These machines were announced around 4.5 years ago (sept '19). They've probably been in service for around 4...about half of most computer gear lifespans, as properly maintained desktops get around 8-10 years of life.
With refurbished, you're delaying eWaste while saving significant amounts on the cost. Computer hardware has been very capable for the 5-8 years -- although there have been performance improvements and more power efficient components, unless you're pushing a machine to the limits, you'll be hard pressed to observe a normal/office use difference between an 8th gen and a 10th/11th gen. If anything, it'd be a modest improvement when compared side-by-side.
And the specs are very decent -- video upgrade, reasonable SSD size, and 32gb ram. That's considerably more than most entry-level systems even in 2024, which still tend to be a paltry 8gb ram and 256gb ssd.

Lenovo businiess desktops are pretty solid too. I'm running a core-2-duo Lenovo business PC as well. Refurbished with Win10pro from Staples for $20 from an old slickdeal in 2019.
