My coworker Jen showed me her Galaxy S21 from Backmarket that she paid $280 for 8 months ago. She dropped it twice and it still runs like new. I always thought refurbished meant beat up junk but she sent me the seller's rating and 90 day warranty link. Has anyone else had good luck with refurbished flagships?
Found both on Craigslist from the same seller in Portland. The ThinkPad was older but had that legendary keyboard I keep hearing about. The Dell was newer with a better screen and thinner design. I went with the Dell because I figured it would handle web browsing and YouTube better for my kids. Three days in and the battery only lasts about an hour on a full charge. The seller said it was 'good' condition but didnt mention the battery was basically shot. Now I'm wondering if I should have grabbed the ThinkPad and just thrown an SSD in it. Has anyone else gambled on a laptop with a worn out battery and regretted it?
I was at a diner last week and my buddy kept complaining about his brand new tablet being slow already. I told him I just picked up a 2018 iPad Pro from a pawn shop for $250 and it runs circles around his. Why do people act like anything older than 2 years is e-waste?
