Sunday: Woot Mystery Refurbished Windows Laptop for $240

Adorama continues to run in “Top Deals mode” at their daily deals, but the excitement of the day is at Woot Computers where they are offering a refurbished (Grade A with 90-day Woot warranty) Mystery Laptop for $240. Different customers will receive different sub-models! Most will have 256GB SSD but some will get 512GB. RAM will vary between 8GB to 32GB (most will get 16GB). The processor starts at Intel i5-6300, but about half will get an i7. The display size (13.1 or 14 or 15.6″) and resolution (720 or 1080) also varies.

It comes with Windows 10 PRO 64-bit (some may/will support W11 per the listing), and Bluetooth 4.1, a sign that it’s an older type of a chassis.If you use a lot of Bluetooth devices, this is a potential orange to red flag as Bluetooth got really solid with version 5.

As a minimum you will receive 8GB RAM (about 2/3rds will get 16GB RAM), 256GB SSD, Intel i5-6300 (or better), and some kind of a screen 🙂

This is truly a mystery type thing! You pay $240 and you won’t know until you open the box 🙂

If you don’t enjoy these type of mystery box type of things (hello LOST fans!), you may want to stay away 🙂

The B&H 50-Year BILD party is over but you can (re)watch it at any time at the B&H YouTube channel. The link is to their “Live” tab. Recently YouTube changed their layout and the “Live” videos don’t show up under “Videos”, which is extra work for the viewers because you have to check at two places for new videos (unless you are signed up for Notifications and those are notoriously not reliable). Anyway, back on-topic!

The BILD event may be over, but as of the time of writing the BILD Expo Special Offers continue! I do not know when they will expire, mayhaps when the link stops working 🙂
