When the price of a new laptop is too high, buying a used laptop may seem like a great option. However, unless you do your homework, there’s a lot of risk when you opt for a used laptop computer. These devices are typically sold “as is,” meaning there is no guarantee that the computer was ever repaired, inspected or tested to ensure it still works well. That’s why a factory refurbished laptop makes more sense. Refurbished systems go through a comprehensive process of inspection, testing and repair to make sure they meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
When you’re ready to buy a second-hand laptop, you can find a great deal on a refurbished laptop through the Dell Refurbished Store at DellRefurbished.com. When our corporate customers return equipment that they’ve been leasing, we select the highest quality systems for refurbishment and make them available through this website. At Dell Refurbished, you’ll find high-quality equipment – perhaps with a few exterior blemishes – that will deliver excellent performance and functionality at a much better price point.
