Sure you can. Section 179 IRS code allows 100% writedown of computer purchases first year they do not discern between new, used, or refurbs. That being said I buy them for resale. I own a computer store that sells new and refurbished computers. We offer computers from $99 to $50,000 servers. We've been in business for 28 years. By the way my first intern job out of high school was for the IRS in Holtsville, NY. I've been writing code since the mid-70's. Finally opened my first store in 1995. For the record most of my business is B to B. Most love refurbs..everyone wants to cost cut..I deal to government, non-profits, schools, etc. Most consumer model in the lower price ranges are built like crud. These are professional workstations and/or buiness models used in banks, hospitals, the military..completely different build quality. On this model--to get new about $1500 per or if you have folks doing 2D cad or solidworks -- you can buy 5-6 of these. Dell also knows they are going to see them again at end of lease--built better. Precisions, Latitudes are built completely different then Inspiron and Vostro. Same at HP. Probook, Elitebook, Zbook vs. Pavilion. Lenovo Thinkpad vs. Ideapad.

Upvoted, and would buy one if I didn't already have one. This is a commercial quality portable workstation, and I plan to get another 10 years out of mine as a home office machine.
Also... These usually come in excellent shape. Dell tends to be quite conservative with the condition description in my experience.
Thank you for posting.

Don't matter if it's "workhorse", it's a freaking antique now, since it's a corporate, it's probably been beat up all these years and stuff inside it start breaking or getting loose. If it was 100 maybe ok, but damn not 300 for a antique.
Let me know when you see a computer for 100 with anything close to these specs. Til then, this one is a heck of a deal.

I think few months back there was a similar precision deal with i7 7th gen for 32gig ram for 237 after coupon. I wanted it but didn't pull the trigger because of upgrade to 11 issues.

Not for me....but a nice "old" computer for $300! Absolutely would do this kind of deal if my eldest kid needed a laptop for college.

I am still using a 7720 since it's last gen of Dell notebook that supports e dock. May switch to gen 12 or later 75xx/77xx but this price is so good. Thanks a lot, OP.

If you've never handled a Precision (or workstation replacement) know that they are thick and hefty.

IMO, good deal OP, especially with 32gb RAM and 4gb dedicated video (meaning your system isn't sharing system RAM for video).

If my 4700u laptop still wasn't chugging along, I'd pick this up.

why would you buy refurbs for your business? you cant get anything back on your tax return.

I can't speak to the long term longevity of this laptop but it definitely doesn't seem obsolete to me. I picked one up a few weeks ago on the last Slickdeals post, and it has blown me away with its speed and power. I mostly use it for music production, but the Quadro M2200 graphics card is surprisingly decent for a bit of gaming, too. At the price point, I don't think you can come -close- to beating this laptop. Though, that said, if you're looking for something light and sleek to tot around, this is probably not the laptop you're looking for. It's heavy as hell.

Can anyone recommend a docking bay that works for this laptop? I keep finding conflicting info when I search google about it.
Just search dell e dock USB 3.0 in eBay and you can find it.

Wonder how easy it is to change the battery and if compatible batteries, including 3rd parties, are still for sale. The battery is pretty much the weakest point in the longevity of laptops.

im not picky for a reply, any honest opinion works so i can show the person that is in the market for a laptop that it will work for them (they dont just want my word on the buy, they want other opinions also, so thanks! Smilie )

Yeah these models were built intentionally without them.
But these work really well and prices range from $10-$20. I can attest to them as I have sold them as well. Amazing quality for cheap/
