[Shop-talk] refurbished/reconditioned computers

[Jack Brooks]

John,

We bought refurbed i7 laptops directly from Dell and have been happy so far. Unfortunately, while they were current years ago when we bought them, they don’t currently qualify for WIN11, so we are discussion our options too.  We will likely buy new now, better financial situation, but it’s a tough decision. They had a nice discount and came with a Win-Pro level OS.

 I've decided to replace my old laptop I asked about a week or so ago with a SFF desktop.  Since it's the shop box
I'm gonna upgrade my Dell Optiplex 990 in the house with a newer/faster one and move the house one to the garage

EVERYONE sells refurbs... Amazon, Ebay, etc... Anyone have experience with refurbs and a reputable dealers you've used??

also from what I read  an I5 core is better for normal stuff than an I7 (unless you're gaming or doing high end graphics...ideas on that ???
thanks
john
