Intel was introducing new 8th gen CPUs as late as Q3 2019
Scratches will be minor in B grade laptops, and close to nonexistent in A grade
Battery will be replaced if it's under 80% capacity
A used latitude in good shape will likely outlast a new Inspiron, and $399 is more than double the price of this deal.
You can return these on Dell Refurbished's dime if there is anything wrong (such as loose hinges).
It's on my desk now, driving two 32" 4K monitors from the HDMI sand USB-C ports, plus the 14" screen, running 50 edge tabs, notes, outlook, chrome, and teams. I'm managing Azure & M365 resources, coding in PS via the portal. it's durable, well-supported, easy to buy parts for (I put in a 2TB drive for my photography, for which I run PS and LR Classic).
In short, a perfectly fine laptop for those who don't game.
A semi-pro purpose-built scan tool with same same capabilities would have run me at least $500 or more (and they typically are custom android tablets). As a bonus, this is a Windows 11 laptop that can serve other purposes.

We're now at the 14th generation of Intel processors.
These heavily used, but cleaned, scratched, battery-worn, old laptops have been used within a company (or two) by multiple people for the past 5-7 years?
Perhaps after three years when they were completely written off for tax purposes they were repurchased in bulk by another company for pennies on the dollar. Now they're being cleaned and re-sold yet again.
Several recent $399 Dell laptop deals for new, and latest gen, processors have been posted in SD recently. You're guaranteed a lengthy product life with the latest tech including modern security features.
How is it that FedEx Recycling continues to have 6th, 7th and 8th generation Intel-based products still in inventory being resold?
I'll guess that they have a warehouse containing several thousand older computer units but they're only able to clean and test 50-100 units each week. Therefore, these units may have been stored for 1-3 years and not used daily for the past 5-8 years.

These on average have 350 day clocked on ssd, 75-95% battery health.
They make great laptop spare. Nothing comes close $160 with 16/512. Even 8/256 is usuable

The 7400s are a very good line. 8th Gen is a very good CPU and easily competitive today unless you have high compute workloads in which case you probably don't need to be buying bargain enterprise laptops.
There is no vulnerability or handicap to 8th Gen - with one exception. Windows 11 is not officially supported and Windows 10 is on the way out. I don't see this as a problem at all, but some may.

8th Gen is officially supported on Windows 11. At the very least, the i5-8365U and i7-8665U that can be found in these dell refurbs are.

But the laptop is on dellrefurbished.com, wondering if the offer will work?
