Re: Question about refurbished laptops
Are these refurbished laptops much cheaper than a new Lenovo G 580, for
example?

I think it's better to buy a new Lenovo or Asus than a used Dell.
Asus X 501 is another interesting laptop to consider.

I'm with Robert on this one. I've also been buying refurbished Dell^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Latitudes... I'm using an E6400 right now. I've purchased through
outlet.dell.com in the past but this one came from Red Tag, a subsidy of
ubid.com. I purchased an extended warranty from squaretrade.com. I have
several docking stations but bought them from eBay... a buddy of mine just
ordered a used one for a Dell Latitude he got at the same time as I got
mine. The docking station (with power supply) was $45 including shipping.
Best Regards,
Mike

I've been buying refurbished Dell Latitudes (not Inspirons) from the^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Business section of outlet.dell.com for years. I get the longest
service contract and replace the laptop when it expires, just in case,
but they last a lot longer than that. My understanding is that
refurbished Dells have to pass more rigorous tests than new ones.
My most recent purchase was an E5420 last March, $499 for 4GB RAM,
250GB HD, 8X DVD writer, plus $100 to extend the warranty to four
years. You can get a nice dock for $160.
I'm still using Windows 7, Windows 8 seems like it may be skippable,
another Vista. I use Win32 for compatibility.

Whirlers,
I'm in the market for a refurbished laptop running Windows 8.1, or an OS
that is easily upgradeable to 8.1.
