Buying a refurbished laptop
When buying a pricey new laptop doesn’t make sense for your budget, consider the benefits of a refurbished laptop. A refurbished laptop is a used computer laptop that has been restored to excellent quality workmanships standards. At Dell Refurbished, we refurbish laptops in a comprehensive process that includes meticulous repairs, equipment replacements, quality testing, and multiple inspections. While our refurbished laptops and notebooks may have some cosmetic imperfections, these minor scratches and blemishes will not affect the device's performance.
Why buy a refurbished laptop?
When you purchase a refurbished laptop from Dell, you’ll enjoy many benefits over purchasing a new laptop or notebook computer.
- Cost savings: While a refurbished laptop typically won’t have all the bells and whistles or the latest generation hardware, it will offer excellent performance at a very affordable price.
- A sustainable option: Refurbishing computers extends the lifecycle of tech equipment, providing a sustainable alternative and helping reduce thousands of tons of waste in landfills annually.
- The same warranty: When you buy a refurbished laptop directly from Dell, you’ll get the same limited hardware warranty and service you would get with a new computer. Buying manufacturer refurbished, manufactured sold means that you’re receiving a computer that was vetted by the same company that built it originally.
- A road-tested device: Since refurbished models have been around a while, you’ll find many user reviews that will give you a better idea of what to expect from your purchase.

What’s the difference between refurbished, used, and off-lease?
“Refurbished” means that the product has gone through a comprehensive process of repair, replacement, and testing to restore it to a standard of performance and quality. In contrast, “used” means that a device has been previously owned and operated and is typically sold “as-is,” with no guarantee that the product will function at a certain standard. “Off-lease” means that a commercial or business customer leased the equipment – usually for 2 to 4 years – and then returned for refurbishment and resale.
