I received this question yesterday and wanted to help clarify the meaning for some readers who may be wondering the same thing.

Used Laptops

Used laptops, as the name suggests, are laptops that have been used by a company or individual, and are resold to another individual or company. Just like used cars, these notebooks come in various conditions and levels of performance. In the industry, used laptops come in 3 different categories

“As-is” 7 day
(or similar amount)
DOA 30 day warranty

We’ll discuss each briefly.

“As- is” – used notebooks

Again using the used car analogy, “as-is” means that there is no warranty expressed or implied when purchasing this notebook. You bought it, you deal with it. These notebooks should either be inspected before purchase by someone who knows about laptops or should be purchased at such a cheap price that if it has mechanical problems shortly after purchase, it won’t be a strain on the user’s budget.

“As- is” notebooks should be thought of as units that will get you by. As-is units are also acceptable as replacement parts units if purchased at a cheap enough price.

7 day DOA

This type of DOA notebook warranty can be any amount of days; however, 7-10 days is standard. This is essentially a notebook that has been given a warranty of 1 week. These units rarely make sense for the purchase of any notebook computer that you expect to use heavily unless.

The price is incredible
You are very skilled at diagnosing and repairing laptop computers

30 day warranty

Most Used laptops will fall into this category. These notebooks have been at least certified by the vendor to boot up to an operating system without crashing, have a decent display quality, etc. Believe it or not, some great bargains can be found in this lot, depending on many factors such as The initial quality of the notebook. Thinkpad Notebooks are usually very good in this category because of their high quality and good durability.

Used laptops can be good bargains, however, the savvy shopper will attempt to stay away from AS-IS or 7-day DOA systems unless they can inspect the laptop beforehand or have great knowledge of how to repair such systems if something were to go wrong.

Refurbished laptops

Refurbished Notebooks and Laptops are systems that have been returned to the factory due to some initial mechanical flaw. The system is repaired with the correct replacement parts and re-tested again to ensure that the laptop works to its original specifications. Refurbished Laptops are an exceptional bargain for the following reasons:

  • Systems are given steep discounts. Some models are available at up to 50% off of the original retail price.
  • Systems have been thoroughly tested. – Refurbished Notebooks have been checked and re-checked for quality control and will have a lesser defect rate than a new system.

Refurbished Notebooks and Laptops come in various categories:

Grade A Refurbished

These Notebooks are in pristine condition. They may only have minor scratches.

Grade B Refurbished

These Notebooks are in good condition. They may only have minor scratches and such other things as dings in the case.

Grade C Refurbished

These Notebooks are in used condition. They may be off-lease returns from a leasing company.

Why consider refurbished notebooks?

When I am asked this question, I always respond, “Why consider a recertified used car?”

Yes, it’s great to have the “new car smell” but is that new car smell worth an extra couple thousand? It’s the same with a notebook. A brand new whiz-bang Laptop 3000xyz may cost $1000, but a refurbished whiz-bang Laptop 2500xyz may cost $759 and probably has many the same features, looks, and even processors but may be one step behind the current one in speed or memory.

In those situations, is it really worth the extra $250.00 to say that I have an extra 0.9 GHz on my laptop and an extra USB port that I won’t use? This situation is one in which a refurbished notebook is a no brainer.

For the money you can't beat it. I've had this for a week now, and I'm going to try to do my best to give a thorough review.Pros:- It came in great, impeccable condition, really, with the right charger and everything.- Awesome battery life- Comfortable keyboard- Easy to navigate (I used to have a decent windows HP but it got destroyed due to a water accident, so I wanted something cheap that works, primarily for creative writing. I have limited experience with Chromebooks, but this has been super easy to learn)- Even though this Chrombook comes on it's last update (see Cons), there are still plenty of helpful add-ons to be downloaded from the Play Store. For example, the voice recorder I downloaded (and internal mic of the chromebook) produces better sound quality than my moderately expensive HP- I like the sleek, all black design- It doesn't run hot or loudCons:- Wifi detection can be pretty weak, so make sure you have access to a strong wifi connection- Headphone jack seems to be a little worn out, so sometimes depending on how I move the chord, the sound quality in my headphones changes (this is probably a problem that is exclusive to my chromebook)- It is a tad slower overall than middle to high end laptops, but not unbearable- Since Chrome is on it's last update, you can't download crucial extensions like Adblock.Overall, for 62 dollars or something after taxes, this is an amazing laptop. Frankly, I love it, and all the cons are not deal breakers at all. I guess it also comes down to the quality of the individual Chromebook that is shipped to you, as I suspect some are in better condition than others, but if Amazon's inspection process has improved, then I would think that the odds of getting a dud are less and less.Bottom line: If you want a laptop that's good and cheap, this is perfect for browsing, watching videos, writing. It's a tad slower than your higher end laptops, but oh well. It's fantastic, really.
Damaged. Please do not buy a chrome book from them.. horrible condition, the screen does not turn on, scratches all over it. This is a scam i think these people are passing around the same damage chrome book nobody wants and keep returning. I pray amazon flagged them from selling this product. The chrome book should be a donation to goodwill instead of trying to sale it to anybody who would take it. The pawn shop would probably not take the reason they are scamming to sale it online to people when it should just go to goodwill for somebody 2yr old kid to play with it as a toy since it not even that functional at all i would not sale that book to dog its was horrible. No way anything on Amazon should be sold looking like that. I want my money back. Go donate blood if you looking for money instead of trying to bleed money out of people passing around the same damaged chrome book you know do not work and not functional at all.
Great product for a great price. I love my dell chrome book it's my 2nd one they kids took over my forst one I had the forst one since 2022 and it still working great. The first one they sent was not working correctly got replacement in 2 days
Cosmetic Issues but it Works. This was a Christmas present and I’m glad I told them it was refurbished because the sticker they applied to the casing was peeling off. Also, you can’t update Chrome because the device is so old so you can’t add extensions. Not a big deal for what my mom needs but it would have been nice to know. Can’t complain for the price though.
Great buy for a great price. Bought 2 of them for my children. And they absolutely love it. Their laptop goes everywhere with them. Very durable because my 2 year old be stepping on it. Very reliable. Gives no problems what so ever. I was skeptical on getting this, but it turns out this was such a great buy. Love love loooove the product and it seems so much bigger in person.
Both Chromebook had issues. We bought this Chromebook, just to run an app for a Smartboard for my wife's classroom.The unit was nice and clean, ran the Smartboard fine, and we were happy with the price. After about 2 weeks, one of the shift keys stopped working. We asked for an exchange, and got a 2nd unit. This one had issues right out of the box. The scroll pad, just does not respond correctly. Also, the Smartboard won't fully function with this unit.We were going to get a 3rd unit, but you can't, until the others are returned. But my wife is at least getting by with the original, until we get a fully working replacement. We decided to try a refurbished HP Chromebook, and are going to return the two Dells for a refund.
Amazeballs from start to finish. I needed a cheap laptop quickly for a few projects I'm working on and this one has exceeded my expectations. For the price I wasn't expecting it to look and behave like a new one. It is the perfect size to work on without being too wide or bulky. It fits in what my mom calls my "movie going purse" (if you know , you know 😁). I ordered it late in the day, so I expected it to ship the next day but to my utter joy I received a message a couple hours later saying it shipped and would arrive by 10pm the next day. I was pretty excited that I would get it a full day before I expected. Once again though, my expectations were exceeded in the most wonderful way when I woke up to the notification that my package had been delivered. There was obvious care taken in the packaging to ensure that nothing could harm this refurbished beauty. I have to give props to the delivery peoples as well because the box it shipped in was even in pristine condition which tells me that from start to finish everyone involved in the handling of my purchase treated it like I imagine they would would their own. Anytime I need anything else I know who to look for!
Sooo janky but for the price, what do you ezpect. This laptop is obviously dirt cheap and I guess you get your money’s worth. But it’s soooo slow, so janky, I mean literally takes minutes to load a new browser page. Battery life is pretty terrible so I wouldn’t take it out and about without the charger. I bought this so I could still do schoolwork on a backpacking trip in Colombia and it served its purpose, although it can be pretty frustrating to use. But I think if you’re in a situation where you just need a super temporary, cheap solution, this will do just fine.
¡Un poco lento pero llega! Esta era una máquina anticuada con sólo 4 gigas de RAM, por lo que mis expectativas no eran altas. Funciona bien y no se congela continuamente como lo hacía mi máquina W11.
Muy funcional y buen precio
no es lo que esperaba ya que esta en ingles y no le entiendo pero buscare quien me ayude espero funcione
Las calcomanías que ponen para que se vea como nuevo venían mal pegadas y tiene menor capacidad a la que prometen.

Excellent Value for Refurbished Dell E6420 Laptop. I am giving this laptop 5 stars, as this really is a great value overall.On the positive side, my "refurbished" laptop arrived in extremely great shape, with no discernible scratches and fully functional. I went ahead and checked the internals as well, (not for your average home user), and it was very clean. My particular unit was manufactured in May of 2012, and I am thinking it did not have a lot of mileage to it. It does come with a new clean installation of Windows 7 64 bit Professional, ready to boot up and install. The battery seemed in good shape, and passed the Dell website battery diagnostic test. In addition, while these machines are out of original warranty, (3 years), the Dell website is full of easy to use support options, even offering an extended warranty if you wish to pay for it. A machine like this, refurbished from Dell proper, will run $700 to $800. You might want to read the reviews on the Dell E6420 on the Web, as it is a robust laptop, made for travel and not made of egg shells. Fantastic machine.On the critical side, my unit came with the i5-2410M Intel Sandy Bridge processor, and not the i5-2520, (as advertised), and the i5-2410M is slightly slower, with a base of 2.3 Ghz., and turbo boost (sustained) of 2.8 Ghz. In addition, the 4 GB of RAM, (2 x 2 GB modules), were miss matched in speed, so they were only running at 533 Mhz, and not 667 Mhz. I went ahead and changed them out to new 2 new Corsair RAM modules at 4 GB, for a total of 8 GB dual channel memory, now running at 800 Mhz. I was not crazy about the old Samsung 128 GB SSD that came with the Laptop, so I changed it out to a new Toshiba 256 GB Q Series Pro SSD, and I ran an additional clean install of Windows 7 64 bit Professional. The new RAM and new SSD made a reasonably fast laptop even faster. You can use this laptop for very demanding applications without the computer lagging or slowing down. The only area this laptop might fall short on would be for intensive graphics associated with complex PC games, 3D rendering, or intense video editing. For most business and home applications, this laptop will more then keep up.Keep in mind, that if you need any additional drivers or support, you can get it all at the Dell website. I went ahead and updated the BIOS and checked for the most up to date drivers off of the Dell website.Also, be prepared to take some time on the first install of Windows 7, that there will be about 200 to 220 updates needed almost immediately once you get the machine up and running and hooked up to the Internet. On the bright side, you did not get a new laptop with a "ton" of stupid bloatware and junk you did not want or need.These Dell Machines do come in slightly different configurations, and are being sold by different secondary vendors. Mine came from TechHarvard, but there are 2 or 3 other vendors selling these as well under this same heading. While I feel very positive about buying this refurbished laptop, and I know I got an excellent value, individual results may vary.Quite frankly, I would buy this machine again, and I would buy this refurbished Dell laptop ahead of most of the new junk that you can find in the Retail stores. If you are on a budget, and you need a great laptop, you could not go wrong buying this unit. If you are not on a budget, go ahead and get the new Dell E6440 laptop, but be prepared to fork over $1,200 or so for the privilege. Trust me, the Dell E6440 is not going to perform much better then this refurbished E6420, and if the new E6440 comes with a standard hard drive instead of an SSD, it will be a slower machine.If in doubt, just buy it.(Edit and Update Jan 2017). I did go ahead and upgrade this Laptop PC to Windows 10 Pro, during the Summer of 2016. I am happy to share that I ran into "Zero" issues with the upgrade, and had no driver issues. Even at this particular time of update, a year and a half after I have purchased this machine, it is still running strong and it is a better value than the Laptops you might get at a Big Box Store. FYI.
Good Computer for a good price. The computer was all that it was said to be, looks like new and runs perfectly. was easy to set-up. Came when it was scheduled to arrive. So far I am very happy
Not worth it. I really wanted to be excited about these computers. I know others who have bought them and are really happy with their purchase, but that was not the case for us.We 2 for our kids to use for school. They have heavier cases and built in cd/dvd drives. Both computers have trouble charging. The screens go black when the charger is plugged in and one of the computer's screen goes dim for no apparent reason. They both run extremely slow and have trouble connecting to the internet - none of our other computers/devices have this trouble. One of the computers freezes on a regular basis making it impossible to use. Neither computer has anything other than basic programs loaded (Microsoft Office, Dragon Speak, AVG, Firefox is all they have on them).Bottom line: they aren't worth the money saved.
Mine has a dead pixel and minor scuffing. Mine arrived quickly and well packaged. I was disappointed to find a dead pixel in the lower left corner, about 2" from either side (so very in the way).However, the only job this laptop has is to output to a 32" television in our front room as a media center PC. As such, the actual laptop screen is never used.Had I been using it as a real notebook, I would have returned for an exchange.My unit does have light scuffing, indicative of a definitely used item.Having said all that, the laptop is very speedy. The clean install of Win 7 booted up and has caused me no problems. I haven't bothered entering the included product key, though I'm sure it's valid.I was hesitant to see how well the notebook handled 1080p videos in VLC and YouTube and was pleasantly surprised to see it plays all videos well.All in all, it was a good buy for its intended use.

Budget laptop easy to use and great for accessing youtube videos. Retired after 39 years as systems analyst and now enjoy my 5 bedroom house which my stepdaighter bought for me and my wife of 28 uears. It has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in the main house and the garage is converted to a bedroom and bathroom. It has a pool and jacuzzi in the back yard. I enjoy watching youtube videos on my laptop so when my laptop failed a few week ago I ordered a refurbished Lenovo Chromebook last week and received it today.It plays my Youtube videos prrfectly which is great as I am retired andenjoy Youtube daily.The only thing missing is cd or dvd player. As i received Youtube and Amazon prime a few months ago as part of my hish sevice a few months ago. I am enjoying the channels immensely being an 11 year member of Amazon Prime.
Super Value. Chromebooks have truly become a disposable commodity. My college daughter had an ASUS that died and needed one ASAP before she returned to classes after Spring Break. As long as it worked, for seventy bucks I was going to be happy. For a "Refreshed" computer, I was more than happy with this Lenovo 300e. Yeah, it doesn't have the touch screen and yes, there are some minor cosmetic blemishes. Also, the "5" key has a bit of an extra click to it.That's all that wrong with it though. For what it is, it is powerful and quick enough. The screen and audio are good, and the keyboard is surprisingly high quality. The trackpad works nicely, and the battery life is good. I wish it had a 2nd USB C port, but just about everything else is there and works or isn't needed. My daughter is happy with it and says it is as good or better than her previous Chromebook.~ Kort
Great deal. I love it it's exactly what I wanted
Seller is not reliable. Update: This seller will not offer an exchange only refunds. Even if it is damaged. They are very hard to work with. Highly recommend choosing a different seller!!!!!!The computer itself is pretty good. The speed is nice and works well. There are some cosmetic imperfections and not in pristine condition, but it's to be expected for the price. My biggest issue is several keys on the keyboard keep sticking or are hard to press. It makes it hard for a kid to learn to type. I currently am waiting on an exchange through Amazon and will update my review if the new one is better.One note: I first contacted the seller and they said they didn't have an exchange available and could only have me return the computer. However, Amazon showed there were 8 left. Maybe because the price has gone up since I ordered, maybe not.
Fails at AC power port, the rest functioning. Pretty nice little notebook, well made, but for some glaring problems. AC port becomes loose or otherwise fails to connect, needs reinforced anchoring at entry port. OS is better than non-pro versions, but, it is still clunky old Microsoft. Needs easily addressable instructions for UEFI settings to reformat drive and install alternate (BETTER!) OS. Shame to waste nice hardware on such awful software. Windows still beats Chrome OS, which is garbage +. I want my Linux back, tell MS to stop strangling the market.
Wonderful Little Laptop. So first I want to start by saying that I was completely surprised. I bought the non-touchscreen version because it was cheaper with more space; however I received one that was a touchscreen. This Chromebook is great for some gaming and is lightweight and portable. It boots up super quick and also charges quickly with an amazing battery life. It has consumed my existence.
Great lap top. For the price, it is extremely sturdy and functional!
Slow. Slow but hey it works
Muy buen equipo para trabajo cotidiano. Extraordinario rendimiento de batería
no lo compren, yo tuve la mala decisión de comprar este producto, pésimo, no funciona el touch la pila no dura nada
Dice "Sin visualizacion Tactil"... ¿que es eso?... pues bien, quiere decir que no funciona la pantalla tactil, lo raro es que se podria usar como tablet (porque se voltea 360 grados), pero sin pantalla tactil no es practica.
Hoy recibí el.producto y la terminal tipo c se ve dañada y no proporciona carga al equipo, no quisiera regresar todo el equipo pero me gustaría obtener otro cargador
The media could not be loaded.  Que podemos hacer mi hija la abrió y no sirve el touch

A very good value. This gift is going to make a little boy very happy! Because of issues, he was on the verge of not believing in Santa and challenged Santa to get him a laptop if he were real. Out of desperation, I ordered a refurbished one from these guys and it's great! It works well, was easy to set up, and at the same time, my sister ordered a refurbished Apple tablet for us. It is obsolete and can't be updated. I love windows cause even if you have older windows versions, that you can update and that "play well with others." I've never had or used a Dell that I was disappointed in either! I'm so happy that, for an incredible price, I was able to make that little boy's dreams come true and restore his faith in Santa! The next time I am in the market for a computer, I'll be checking with this seller first and I will be continuing with Windows cause they are faithful!
Do not buy this item! Horrible at best. These items come used from school districts. It had a Windows blue screen at the startup. First we had to purchase a replacement charge cord bc it came with one that wasn't for this computer. Had to wait another week and purchase one ourselves after numerous attempts to contact this seller. After the replacement came it worked temporarily. About a week then stopped working saying the battery was bad. Very bad experience start to finish! Do NOT purchase this laptop or anything else from this seller!!!!!
Runs perfect. I love this laptop. It arrived in new condition like I bought it in the store. The power supply looked new also and the laptop started up right away. Went through the Windows getting-to-know-you, turned off the very few background apps running and some things like Visual Effects because it is a low-performance processor.I bought it to run a text editor for a printer and it works perfect. I don’t need to start up the big desktop PC with all the heat, just keep this little laptop in Sleep mode and it’s ready in a second to create layouts and print.One of my Best buys on Amazon.
Works great, good speed. Everything works like it should, it's faster and better than I expected!
Good Business to Work with. This is a great little computer and is just what I needed. I had a problem with the machine and the company was very prompt in resolving. I would absolutely do business with them again and highly recommend them.
No battery, "B" key sticks. The money I spent was very small, but I did not receive a owners manual and there is no battery, which I am sure you are aware are not cheap
Quality. It is what it said works very well!
Major problems, but maybe halfway usable. Booting the first time asked for login from a school district. WTF?!? After messing with the BIOS settings I was able to get it to re-install Windows 10. However, the battery is dead, dead, dead. It must be plugged in to work, and it complains that the power supply isn't the right one. That limits usability. And, the processor is Intel(R) Pentium(R) Silver N5000 CPU @ 1.10GHz 1.10 GHz. Definitely doesn't fit the definition of "Renewed".
Bien cuidado y y su procesamiento muy agil, sin problema.
There was a windows bluescreen on startup saying it needed repairs, this might be troublesome for the average user. However I intended this device to be used with linux and a junk computer if stolen when using at the library. Keep in mind!! That the ram on this computer is not upgradable, you get 4 gbs and thats all you get!!! The great advantage is this is a completely fanless computer and it's a Dell, so its highly compatible with linux operating systems, more so than other brands. Apparently you can upgrade the EMMC (basically memory card (smaller than usual memory storage). There is no ethernet port, but the size of this thing is great.

Outstanding value. I needed a windows laptop for some windows apps. Having been an apple user for over 30 years idea how inexpensive and quality HP laptops are. Easy to use, faster than I could have expected. Extreme value for the money.
Excellent Condition. The laptop has exceeded all my expectations. Under the hood, this laptop is an absolute powerhouse.
Intermittent Touchpad Issues and Slow Performance. Physically, the laptop is in great condition. However, right out the gate I had major issues. The overall performance is sluggish and buggy. Even trying to open Settings took forever. The touchpad only works for a few seconds before freezing up (mouse works just fine but I purchased this laptop to write while sitting in a comfy chair and not to be tethered to a mouse and desk) and only intermittently shows up in Device Manager. Suffice to say, immediately having to do a Factory Reset on Day One is not a good sign.
Good for work. While setting up the laptop I noticed that there were two scratches on the laptop in total, one being more of a scratch than the other. Hardly noticeable, although overall it looked brand new. I have no real complaints as of yet while using it. It's what I expected, I knew it is not a computer meant for gaming but more for getting some work done. I can easily open 12 tabs, have a youtube vid running and open a word document but it is not going to run Minecraft on the lowest settings, I mean it can but its unplayable in my opinion.The computer does not come with windows 11 installed, I felt lied too when I got it and saw it running windows 10 In S mode out of the box since the description, title and specs clearly say and show windows 11. (running "S mode" just means running safe mode) It comes with a card in the box telling you how to disable it, but one disabled it can not be re-enabled. The photos even show windows 11. But not to worry, I simply installed windows 11 on my own after a days worth of updates. A quick google search and one youtube vid can help install it.It does not have an ethernet port. But I got an ethernet to USB adaptor to make pages load faster.The camera? It has one! It works, it will get the job done.No issues with any ports or the charging cable, no issues with the mouse pad. Everything feels brand new.In conclusion, this is a decent laptop at its price for getting work done. So if you need a computer to write an essay for school or need to hop in a zoom call then this can work just as good as your phone. Personally I plan to learn and practice learning some programming languages on it from youtube and such. You even have that "Guarantee by Amazon" where you can return it in 90 days or get support.
Reliability. I loved this laptop for my son because it is simple and very easy to use.Another plus that this laptop has good amount of memes to save games/ and gameplay is smooth.Also streaming “Prime Video” Movies and shows in Hd and also the best part having Bluetooth to connect to any audio device.I Recommend this HP to anyone looking for a Reliable, easy on the wallet Dependable laptop.
Does the job well. It was a quick replacement for my much older, much slower laptop. I had it up and running in an hour, including security. Well done.
Good for the price. Great laptop for the price. You can tell it is only $200 as the quality is not as nice as I would like. It has crashed on me in the month that I’ve had it and lost all my work.
works. works well, sometimes runs slow but not sure why and im too stupid and lazy to figure it out, but it does what i need it to do, and came very quickly in a secure box inside another box (for some reason), the keypad is very responsive and fun bc it goes clicky clacky, but i dont really get why theres page up and down keys on the right side. but the screen is good and lets me watch (and read) porn in hd.

Good deal for the quality. I needed to buy a cheap MacBook for MAST testing iPhones and .ipa files for my work. This particular model fit my budget and works well. I have been traveling and using the laptop for months without any problems. I have not checked the internals, but the exterior of the Mackbook is in pristine condition. The battery life is better than expected for a refurbished laptop as well.My only complaint is that I am not able to run all of the programs that I would like due to hardware and OS limitations, but this is normal for a laptop that was produced in 2015.I plan on buying my wife a MacBook from this seller as well. She needs a machine for her design courses and the current Windows laptop she has is underpowered (with little options for upgrades) for the Adobe Suite.Thank you for the awesome product!
Very satisfied and impressed. I am very impressed by the quality of this MacBook.Everyone was suspicious about the quality when I said I bought this for this price, but the quality of this MacBook is really good! It looks like new, and not heavy, and the speed is also fast like a new one! I am so glad I found this store! This product is one of the best products I have bought from Amazon!
Great works fine and really big. I love it its not slow or anything it moves perfectly fine please order if u need it for college /hs
OUTDATED. If you are buying this computer to do any type of productivity whether it’s school/work ect.. I strongly urge you not to buy this. The description conveniently leaves out the fact that this is a 2015 MacBook Air that runs on an operating system that is no longer supported and cannot be updated making it so you cannot download virtually any apps, extensions or even run current Microsoft and probably other programs in the BROWSER rendering the item almost completely useless. I understand that these details are likely hidden somewhere in the description but are very very easily overlooked by anyone who is not educated about computers or Mac so while I take part blame, the sellers should’ve highlighted the specific version of the operating system and model of MacBook Air. Very disappointed (also the refurbishing job was subpar at best. The sticker skin placed on the laptop probably to cover scratches was not even lined up properly and had wrinkles
Great utility from an older computer. Solid MacBook Air for a very reasonable price. Great for basic web access, photos, document editing etc.
Refurbish and Reuse, Conserve and Renew. It's an older version, yes, and it is not the most recent, but I love this. The 13-in screen is clear, and the battery life is 8 hours+. The software is more than adequate for my use. In fact, I have more apps that I use. Looking at the environmental costs of new products and the price of this refurbished laptop, this was a no-brainer.It is LIGHT. The lightest laptop I've had, and the sleek aluminum body stays cool after hours of use. I guess they fixed that heatsink/logic-board-overheating problem that was common in the first few generations.When I bought my first Mac 2GB laptop (wifi card or extra memory, optional) in San Jose, it weighed SIX pounds. Technology is wonderful. It gets lighter and cheaper.
Fast delivery. Good product and magnificent condition perfect gift for my nephew
Quality. It does everything we need it to do and it was delivered in a timely manner!
No es la ultimó modelo, pero cumple con funcionalidad.
En estética llegó en 95% trae cargador original peroo tiene un problema, la computadora funciona bien hasta que llega a una carga del 20% promedio y de la nada se apaga, y aveces si la dejas mucho tiempo apagada al querer encender te marca que no tiene pila, esto no afecta su operación diaria, así que estoy feliz y satisfecha por la compra
I love it, work perfectly for now. Thanks Amazon.
Partendo dal presupposto che non ho mai comprato oggetti ricondizionati figuriamoci tecnologie Apple che hanno un corso di vita abbastanza definito.. ma leggendo la garanzia di Amazon renew sono stato attirato dall’annuncio che vendeva questo macbook air 13” con condizioni eccellenti con 1 anno di garanzia amazon.Entusiasta anche, non poco, per il prezzo e per questa garanzia Amazon, ho comprato l’articolo che in caso non avrebbe pesato alle mie tasche come un macbook comprato nuovo. La spedizione è stata fatta subito, l’ordine è arrivato anche anticipatamente rispetto al previsto. La confezione era di un macbook air ( riciclata ovviamente) all’interno un macbook air grigio siderale che a parte una minima ammaccatura su uno degli angoli, non presenta altre imperfezioni. Il caricatore è molto usurato ma carica perfettamente il PC. Accendendo il macbook e, dopo aver aggiornato il sistema nelle sue ultime versioni, funziona perfettamente. Molto veloce e prestante ( da calcolare che ho anche un altro macbook e questo mi serviva come secondo pc per svolgere alcuni lavori più veloci e da potermi portare con più leggerezza). Andando nei dettagli del laptop ha gia un ciclo di ricariche di 3350 su 10000 quindi direi che è abbastanza nuova. Il prezzo super conveniente. Contento rifarei l’acquisto che consiglierò e mi ha fatto anche scoprire la parte renewed di amazon sulla quale ora inizierò a dare più spesso uno sguardo prima di effettuare altri acquisti.

Quality and appearance. This product works great and the price was right,like brand new.
Great laptop for price. I bought this because I needed something to do homework on. I’ve been using it for a few months with no issues, I love it.
Good. This laptop works good overall, but some of the keys are sticky and the keypad stops working after using is for a little bit. Its works good other than those minor mishaps.
Does the job. Worked as intended, needed a laptop to access classes while on a trip and this chromebook came through. The built in camera isn't great but you can connect a seperate camera.
Defected laptop. I am extremely unhappy and disappointed with this company. The only thing I wanted to do is get my 81 year old mother -in-law a lap top to be able to face time with her family. I ordered this device and initially the wrong charging cord was sent out. ( The round one but the device required the flat one) . The seller sent the accurate cord, however, the laptop wouldn’t work. I was getting these codes displayed in the pictures. So I followed the step to recover the chrome OS and it’s asking me for a usb to plug in. That was never sent to me … So that didn’t work. I decided to refund the product and found out that this company wants me to pay for the return. ( for a defected laptop) .. This entire ordeal has been a mess. I’m not sure what’s going on with this company but as a Teacher who works with the county’s IT department.. This is definitely not acceptable!!!!! So I’m waiting to hear back from the seller to figure out how I can get my money back from a lap top that doesn’t work and having to pay for the return.
Was scratched up and miss represented. Had a fake sticky cover covering up damage, was advertised damage free, was supposed to be a birthday present thanks for not being truthful I wasted my time and money do not recommend
Nice. Nice
Freezes up all the tim. Undependable. I would return it, but I think I'm past the due date.
Pues me gustó la laptop por eso la compréPero lo que no me gustó es que todavía no me ha llegadoY anda perdido mi pedido
El cargador es súper usado y viejo además al conectarlo al dispositivo no pasaba corriente y ya no supe si era la lap o el cargador, Amazon ya vende basura.

Friggin love this laptop. During the COVID lockdown, my job had us work remotely and gave everyone this laptop to use. The Dell Latitude model is a hardy little machine. It's fast and works great for basic school and work needs. I'm not sure about how it would hold up for advanced use but if you're looking for something affordable, efficient, and fast, this laptop does the trick!Also, the battery isn't the best so I keep the charger handy at all times but for the price, I'm a happy customer.
Fantastic deal. I was sweating this purchase out. I bought it just to run Zwift. But so far I am very impressed. Maybe I got lucky, but the computer that I received was in mint condition (like new). Screen great, keyboard great, no cracks or even scratches that I can see. High end processor (i5) solid state drive is an upgrade over my current laptop. Can’t speak to battery life as I haven’t had this laptop long but I really don’t care because I will leave it plugged in 99% of the time.Pretty happy right now.
A strong value when bought as "renewed". I purchased this laptop used, refurbished by a Microsoft-approved service. There were a few smudges on the bottom of the case, and a few specks of dust inside, but I couldn't find any marks, scuffs, or damage.Pros:*Runs great. 16GB of DDR4 Ram keeps everything moving along quite nicely.* No apparent damage or signs of use, other than some smudges on the bottom of the case which wiped off easily.* No dust or crumbs stuck in the vents.* Power cord and brick in good condition, but not new-looking.* Light weight.* Feels sturdy enough I believe it will last a long time with good care.* Fan noise was unnoticeable to me, though I only tested when I consider to be low and medium-load games, the most demanding being Valheim on medium settings.* USB C port for the win! This opens up some nice options for docking stations and reduces the need for adapters.* BIG PRO: I didn't run into any bloatware! If it's there, it's unobtrusive. I was able to get things the way I like them very quickly with no struggle. What a relief!Cons:* Screen is mediocre, washes out with even minor viewing-angle changes. Not suggested for watching a movie with a second person. Looks fine once you find the optimum viewing angle, though.* I couldn't find many display or graphics-related options. Not sure the calibration process did much for me, other than enhancing the readability of text.* Relatively small internal storage may fill up quickly, depending on what you store. You can add storage by inserting a large-capacity SD card.* This is more of a personal gripe, but I'm not a big fan of low-throw keyboards, so I purchased a separate portable keyboard to throw in my carry bag. As an upshot, this will reduce wear on the laptop's keys, helping to maintain its value, should I choose to sell it later.Conclusion: This laptop was a steal at the deep discount that came along with it being renewed. I often buy renewed electronics for the savings and to reduce tech waste. If you can get a great, 1 year-old Windows laptop for the same price as a low-end Chromebook, why not? I look forward to many hours of sitting in the café, playing Slay the Spire instead of writing my novel. Cheers!
Laptop Comes WITHOUT A BATTERY. The laptop was advertised to be in "Refurbished-Excellent" condition. Though, it came without a battery. It immediatly powers off once removed from charger. The seller claims them to be an "Amazon Certified / Microsoft Certified" refurbisher.Who on earth sells a laptop without a battery???People by refurbished because they cant afford a new one. Please don't scam such people by selling these garbage.Shame on the refurbisher and shame on the certifiers who endorse them.
It’s a great laptop for the price. It’s faster than a brand new laptop for the exact same priceAnd it has more features it is a little outdated but if you don’t care or know how to upgrade internal parts it’s a great choice ☺️
Great laptop for work. I love this Dell laptop. It's by far one of the best deals for me because of the quality of the laptop. Its simple to operate and navigate. Working on this laptop is comfortable and with a great WiFi connection it's excellent. Great performance and the fact that you can touch the screen much like you would a tablet is also very convenient.
A bit disappointed. I really wanted to like this laptop. It did look great and new. And I loved that the keys light up. There were some keys however, that did not work. For example, the volume keys on the keyboard did not work. It wasn’t a big deal for me because I can manually click the volume button on the screen or adjust it through my headphones. A couple of other buttons were not functioning either. It wasn’t a big deal because there were other ways around it. However, what made me return it was the Ethernet cable port. Once I plugged my Ethernet cable in, I could not get it back out. It was stuck. I had to unscrew the whole back of the laptop just to get my Ethernet cable out and it was still difficult to do so. Having the Ethernet port malfunction was a deal breaker because the company I work for requires me to be on LAN/ hardwire connection. I realized later that I may have been able to use an Ethernet cable adapter but it’s too late. I returned the product. Other than that it ran really well and fast and was extremely easy to set up.
Wonderful Product. Wonderful company! Prompt delivery, great product! I love the environmental part of buying refurbished! Also, the fail rate on refurbished is lower than off the shelf new products!
J'ai acheté mon ordinateur il y a maintenant 4 mois, il fonctionne toujours très bien et celui de mon conjoint également. Ils sont arrivés en parfait état, comme neuf. J'ai juste eu à changer quelques touches du clavier qui n'étaient pas à la bonne place mais rien de grave, je suis très satisfaite de mon achat!
Mi segunda computadora solicitada y Llegó antes de lo programado, no se le distinguen detalles estéticos. Hasta el momento trabaja muy bien, la batería parece estar en óptimo estado.
Purchased refurbished with a degree of caution expecting to be a little disappointed but I need not have worried.The laptop arrived ahead of the delivery date in perfect protected packaging along with some help notes if any concerns and a free bag of sweets!The condition of the laptop was sold as excellent and it was.Infact it was near to perfect condition, screen, keyboard, battery (100%) touch pad all as new... only 3 faintest of marks on the underside of the case.Probably to date the best purchase (£ for value) I've recieved on amazon.Will definitely be using Compuclear again in the future.... this is how it should be done.
This laptop is great has Bluetooth and is fast with the Intel Core i5. I just use the laptop with the charger most of the time but it could run for 7-8 hours without the battery. Which is good. Overall great laptop.
Llego como nuevo, sin detalles y funcionando muy bien. La batería dura bastante bien (llego con la grande de 60 Wh). El único problema que tenía al principio era que se sobrecalentaba mucho y esto hacía que se congelara el sistema o diera pantallazo azul, se solucionó desactivando una opción en la BIOS que era un tipo de overclock para el CPU. Ya casi dos meses de la compra y sigue funcionando de maravilla, dandole uso como estudiante de ingeniería

Quality for less. Super excited when it arrived before expected . Very happy with quality and condition . Excellent price .
Doable. Pretty fine for the price!
Cheap well built laptop. If you are interested in a cheap laptop for under $200, this is the laptop you want. However; very small amount of memory available. If you need more memory this laptop is not what you are looking for.
good battery life and quality. Not to sure why this computer is rated as bad battery life because I had mine last for literally days once I fully charged it before it died and I use it at least 2 hours every day since I had gotten it. I use it mainly for school its cheap and efficent and does what I need it too I really like it and it was a nice suprise considering it was refurbished.
very pleased. So far better than expected
Two Chrome Books. I recently acquired two Chromebooks for use by school-aged children. While the price and size were satisfactory, I have encountered an issue with only one charger functioning as expected. Given that school has already commenced, I am unable to return the product and am feeling quite disappointed with this experience. At this point, I am uncertain if I will consider future purchases of this nature.
It's fine, kinda chunky. I didn't like ChromeOS so I got rid of that. The computer is not exactly lightweight like everyone says chromebooks are, but it is not such a bad thing. For the price, it's perfectly adequate hardware - but it'd be cool if you could swap a hard drive or really do anything with it. Obviously, that's not how chromebooks are though.
Bought Refurbished - It Works. It still had the previous owner as the owner, so I did a Power Wash and was able to remove her and add myself. Only 4 stars cuz the seller should have done the power wash before the sell.

I like it. I used to be able to get around with computers a few decades ago; but I am not very conversant in them nowadays.I bought this in 'good' condition. I couldn't find a mark on it!I had a need for a second Windows machine; and this filled the bill.It is a 2 in 1; fold it in half; and it functions like a tablet. I am having a blast with it! It's a lot handier than my 15" HP.
It does what it does. I picked this up because I needed to do some work with my car and needed a windows computer for the software. This fit the bill. It's all solid state and has decent specs. You aren't gaming on it, but if you need an inexpensive laptop for shop or utility use, it's hard to beat for the price. It did what it needed to do.My only real complaint is the battery seems a bit short lived even on power saver mode. However, as long as I'm aware of that and there's a plug reasonably close to charge after a couple hours, it's fine. Being a refurb, your milage might vary, but all in all I have no issues.
No Customer Service. Defective product described as "excellent". Nice and clean, looked promising. there were multiple prior wi-fi log ons, so it had been used. Letter "O" and left click on keypad non-functional. Worse, even simple tasks like web surfing news sites would trigger Windows error messages("mode exception not handled" "unexpected kernel mode trap", etc and system would reboot). I called service # enclosed and left a message, but there was no call back. After 24 hours, I called again, and again left a message. An hour later, still no response. I'm not satisfied, so I'm boxing it up.
Dell Compact Versatile PC. This compact & versatile personal computer is perfect for traveling and/or bedroom emergency/last minute tasks.I was VERY skeptical about this Dell Windows 10 PC $130 purchase but I am truly enjoying the: ability to switch positions as needed (folding, laying flat, flipping, 90°) and the screen automatically adjusts, use of touch-screen when folded or not, the fact that it has a HDMI port, 2 USB ports, SD card slot, Head Phone port, all of the function keys (F1-F12) and there's a camera on both the screen & the keyboard for the different positions.The ease of use surprised me even beyond the 90 day warranty which had me nervous but it's still working: I'm using Office 365 and few other of my work related apps as well as Anti-Virus software with no lagging. The WiFi works without any issues 2G or 5G but I use Ethernet connection by way of a USB/Ethernet connection cord because I prefer it over WiFi (item shown purchased from Amazon as well).The battery is legit though sometimes it says 1hr left but it's actually more than that so there may be a flaw there. You can always switch to economy use and get longer battery use; regular battery I've had 5 hours continued use, Eco-friendly I've had even longer (it really depends on what you're doing with the PC). The bottom does get warm so be mindful of that while using it for a long period.Another flaw I encountered was the K key that is a hit or miss; meaning you may have to press it multiple times for it to work but I'm okay with that too; Autocorrect or Auto Complete will suggest the word for you anyway.At the present moment it's working just fine and I get to travel with the PC without the weight or size bogging me down. I use a padded carry case with handles or I put it in the reserved padded technology space of my back pack.
A handy back up laptop recommend for travel. Thankfully my son was available to install this Del but he found it easy to work with.We had to purchase an inexpensive adapter to use when loading digital pictures from our digital camera but the attachments works fine. I am not sure how other customers might install this computer but my son was able to transfer nearly 98 percent of my files from another computer into this compact Del laptop, including many of my passwords! Although I did not think the touch screen would impress me, I have grown into really liking it because it is the best way to readjust the screen size. For some mysterious reason, the battery icon on the start ribbon disappeared. Consequently I have to go into settings to find out how much batter life is remaining; but I have at least 5 hours of battery was able to set an alarm when the battery reaches 20 percent. Overall, this compact laptop is a good investment. My son also downloaded the Microsoft office from Amazon. Thank God for sons!
Great product. I got it for work i didn’t need anything to crazy I’m a mechanic and fills my need
Price and quality. It's a refurbished. That's o k, I'm down with it. But the charger would not charge the laptop.When I contact and customer service. They told me to send it back, and they could send me out another one or buy a new charger. Like wow, OK so I did. and then after I got it charged. It don't hold a charge long. I think it needs a new battery. Then finally getting to use it as some of the key stick on it. That r Having To deal with that kind of crazy mess. I find it Insane to be told What I was told. For it to be handled the way that it was handled, I find it inappropriate and Not satisfied with seller and the outcome. But all and all, I like the laptop. It's just what I needed. It's a great 2 and 1 tablet laptop, small, portable. It downloads and performs very well other than being slow because of the battery and it doesn't hold a charge long, It's great, nice price other than dealing with the BS...
My lap top. Great
