I'm going to throw up just looking at these specs.

Why on Earth would this ever be a good deal considering all the Dell Refurbished touchscreen laptop deals with way better specs and lower price have been popping off for 5 months now?

A 'U' processor? Aren't those like the slow undervolted versions?

8GB RAM? OK Great so you upgrade thats another $40 minimum

No discrete graphics.

Why?

Why am I getting e-mail notifications about this?
Link?

8GB RAM is about $15 at Amazon.

Well lenovo refurbished are 95% almost brand new with less than 20 hours of usage. Dell refurbished are 95% heavily used machines with over 2000 hours of usage (i have ordered over 10 of each one, i have had significantly less luck with dell refurbished than lenovo refurbished)
