While this Rugged Dell Tablet PC arrived in a timely fashion and fit the bill in terms of a sturdy tablet PC for outdoor use at the starter stand of a golf course, there are a few factors to be aware of regarding this seller. First, the tablet showed a good deal more wear and tear than I might expect from a refurb computer (vs a used or off lease computer) for example the service tag on the back was completely worn off. A second issue to be aware of, but that is not necessarily unexpected on a refurb computer, is that none of the dell tablet specific drivers were installed, some of with make the tablet functionally work better. Lastly, and Most Importantly, the battery like was unacceptable. This tablet takes two batteries. When I received the computer I charged the batteries 24 hours before use, however, these batteries would never hold enough charge to operate the tablet for even two hours. I gave the seller ample opportunity to resolve this problem. The seller an I went back and forth via email a number of times. (The good piece of this is that the seller did respond a few times.) they requested service tag number, battery and charger serial numbers, all of which I supplied. Ultimately, the seller would not replace even one of the faulty batteries, claiming that they were bench tested before shipping and this tablet in refurbished condition includes 1 battery lasting for 2 hours of operation. As for the second battery its of a low health in general. Its added to your tablet, but not part of the order. There is NO SUCH DESCRIPTION in their listing and my research and experience shows that this would NOT be the expected standard for battery life for a refurbished laptop or tablet. I even offered to send back the batteries that they claimed would last and the could send me a different one, then if in fact the battery they sent me originally sent me could be used elsewhere if it in fact tested good. I ended up having to replace the batteries. So that with new batteries and Dell drivers installed and configured correctly the battery life and tablet functionality is much better now. Expect, if buying from this seller, that you will have to replace batteries and invest extensive time in driver updates and configuration.

4 out of 5 eggs Item spec was incorrect

I bought a laptop from Ruggedbooks. The spec indicated that the laptop had a touchscreen whereas it did not. I received the item on 11/18, immediately requested a return, and finally received a refund on 12/3 after they received the item. All around, it was inconvenient and annoying, but obviously mistakes are made on long detailed specs sometimes.

RuggedBooks Response:

Thank you for your feedback, Jennifer, and we apologize for the inconvenience with your order. As we previously explained, there was a typo in our listing regarding the touchscreen. The model itself comes with a non-touch display, and the product listing has now been corrected.

4 out of 5 eggs Good seller

They contacted me the day after the purchase to say they did have the laptop I ordered but not all the options of what I ordered. They were prompt in giving me a choice of taking what they had in stock at a lower price or getting a refund. Though they did not have exactly what I had ordered left in stock, they did have what I needed and gave a discount for the options they did not have on the laptop I did agree to purchase.

4 out of 5 eggs Excellent option

I acquired this tablet honestly with doubt thinking that it would not be as described. But to date I'm happy with the purchase looks and feels like new provides everything and works all camera ports and even the fingerprint sensor. Aesthetically it does not present any problem on the contrary if I show it they think it is totally new but when I tell you that it is reconditioned you are surprised by how excellent it looks. In short, it was worth every dollar pay

4 out of 5 eggs First time buyer

First time buying from newegg/rugged book. Received laptop sooner than expected. Laptop has all the features as described. Received on a Saturday holiday weekend had an issue with power adapter and emailed company they got back to me first thing Tuesday morning after holiday with questions and offering help to solve power issue. I had already tested and picked up a new power adapter over the weekend and they were quick to refund me my expenses but from their questions i have no doubt if i couldnt do that my self they would have figured out the issue and their willingness to reimburse me before i even asked was outstanding. Communications were very reasonable within 30min turn around. Gavan was the name of the person who helped me. Thank you
