What they'll have in stock, and the discounts available, will change regularly depending on the laptops that are returned and reconditioned, so you might need to be on the ball if you have a specific laptop in mind.

The popular retailer Laptops Direct uses A1, A2 and A3, but these are functionally the same as A, B and C.
