Part of the Furniture 500 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
Ive had a Dell Latitude E5550 for 5 years. Its been 100% reliable. However, its starting to physically erode (mainly the keyboard!) so I feel its time to buy another one. Also, Windows 7 is no longer supported (even though I think its the best OS ever. But thats a debate to be had for another time!).
The prices on Dell's website doesnt seem to have reduced for similar spec laptops, so Im looking at reconditioned laptops. These are much cheaper than brand new laptops. I was curious to see if anyone on here has bought a reconditioned laptop/desktop; thinsg to watch out for; best website to buy from etc...
Thanks
