The comments here are beginning to make me suspect that there are 'fake accounts' promoting paid postings. These refurbished deals are never any good. The 40% off coupon is standard, at times it is 50%. Big thumbs down and if Slickdeals is going to accept payment for promotions it should be mark the postings as such vs. give the illusion of organic activity.

Any thoughts on this deal? I haven't kept up with laptops. I've been using about a 7-8 year old Asus, i3. Need something for work. Spreadsheets, VM, Teams.

All of the currently available models have 8th generation CPUs (either i5-8365U or i7-8665U) which will support an automatic upgrade to Windows 11.

Good luck!

BIG UPs OP. I've been on the lookout for an inexpensive laptop exactly like this. In for 1. Should be good enough for basic tasks and the battery life seems good.

The SSD ones have bigger batteries than the HDD ones, according to reviews.

Great deal. This CPU benchmarks at almost the same as the 10th gen i5 in some of the other refurb deals. WIsh it was a 14" display, then I'd definitely bite.

Edit, i found the review on bigger battery on the SSD because the hard drive spinner takes toooo much space

interesting comment on the SSD; would you have any reviews handy on that?
It might just be that real-world experience shows a significantly longer battery life for an SSD than a spinning disk, which is of course true. I'm amazed there are still laptops on the market with a spinning disk, to be honest. It's a dealbreaker in my opinion.

Just look for the original post and see if it was a staff post, that generally means it is a promoted "paid for" post.

It's pretty easy to swap out the drive. If you can image the drive to a new SSD, or get a restore download, you can get inexpensive SSDs.
