    For an extra $200 you can get a brand new way faster laptop

    • delfredo on 30/11/2024 - 11:55

      Can you share an example please?

          Still searching for the "way faster" one…

            @Herb Utsmellz: 8650u is a quad core CPU from 2017

            @Herb Utsmellz: You're kidding right?

            The "best" laptop above is an Intel i7 8650u processer (released 3rd qtr 2017).

            Brokenkeyboard has linked 3 BRAND NEW laptops… with two of them having Intel processers released in 2023 and 2022 respectively. The AMD is from 2021.

            ALL of them have MORE THAN DOUBLE THE PROCESSING POWER of the 8650u.

            If you're "still searching" for faster, you should've gone to specsavers champ.

            Sorry OP, neg from me. These laptops are too old to be asking these prices considering what can be purchased brand new for a little bit more.

              @UFO: I feel like the appeal of these refurb models are the fact that they were business laptops. They tend to be sturdier and come with features that a lot of lower end laptops skimp on.

              Not saying that your comment around performance isn't valid though.

            • Ozzster on 11/12/2024 - 22:19

              @UFO: If I need it just for web browsing, would it be better? No. There is not always a reason to pay more if cheap is enough. Especially if extra $200 doubles the price.

              • UFO on 12/12/2024 - 10:46

                @Ozzster: A brand new laptop with double the processing power, vs a 5 year old second hand unit… and you reckon general browsing and computer use won't be noticeable? Then there's the battery life. And the serviceable life of the unit itself.

                I strongly disagree with your view, but go right ahead and "save $200". I think it's a false saving.

                • Ozzster on 12/12/2024 - 21:30

                  @UFO: There's no compute use other than the browser in my case. Paying double for placebo makes it twice more effective lol. You just have to believe lol.

                  There is no need in purchasing a laptop that will need another battery or service. First is outside of my case, second is the case for gaming devices only, i.e outside of my case again. Just buy another laptop, there's plenty of choice.

                  Hint: by the time this refurb dies, or becomes too slow for browsers, the laptops that don't exist yet will become $200 refurbished. Imagine that compute power! For the same price, but later.

    that price is nuts! … these are ancient now!

      Most companies dump their old laptops every 3–5 years, selling them in bulk crates to companies like this for pocket change. These then hire refurbishing techs for $25/hr, who “restore” them by mashing the F2/F12/Del buttons like they're trying to win a carnival game. If the laptop miraculously boots, congratulations! It's deemed "fully tested and operational.", checking BIOS, wiping hard drives, and reimaging them. If it boots without smoke, it's “good as new.” Sold as “Refurbished,” they come with polished keys, an aftermarket charger that doubles as a space heater, and a battery that lasts just long enough to disappoint you.

        I know I'm the head of an IT team… This has been the case the last 25 years lol… we send a lot of these older laptops out of lease or past their depreciation to recyclers without disks (due to compliance reasons disks need to be destroyed and cert provided separately). Most of them have issues in some way.. dead keyboards …touch pads bad screens, really bad batteries ..etc so you'd have to go through a crap tonne of them to find half decent ones…I have 4 of these at home I use for various things… All have some sort of problem. No issues with recycling or reusing old equipment, they are better than some entry level garbage but yeh the price here just doesn't match the age …10th/11th gen is probably whats mostly getting recycled now and I'd say they make a bit more sense at this price .

        • enigma48 on 11/12/2024 - 18:41

          This is a bit of an exaggeration - out of say 100 laptops, 60 staff are ok to use terrible batteries, dead keyboards etc. until they're done with the lease? This doesn't sound like any of the IT users I know of.

          When I was supporting PC/laptop fleets, we knew pretty quickly when there were "issues" (I don't like the colour, I want a _____, …) and actual issues (dead battery/keyboards). Even with friends in non-profits or businesses with tight budgets, they may have to wait many months for replacement but failures were replaced - they weren't forced to hold on for 4 years more until the lease was up.

          I've bought refurb business laptops for myself, parents, and friends. Only the mid tier or better business ones. So far: zero failures (one did lose BIOS settings once due to a bad CMOS battery 2 years into ownership).

    If half price then maybe. So for those reasons, I’m out.
