With the average laptop price having come down so much over recent years, there are those who question whether or not there really is any sense in buying refurbished Dell laptops. These can undoubtedly be some of the cheapest laptops on the market, but is it really worth buying an essentially second hand machine if brand new machines are coming down in price all the time?

Well, the simple answer is yes! But it all comes down to a few necessary checks to make and boxes to tick before making a purchase. The reason being that it is perfectly possible to take home a high quality refurbished laptop with spectacular savings over its original purchase price and pretty much no downside to the deal. It’s simply a case of taking the following into account and making sure you understand where you stand.

Cosmetic Damage
For example, many refurbished laptops are supplied with a certain amount of very minor cosmetic damage to their exteriors. These tend to be minor scratches and scuffs that in no way affect the performance of the machine itself, though admittedly have a tendency to put some people off. Before buying, be sure to take a look into what the seller says with regard to cosmetic damage.

Warranties
It is extremely rare to find a retailer these days selling refurbished laptops which still come with the same extensive warranties you would expect if you were to buy a brand new laptop. Nevertheless, it should always be sold with at least some kind of warranty that at least covers your purchase for a matter of months or perhaps a year. Warranty will always drive the price of the sale up, so it’s a case of deciding where your priorities lie.

Authorised Resellers
Last but not least, it’s always advisable to buy from a registered and established reseller that has been in business for quite some time and is something of a market leader. It’s one thing for an authorised reseller with outstanding talents and experience to refurbish a machine – it’s another thing entirely for someone with no experience or track record to simply have a go of polishing up an old computer.
