Hi, I'm the author. To be honest, I'm not sure how the refurbished thing works. That's why the whole paragraph is full of "I think" and "perhaps" and "my theory is". It's all just speculation. The shop where I bought it had it marked as refurbished, that's what I'm sure about, but I don't know what's the exact history of the machine. I've heard rumors those are computers from Apple Store etc., hence the speculation about worn out display, but I've never really investigated it further. Doesn't matter much now, whatever the reason, the display is dead.
