Buying a refurbished laptop
When buying a pricey new laptop doesn’t make sense for your budget, consider the benefits of a
refurbished laptop. A refurbished laptop is a used computer laptop that has been restored to excellent
quality workmanships standards. At Dell Refurbished, we refurbish laptops in a comprehensive process
that includes meticulous repairs, equipment replacements, quality testing, and multiple
inspections. While our refurbished laptops and notebooks
may have some cosmetic imperfections, these minor scratches and blemishes will not affect the device's
performance.
Why buy a refurbished laptop?
When you purchase a refurbished laptop from Dell, you’ll enjoy many benefits over purchasing a new laptop
or notebook computer.
- Cost savings: While a refurbished laptop typically won’t have all the bells and
whistles or the latest generation hardware, it will offer excellent performance at a very affordable
price.
- A sustainable option: Refurbishing computers extends the lifecycle of tech
equipment, providing a sustainable alternative and helping reduce thousands of tons of waste in
landfills annually.
- The same warranty: When you buy a refurbished laptop directly from Dell, you’ll get
the same limited hardware warranty and service you would get with a new computer. Buying
manufacturer refurbished, manufactured sold means that you’re receiving a computer that was vetted
by the same company that built it originally.
- A road-tested device: Since refurbished models have been around a while, you’ll
find many user reviews that will give you a better idea of what to expect from your purchase.

What’s the difference between refurbished, used, and off-lease?
“Refurbished” means that the product has gone through a
comprehensive process of repair, replacement, and testing to restore it to a standard of
performance and quality. In contrast, “used” means that a device has been previously owned and
operated and is typically sold “as-is,” with no guarantee that the product will function at a
certain standard. “Off-lease” means that a commercial or business customer leased the equipment
– usually for 2 to 4 years – and then returned for refurbishment and resale.
Do Dell refurbished laptops come with a warranty?
Yes. We offer a 100-day limited warranty covering
defects in materials and artistry in the hardware parts—view the

days. Learn

Are refurbished laptops safe and reliable?
