    I think the refurbished ones are under appreciated. They have manual calibration by a human, and therefore can exceed the standard factory model:

    All refurbished units meet or even exceed the performance standards of new retail units.

    The only downside is, it can (but don’t have to) have visible cosmetic blemishes. But in return you get same experience and rights of a factory model with lower cost, which is a huge deal in today’s day and age. This is the reason why I consider my next Steam Deck 2 (OLED) as a refurbished one. I can wait. :-)

      Same but with Bazzite, it works great. I just miss the Deck’s trackpads, the one in the Legion Go isn’t half as good.

        Yeah, the pad should be larger, but I usually use joysticks or keyboard and mouse, so I forget about it.

    I tried for like an hour this morning, kept clicking the checkout button and it would just reload the page. One time I got to the page to enter shipping details but after that got a message saying it was no longer in stock.

      Those are not being reproduced for a long time now, it was all refurbished stock previously. Of course, if they keep listing it they might expect something to sell at some point.
