If you are looking for a good laptop, but do not have the funds to really get the one you have your eye on, then maybe you could look into getting a refurbished version.
At first you may be thinking, why would I get a used laptop? However, you might be shocked at the advantages you will be getting with refurbished laptops.
Below are some the reasons to really look at them before making a decision to buy brand new.
The Price Lets be honest, the biggest reason why you would want to buy refurbished is because of the price.
For most refurbished items, you are looking at getting at least 20% off the price that you would have to pay if you bought the laptop brand new.
In other places, you might as much as 50% off.
Regardless, you know that you will see a really big savings when you purchase a refurbished item of any kind.
Get a Better Laptop I was in the market for a notebook a few months back.
When I went out on my quest I had my eyes on a couple of different ones.
One was significantly better, but the other was a couple of hundred dollars less in price.
I continued looking around then I came across a refurbished version of the first laptop I was looking at.
I ended up getting it because it was a better laptop and was less in price than the non-refurbished laptop.
You can not get much better than that! Get a Virtually New Laptop You may be thinking to yourself, "why would I want to get a used laptop?" However, this is actually not entirely accurate.
Sure, some of the refurbished items probably have been owned by someone for a few months.
The vast majority of them though are ones that maybe were sold with a bad battery or something not exactly working properly.
So they took it back, fixed the problem, but cannot sell it as something new.
It probably does not have any scratches on it, it does not have any other known problems, and they need to get what they can out of it.
Thus, it becomes sold as a refurbished item.
A good deal for you! The Misconception of Warranties Just because something is refurbished does not mean that the warranties have been tossed out the window.
In most cases, refurbished items have a limited type of warranty and may not have the warranty that a new one has.
However, you will typically get a refurbished item with some type of warranty, maybe about six months.
In this time, if you have any problems you should be able to return the item as if it were new.
I have never had any trouble with refurbished items to this point, even though I buy them quite regularly.
I think most reputable companies honor their warranties on refurbished items quite well.
