Tom has been saving for a new laptop for the past six months. He's done his research and found a model that experts say will more than meet his needs. But new, it costs $3,000. He also found a refurbished version of the
same computer with all of the same features online for $1,500. The refurbished laptop comes with a warranty and
Tom bought a refurbished portable music player from the same company with no problems. Tom's third option is a
brand new laptop that costs $1,800 and has all of the features he needs but not all of the ones he wants.
