I’m curious, if you don’t mind weighing in a little further, do you mean that you’re not currently worried about contracting bird flu or do you mean that you’re not worried about the potential of this strain to become transmissible between humans.
As a lay person who’s been following the outbreak for almost 3 years now, it seems that the goal posts for concern have been continually moving.
That’s kind of a no brainer then. Amazon already has your money, might as well get something from it.
I try to avoid Amazon for my personal shopping, but I’ve bought literally hundreds of renewed/refurbished laptops and Chromebooks on Amazon for work. I have not had a single DOA or switcheroo in over 200 laptops from different sellers except one that has a broken screen, which was ready to return. You are very likely not throwing your money away by buying via Amazon, though that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily the best place to buy.
Another outlet has it listed at $499, fwiw.
