 That's used.
 NEVER shop on ebay for critical components.
    

I think it has a two-year warranty for an additional $3.
I don't know. Some of you guys are computer science majors. So the computer itself means a lot to you. You know, like car enthusiasts. I've never bought a new car. I don't pay that price for a car. A car to me is something that passes inspections and doesn't look like a wreck and reliably and comfortably takes me to places I want. Such a car is a tenth of the price of a new car.
Same with computers. I have a heck of a lot of fun with something as simple as BASIC-F app on my 2nd hand android phone. I program with it stuff to use when walking, etc. Stuff that are so fine tuned to exactly what I need that no app on Google Store can do. Computer itself is not my passion.
