I bought a refurbish/new ASUS laptop from GOL ~2 yrs ago. It was sold as new, ie not been used before. It did look new and still had the protective film on the screen intact. But it was not properly packed, came in a unmarked/no label box, had no manual or any user guides or documentation, no usual warranty certificate, software license document etc. But it did come with a statement from ASUS Australia for 1 yr warranty, as an included letter. So obviously it was taken out of original packing. In fact one thing that I was disappointed is that I could not see the bit says if you dont like Windows ... You can do this and that anywhere! Or I would have tried get a Windows refund. But for what I paid $189+shipping, I thought it was good value at the time. It did come with windows 7 - so I am guessing it came from an old Win 7 stock. It still has windows 7 on it, but I have never booted windows 7 on it. I have shrunk the windows partition to its minimum and will probably delete it when I need more space - not yet. Linux runs perfectly on it. EVERY thing works straight out of the box, including hibernation, wifi, webcam, and it did also have UEFI, which I disabled in bios. I have had Ubuntu in various versions from 12.04, Mint and Debian Wheezy and now Jessie is my most used OS on it. There was a small issue with an early version of Jessie (freezing), but I take it, it was the OS - because now after latest update it works perfectly again.
