    There's a supplier called Portableuniverse (Google will find them) that sell new and refurbished laptops. All their refurbs have a 1 year warranty and a 7 day cooling off period if you change your mind.

    Beware though as I'm sure the prices quoted are excl VAT.

    No, but cheaper than normal, which I guess is what the OP was after? :cool:

    Bigpockets sell refurb laptops.

    I have an IBM Thinkpad from them. Very pleased.

    In their refurbished range, they currently appear to have six Thinkpad models, seven Toshiba models and three Sony models.

    Not very good value though. Perhaps if you have less than £200 to spend. But the rest is relatively overpriced.

    I just bought a refurb off laptopsdirect and I'm very happy with it. Dabs also do used stock.
