Stretching your budget with used laptops for sale

When constrained budgets prevent you from adequately equipping your workforce with the computers they need, buying used laptops for sale can make a lot of sense. However, it’s important to remember that quality standards vary widely between the sellers of used equipment, and not every used computer laptop will offer the kind of quality and reliability you’re looking for. That’s where Dell can help.

The Dell Refurbished Store is a premier source for used laptops for sale that have been refurbished to the highest standards. With a refurbished or reconditioned laptop computer from Dell, you’re getting a device that has been meticulously inspected, tested, and repaired to restore it to excellent working condition.

What you get with refurbished used laptops for sale from Dell

At the Dell Refurbished Store, used laptops for sale are Dell Precision or Latitude devices that were formerly leased to a corporate customer and have since been returned to us when the lease ended. We carefully inspect each off-lease device and select the highest quality systems for the refurbishment process. During refurbishment, each computer is carefully tested, components are repaired or replaced as needed, and all the previous users’ data is erased from the hard drives through a full data wipe in accordance with strict guidelines for sanitizing digital media. Finally, each device is inspected and graded according to the amount of cosmetic damage on its exterior.

Here’s what to expect when you buy used laptops for sale from Dell.

• High-quality equipment: During the refurbishment process, we restore each computer to the highest levels of quality and reliability. Each device must meet our stringent refurbishment specifications before it is made available for sale at DellRefurbished.com.
• Gently worn devices: Our used laptops for sale may show a little wear and tear, since they were previously leased and operated by business users. However, any cosmetic damage will not affect the performance of the device.
• No options for customization: Because our used laptops for sale are thoroughly tested with their existing configuration, we are unable to customize them or upgrade components before they are shipped.

The benefits of refurbished used laptops for sale

When you buy second hand laptop equipment from the Dell Refurbished Store, you’ll find significant benefits over buying new laptops or purchasing a laptop computer second hand from another vendor.

New laptops vs. Dell refurbished laptops

Refurbished devices from the Dell Refurbished Store are sold at prices that are steeply discounted from the price of new models that offer similar features and functionality. These lower price points allow you to stretch your budget to afford more computers for your workforce, or to acquire higher end devices at a lower cost.

Additionally, with used laptops for sale from Dell you’re getting equipment that is several years old and has a detailed track record of performance. By consulting reviews from users and trade publications, you can get a great sense of what to expect from your investment in terms of performance, reliability, and functionality.

Refurbished computers are also a more sustainable choice that helps the environment. Buying refurbished contributes to a circular economy, where fewer natural resources are needed to make new computers and fewer used devices are sent to landfills. Dell’s efforts at reusing and recycling computer equipment are helping to prevent 1,000 tons of electronic waste (e-waste) from being added to landfills each year.

Used laptops for sale from Dell vs. other vendors

Refurbishment practices vary widely from vendor to vendor. With used laptops for sale from Dell, you can have confidence you’re getting equipment that is certified to have been restored to the highest standards through an intensive process of refurbishment by one of the most trusted computer companies.

How Dell’s cosmetic grades work

As you shop for use laptops for sale at Dell Refurbished.com, you’ll see a cosmetic grade for each device. These grades are assigned at the end of the refurbishment process and indicate the amount of cosmetic damage you’ll see on the computer.

• Grade A: This grade indicates that the device is an overall excellent to very good cosmetic condition. The computer may be cosmetically pristine, or it may have light scratches or minor blemishes.
• Grade B: Computers with a cosmetic Grade B have more imperfections like scratches, discoloration, or shiny surfaces on the keys or keyboard, though all characters will still be legible.

Grade B computers are usually priced lower than Grade A machines, though the cosmetic damage to any machine will not impact the system’s overall functionality or performance.
