Advise for buying a Refurbished machine

[dhaneshk k]

Fellow  BSDians,


   I need an advice  from  FreeBSD users.  I would like to buy a  refurbished notebook from IBM.  

 Model   IBM T60   > I heard  T60 series are excellent ?
 
Please see this URL   and apecifications  of the notebook http://www-304.ibm.com/shop/americas/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/default/ProductDisplay?productId=4611686018425958881&storeId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=2576396&dualCurrId=73&catalogId=-840

I want to know 
1)  whether this notebook go well with FreeBSD-7.x  versions ?

I want to use  only FreeBSD on this notebook with X window system + Gnome Desktop, 

2) please advice me   If I  buy this machine   is that a wise   decision  or  refurbished  machines are of  high risk  ?


any thoughts most  welcome.

Thanks in advance 
Dhanesh
