiba Chromebook 2, making this an amazing price.

I've had 3 tablets and laptops/Chromebooks from them and they've all been perfect without a mark on them - no "refurb", just returns. In fact the only thing that's ever gone back was a brand new Acer from Tesco which never worked. Well worth a look.

hilarious... but not true. I had about three refurbs from Argos, including two of my tvs. no problem at all.

Argos refurbishing is usually outsourced and done by D&J Henry.
Have I found flaws in their process, most definitely. Where I work we used to buy a lot of refurbished laptops from Argos and some were still faulty. So there's always a chance you'll get one where a fault has been missed. Do I think D&J Henry are a bad company? No, but there's always room for improvement.

I disagree I have bought several refurb laptops from Argos eBay over the years, Toshiba x 3, Samsung and Asus. All seemed brand new, currently typing on one I have had for 4 years.

This is a great Chromebook at a decent price, but once you've seen the full HD version there's no going back!

Agree....i never thought i had a care for HD until i put the toshibas side by side!

Yes, agree too. The FHD screen is worth the extra and comes with 4GB of Ram instead of 2GB.

Excellent deal. Hot from me.
I have now moved onto a x220 refurb as needed to use a couple of windows programs. I had recommended Chromebooks to family till recently but for those who need a little more they should consider it.

Yeah an X220 refurb is excellent value and way more machine, especially if you get one with the IPS panel. Still fancy one of these anyway though :smiley:

For business use you could probably go for any of the windows laptops sold by John Lewis in that price range (extra year guarantee).
Or you could opt for the x220 refurb as above. Will upgrade easily to Windows 10 and they are built remarkably well for £140. Add an SSD and ram and for another £60 you have something remarkably sturdy.

Really good build quality for this price level + chromebooks are very handy everyday use machines.
But as everyone is saying don't look at the hdscreen version if you've already got one of these.

I ordered a refurb C720 a while ago, and this picture isn't far off representing the state of it when it arrived. I couldn't see any evidence of a refurbishment process other than performing a factory reset on it. Scratches all over it and dirt between keys etc. Sent back and got a new one instead.

Waiting to get one of these at the right price..... however after reading the reviews I am waiting for the full HD one at the right price.
