I used to laugh at people buying refurbished laptops until I grabbed one myself

Back in 2018, I swore I'd never buy a refurbished laptop because I figured it was just someone else's broken junk. But last year my budget was tight and I needed something for basic web stuff and Netflix, so I got a Dell Latitude off a refurb site for $280. Two years later it's still running fine with no issues, battery lasts about 6 hours which is better than my buddy's brand new HP. Has anyone else had good luck with refurbs or did I just get lucky?

Got one myself about three years ago. A ThinkPad T480 for like 200 bucks. It's been through two drops and a spilled coffee and still boots up in under 15 seconds. The battery was at 80% capacity when I got it and it's only dropped to like 75% now. I'll never buy a brand new laptop again after seeing how well these business refurbs hold up.

15 seconds is crazy fast for a coffee victim lol.
