Refurbished

The less moving pieces in a refurbished unit, the better chance it'll last a long time like a new unit I'd say.

Would you suggest to avoid HDDs? What about these factory certified refurbs?

Just came up when I typed refurbished electronics

Yes, I've seen that in a couple of shitty South American countries, namely Peru and Boliva. They have a plastic tub full of juice and they fill little plastic bags with it.

Laptops should be good, provided you go for a model line that has a track record of business use. They're made to be reliable and repairable, and there are plenty of spares and expertise available.
And if you do come upon a lemon and can't return it, you can easily get the parts to repair it by yourself, or just sell it for parts.
It's a much better deal than a new computer, and sometimes they literally don't make them like they used to.

This
Bought my D830 for $30 and use it as my primary business/travel laptop. It's great and upgradable

There's a few flea markets here and there that are worthy enough of spending some shekels.

I bought a hyundai HTSP850 set of speakers for aroud 7 USD and works and sounds perfect 2 months ago.

I also bought years ago a Japanese Game Cube for les than 20 USD (this was when the GC was cutting edge around 12 years ago) the laser was bad but i replaced it...played a bunch of games there.

I also bough in mid febraury a Clarion EQS744 equalizer, its currenlty installed in my car...shit was 1 or 2 USD because it had no cables and the seller didn't know if it worked.

Precisely this night theres a flea market i have gone only one time...but i saw a guy with a bunch of audio hardware and i thinkg i saw one of those Sony recivers with HDD and a touchscreen...also some retro looking receivers...if this thread is up i would gladly post the findings.

im about to drop 800 burgerpoints on a refurb xps 13.
is ebay a reliable reseller?

I just can't imagine using a used laptop.

All those oily fingers on the keys...

And that shit leaves a mark and seeps in you can't undo it...

If the laptop is dirt cheap a new keyboard and even a touchpad would be nice.

I started to buy refurbished a couple of years ago because i can get mid-high end stuff at low prices, my thinkpad and phone are still going strong.

Unless it's something like a mouse, keyboard or headphones/earphones of course.

What's wrong with that faggot?

manufacturer refurbished is great
they almost always replace all the externals so it feels brand spanking new

"seller refurbished" obviously just means someone sprayed some cleaner on a well worn thing with 10 dead pixels

"refurbished" is just used electronics that's been cleaned up at the shop.

>>57078330

often times they are unused and returned to the manufacturer, then sold as refurbished

Just bought an Asus 970 mobo, AMD FX 8320, and 8gb of corsair ddr3 for $120 shipped. I loves getting used hardware from tech forums, good honest enthusiasts who care for their hardware.
