Hi, I am looking to buy a laptop from Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace for work purpose. I am getting an XPS 13 9350 with 16gb of RAM and 512gb SSD for $1k. Is this a good deal?
Also, I live in Nunawading, so COVID 19 restrictions doesn't allow me to go far. I request the kind OZbargainers to help me in finding a good deal. My budget is Max $1000. Many thanks!
Thank you for your reply, kind Sir. Could you please suggest something? How are these laptops?

what are you wanting a new laptop to do?? what are you going to use it for?
It's for my sis. And she's gonna use it just for her office work.
If you are using it for work I'd suggest a Lenovo Thinkpad. Built like a tank.
If you are going for a refurb you can find a reputable computer shop on Ebay and buy an older version Lenovo T or X series. Only suggestion is to get an Intel 8th generation i5 chip as they are quad core, anything before 8th was only dual core.
100% agree.
Picked up an ex consultant's lenovo carbon x1 gen 3 for $300 (these generally go for 400-500) and tbh the build quality and battery life are amazing. For basic office work the Lenovo Thinkpads are the go to in the second hand market. Cheap and reliable.
don't buy it - spend >$1000 and get new with warranty
Thanks mate. I am looking 13-14' laptop.
Since you are after Dell, wait sometime for this deal to come back.
20% off deals keep coming

Brand new will be worth it, go used only if there is warranty left and that too through ebay
I believe he/she had looked at it before he/she posting it. . š
I am the same guy who posted it :p
Some will be sir, others just mate. C'est la vie.
if you havent bought yet, here is another one but this has less RAM
I, personally, wouldn't buy a second hand laptop from Gumtree or FB for 1K, irrespective of specs. $1000 is a lot to lose if you are sold a lemon.
I'd also say you could get something better than a 6560U for 1K brand new.
