If you want to have the latest and coolest laptop, then a refurbished one is not for you. But, if you do not mind the minor damage to its appearance and the fact that someone else has used it before, you may want to consider buying a refurbished laptop. But why would anyone buy that instead of a new one? In this post I will deal with this issue and 3 reasons why you should have a refurbished laptop.
Maybe the first good reason for buying a refurbished laptop is that it is much cheaper than the new ones. Of course, a refurbished one means someone took the time to repair and replace the damaged components. Do some research first and buy only from reputable sources.
The second reason why you might want to buy a refurbished laptop is that it is of a more durable quality than the newer models. And it would make a great second laptop. As I explained, refurbished laptops are generally much cheaper than a new laptop. If something unexpected happens then (an accident or a disaster), you're just out of perhaps a few hundred dollars instead of a new laptop which can cost thousands.
The third reason, you might want to consider the purchase of a refurbished laptop is that you can now spend much less money on its computer. You can afford to spend more to update it with newer and better components. For example, you can add memory to speed it up, or get it a larger hard drive. You should, of course, make sure that the system is compatible with these improvements, even before you buy. Just make sure you do before making your final decision.
If you decide to buy your first refurbished laptop, you should first do plenty of research. Buy then from a reliable source that provides a kind of guarantee. Most sellers can not guarantee the laptop's battery or the software, but will provide a guarantee of at least 30 days for most of the hardware.
I discussed the three benefits of owning a refurbished laptop. They are cheaper, make a good second laptop, and you can spend more for better components. Be sure to do your research before buying. Owning one then will be a nice experience. Plus, you could still use it for some altcoin mining.
Excellent post my friend, i agree with your thoughts i also mostly consider buying a refurbished laptop instead of new one why because in our country the new laptop starts from over 500$ but we can buy a refurbished laptop in just 100$ and that's way cheaper than new one and in this way we able to save lot's of hard earned money too and i also agree that refurbished laptop's mostly works great, thanks for sharing your nice information with us, Stay blessed
When I know the source full well, I'd choose to buy a refurbished one. I bought one for my son when I was in Thailand, an AMD and it works well until now, except that the LCD broke because of carelessness. But everything else is still working fine. I connect it to a desktop LCD and VOILA!
For me, budget is the first reason why I would resort to a refurbished laptop. But if the budget fits for a new one, I'd get the brand new in a heartbeat.😎
The brand is always to be considered as well.
That is why I had such laptop.
Tibay kahit apakan, higaan at talunan ng mga pusa. :D :D :D
Refurbishing it is! Also: using my laptops and phones just a bit longer than I used to, not chasing all the newest updates anymore, let's all do our part to help slow down the rising temperatures on earth :-)
That is a good call.
I'm planning on buying one for my scriptwriting works. the one I'm currently using always leads me to go into the internet and i can't help it. with the refurbished one, i'll do only the writing works - i'll not install the lan and wifi driver on that one.
Yes, a refurbished one is good for typing jobs.
of course :)

How much price this laptop @darthnava ?
I dunno. It depends on how much was repaired or parts replaced.
3 interesting reasons to buy a refurbished laptop i will take in mind that explanations before buy one, but i'm not sure in a 100% on the authenticity of the parts that we can get of a refurbished-laptop
That' s why you gotta have guarantee of at least 30 days for most of the hardware.
Just 30 days in software darth risky but you pay a lot less. Regards

I would consider buying a refurbished one if the source is good and also the brand of the laptop is also a good factor.
But if we could have the budget I just want to be the first one to use my laptop too.
