I'm not sure, but usually dell refurbs are cheaper than new computers. Maybe its more expensive because of the labor of processing returns or checking the computer? Just a guess
........but if your looking for a cheap dell, i'm selling one right now

Dell refurbs are anything that has been returned for any reason. They reload the OS and other s/w and check everything out. They come with a regular warranty, I believe.
