Yes, these are cheap, but they're also 3-4 years old. Figure batteries may not be in top condition. And CPUs are several generations old; fine for standard business work but don't expect these to be the best for gaming or video creation/editing.

Likely these are off-lease business laptops. Not TC'ing, just know what you're getting into.

How on earth is an $800 Macbook a relevant alternative to a $300 refurbished Windows laptop?

I also don't understand the 'outdated' concept.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

That's some sound logic right there. True words of wisdom.

Instead of buying a 2 year old used car for $12k you should instead buy a $36k new car because it's better.

Probably Sata? I'm reading the 8th gen intel chips were equipped with Sata SSD.

I bought one of these 2 weeks ago in on the last sale. A few points.

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.

Kills me that the Dell Precision refurbs the other week were cheaper and more stout.

Dell supports BIOS firmware for several years.

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

Need nice laptop max $300 for general use and that will last many years (5++). It's a gift.

Purchased both recent Office Depot 12th Gen. i3-based 15.6" Lenovo & ASUS deals ($275-280) that were supposedly extremely fast, great design, fine build, slim, and had all features I wanted (USB-C power/display/data, fingerprint reader, backlit keyboard, expandable RAM), BUT returned both only because the LCD was TN-type , and not IPS with better viewing angles.

I've been following these refurb Dells for a month +, and it seems they have been used constantly over 4+ years by corporate clients, aren't refurbished well , often have weak and/or bulging batteries (possibly causing internal damage), some popular series (7390? - I forget, but researched extensively) have common issue with capacitor/component burning out internally.

It seems you've got to go over these with a fine toothed comb, running tests over the first few weeks of ownership, to determine whether they have any lingering or non-obvious issues that may crop up .

It also isn't clear from Dell's seemingly vague info whether these units indeed have features above (FP, BL keys, 3-in-1 USBC, etc.) OR whether these are IPS LCDs OR whether RAM soldered/open slots .

Plus, they only have weak 100-day warranty, that's very unlikely any credit card will automatically extend by a year, as on a new laptop).

SO, with all of the above in mind, and understanding that these have easy access to change certain components, WHAT PRECISELY is the big draw with these Dells?

And, what's the average NEW price TODAY of a closest comparable Dell (equivalent speed to 4-5 year-old processor)?
