I have asked advice about a few refurbished laptops and people keep telling me not to pay more than 50 -100 pounds for them. I’ve searched everywhere on the internet and even the really old rubbish ones are selling at over 130 pounds so where am I supposed to find these cheap refurbished laptops that people wouldn’t pay more than 100 pounds for?
Not one under 205 pounds on that overstock page.
DSGI Group, the owners of Dixons, Currys, PC World, etc do refurbished laptops which are excellent quality products. They’re only refurbished in that, they were sold to a customer, the customer took the laptop out of it’s box, didn’t like it and wanted to return it or found a minor fault and returned it to the shop. The laptop was checked, repaired, repackaged and now being sold as a refurbished laptop. I have purchased two refurbished HP’s from PC World and both have been great.
On the Dixons web site, click on Computing > Refurbished Computing > Refurbished Laptops
http://www.dixons.co.uk
Prices start from around £199.00 but some models are sold out.
Alternatively I used Google Shopping (Froogle) to find refurb laptops.
To do this, go to the Google Shopping site:
http://www.froogle.co.uk
http://www.google.co.uk/products
Type in refurbished laptops and click Search.
In the results, select "Sort by Price" on the right hand side, then scroll through the pages until you see the laptops for sale.
The cheapest laptop I saw was £135.00.
It’s important to make sure you read up on the seller of the laptops. Google conveniently suppies a "Seller Rating" to help you read up on the seller. Avoid buying from Ebay.
Hope it helps.
