I bought 2, but one of two was dead on arrival. The dead one sounds like monster. I have to wait couple of weeks for a change. And finally i got "REFURBISHED" one. Yeah.. It was not a good deal at all. I think i got scammed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

$250 for a refurbished? scam....
