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I also don't understand the 'outdated' concept.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.

This is a great deal for a used laptop. Battery life is going to suck compared to a Mac but it will be a beast of a PC
Tell me how it will run the latest games. It just has a lot of RAM which is cheap in itself and only good for handling a lot of VMs.
Nope- battery is crap. Dead in 10-15 mins and charged 50% in like 18 hours.
But customer service was nice. Offered to get me a new dell battery, only one problem - i can't open the back cover to install it. Lol
So I'm sending it back to hopefully swap for something else.

you can always sell it for a good amount
also like 10x battery life over dell crap, better screen, many times better performance
I bought a grade A refurb Latitude 7490 touch unit and was not impressed with the "refurbishment". Someone might have run a rag over it but that was about it. It was disappointing as the Dell Latitude 5300 refurb I got several months ago was perfect. Also, weirdly, the Intel i7 sticker was very misaligned so I removed it. There was more dust, debris, human hairs, and skin flakes embedded under the keys than I have ever seen. Every key was like a clown car of human hair. I'd think I had gotten them all out from under the keys then another would pop-up. It was disgusting. I called to rerun it but they have me a moderate discount for the hassle so I kept it and finished cleaning it. I used the little brush for cleaning my electric razor to get underneath the keys.
The unit works fine and is upgradeable to Win 11 after I upgraded the RAM memory to 16 gigs. The battery worked but was old and did not hold a charge for all that long so I bought a new one for $32 from Amazon. As a pleasant surprise, the back was easily removable to access the components so the battery swap and RAM upgrade was a smooth process. It's plenty speedy for almost any browsing and office use. General usability and build quality are much better than a cheapo new $250 - $300 unit with a cheap screen, creaky chassis, and mushy keyboard.

That dell is just way too outdated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

I do want like a personal laptop for teaching that I wouldn't mind dropping or spilling water on, though

Do people expect gaming machines? Mine was $4,000 for an Alienware x17r5. There are cheaper machines, but I don't think people should expect gaming at $280 on a laptop PC.
Professional tasks usually stay with Pro cards, which are far more expensive than their laptop counterparts. On the desktop, even 4090's are cheap considering the Mac cards are $6K+ just for one 6900x.
