Here is a link for something.

I have bought two of these for relatives. There may be more offerings of these type PCs via staples than just the one at the link below. Both of my purchases included 12 month guarantees that would fix or replace the machine, and at the low price I add two more years warranty. Both machines were like new and no problems with either one.

With a little research you may find more PCs like this at various prices on staples web site.

An industry “dirty little secret”. Many refurbished computers are really brand new. When the new model year rolls out people won’t pay “new” prices for last years model. However, if they discount the older model then it will hurt sales of the newer unit with similar specs.
So, drop a year off of the warranty and pack it in a no frills box. You now have a “refurbished” unit.

Some are truly refurbished but most major retailers aren’t going to mess around with a few units.
