Refurb from Best Buy?

[michael916]

I am in the market for a tablet and I was considering the A500. Best Buy has refurbished ones for $300 and I've read some reviews of people saying that this tablet refurbished is really bad and buggy like the screen messes up or the charger is bad. Has anybody here had experience buying this tablet refurbished from best buy? I would prefer it new but its almost $100 more which I might just do. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

I got a refurb from tigerdirect and have had no issues at all. Can only assume same place refurbishes them. In the package was a tablet, charger, and Acer brand case. Cosmetically it was perfect and have not had a mechanical/electrical flaw with it. Only ran stock rom for about a half hour before changing it up. Go for it, if its not up to par take it back.
