Great machine so far, just wouldn't buy it from Amazon

Great machine so far, just wouldn't buy it from Amazon
First let me encourage everyone to CHECK THE SERIAL WITH MICROSOFT. I ordered from MoneySaving Deals here on Amazon and while everything looked brand new the tablet was actually refurbished.Now, with that said, this review is based on that unit. This unit has some issues that I haven't heard anyone else have so I'm assuming it's because it's a refurb. But it has problems restarting. It gets stuck and I have to force it to cut off and cut it back on. This only happens during updates but still scary as it could brick the device, but thankfully didn't.Most people may be concerned on whether 2GB and 64GB is enough. 2GB is indeed enough for most people. Heck I can even run photoshop cs5 on it fine. During heavy raw images it will struggle but it could get the job done if you're in a pinch. For regular web browsing, youtube, watching movies, etc. it does hiccup a bit. I personally think it's because it's a refurb because my Asus t100ta which is 3 years older ran fantastic with an older atom processor and the same 2GB of ram. (Which is why I'm giving it 4 stars for now.)The 64GB isn't a concern for me because I had a high speed 64GB sd card lying around and I use onedrive to store pretty much everything so I can have access to all my files and photos and what-nots on any device, so 64GB will be fine for anyone that uses a cloud service such as I do.The resolution on paper isn't the highest, but this thing has a high quality screen so everything is bright (WAY brighter than my much more expensive Lenovo Yoga 900) and images and fonts are very crisp. I also haven't run into any scaling issues like on my Yoga 900.Another thing with the kickstand... it's perfect! I've heard complaints of it only being 3 position.... Look, if you need more than these 3 perfect angles then I don't really know what to say. It fulfills all viewing angles for me and my wife. I'm 5'9" and she's 4'11". Standing or sitting we can both ind the perfect view for it. So don't let that discourage you.I have a replacement coming today. Hopefully that isn't refurbished too. All in all I like the machine and will keep it once I can get a brand new one and not a refurb. Hopefully that irons out any issues I had with this refurb unit. I'd say go for it!UPDATE (5/7/2016): Ohhhh kaaayyy. So, got the replacement from another seller: Shira Sales 1. ANOTHER REFURB!! Terrible sellers, and received even worse customer service from Amazon. Anyway, I ended up getting one from Best Buy. The even more comical thing is the difference in packaging. For everyone's awareness I've taken side-by-side pictures of the box I received from Amazon and the one I picked up at Best Buy. The Amazon packaging is on top while the Best Buy packaging is on the bottom.I also ended up getting the 4GB 128GB version because it was only $50 more at Best Buy. Runs a great deal smoother with no hiccups at all so far. I really think the other one ran poorly due to being refurbished at this point because it's night and day. Anyway, I like the machine even more now so I'm updating to 5-Stars, however, I do NOT recommend you buy it from Amazon, at least not a third-party seller.
