Likely these are off-lease business laptops. Not TC'ing, just know what you're getting into.
I also don't understand the 'outdated' concept. An 8th gen i7 will do literally any task that 99.9999999% of computer users do today and for the next 5 years. And 32GB of RAM is a ridiculous amount for even a brand-new laptop. What are people doing with their computers that the above isn't enough? My only concern with this refurbished machine would be battery life.
Instead of buying a 2 year old used car for $12k you should instead buy a $36k new car because it's better.

Yeah the processor is several generations old, but it can handle web browsing, videos, any kind of office software, and some light multitasking. Mine also had a touchscreen, which it was not supposed to lol.
you can always sell it for a good amount
also like 10x battery life over dell crap, better screen, many times better performance

eventually i may open it up to see what all is going on, i suspect new everything. the only thing old was the SSD that had 750 hours on it; that got me wondering, but an IT man told me they probably put various parts together to make the thing. better than expected is my feeling about this Dell laptop.
so i don't understand how some replies are dissatisfied while others are ecstatic over their purchase. that probably puts some off from taking a chance on these things.

That dell is just way too outdated
You can't go wrong buying a M1/M2 macbook unless you hate MacOS

Yeah, in many cases, these are off lease business machines, and yeah, they might be several years old and not at the cutting edge of technology. But they are certainly powerful enought for most basic tasks, and if the get dropped on the floor or knocked around, it's much less of a stress vs. an $800 Apple machine.
One other thing to keep in mind is that the Latitude series is pretty much for business-class machines (whereas the Inspiron series is more consumer-oriented). So the Latitudes are generally built more robustly, and also have thing like built-in Ethernet ports that have been removed from consumer-class machines to save a few bucks. Yeah, a built-in Ethernet port might not be of interest to most people, but it is really helpful for certain operations like setting up a router... And wired Ethernet is still also way faster than most wireless systems for file transfers (to local machines).
Anyway, depending on your intended purpose (and the size of your wallet), these dellrefurbished machines can be pretty good deals.
I used to have a home NAS or server configured w/a UPS, but this takes the headache out of replacing UPS batteries and configuring the shutdown process if/when I lose power.
