    Is there generally some reason to stay away from refurbished and buy new or are is the quality the same?

    It is  a good buy cos it is great bang for bucks.

    It is bad cos  it does miss something.  you can't guarantee  anything even though you pay more bucks for a brand new item. and sometimes it does come DOA.  But most of us still prefer the new products.  :-)

    Yup, a limited warranty could be a big concern.

    Here is a quote from Newegg FAQ for u to learn more about recertified products:

    What are Recertified products?

    Products described as “Recertified” are products which have been retested to ensure compliance with original manufacturer specifications in function and for purposes related to warranty.
    Recertified” products may include a limited manufacturer warranty – see the items product page on our website for details

    Recertified products may be any of the following:

    • A product that has never been used, where the outside factory seal has been broken. This can be due to a cancelled order for example.

    • A product returned to the original manufacturers that were used in field tests, sales displays or demonstrations.

    • A product that have been returned for warranty service, which have been brought to manufacturer specifications.

    • A product that have been returned for reasons other than defect. These items are sent to the manufacturer for inspection and testing. The passing products are then repackaged as recertified.

    • A product where the box was damaged in shipment and is then returned to the manufacturer.
