In January '20 I bought a refurbished Lenovo T460 off eBay. At the time it was £200. A right piece of kit. My only specification was that it had to have a full HD screen. I have spent £60 on a genuine battery and doubled the RAM. It saw me through the lockdowns where I was working from home and running training sessions via MS Teams for up to 7 hours a day. Prices have rocketed as most folk are homeschooling etc. I'm no techie - I looked for a seller who had good feedback and read a couple of articles online.Well, my refurb Dell laptop has finally given up the ghost and I am trying to navigate on Ebay for another refurb. I am no geek so I have to research a lot to try & find what I need. Since I am no gamer nor do I watch movies on one I am relatively in the safe zone. Regardless, the fear of being "rogered roundly" is in the back of my mind.

Do you know why your refurb Dell Laptop has given up the ghost? If it's something like a hard drive failure or the RAM.
I'd recommend Lenovo and Dell ex office laptops from eBay sellers who have good after sales service.
Got my eye on one as I type.
On mine the battery has been toast and now it won't hold anything. Perhaps the connection is worn out as well. I don't want to pay for a repair as that's akin to a boob job on a 90 yr. old woman at this point.
I'm also looking Dell business laptops - do you have any experience of model types? A colleague recommended looking at the latitude series.Do you know why your refurb Dell Laptop has given up the ghost? If it's something like a hard drive failure or the RAM.

I'm sure all will be good.Well, I pulled the trigger on a refurb Dell E5520 Intel i3 2350U 1366X768 8GB. I hope it works.
