Common questions

Is a refurbished business laptop better than a new laptop for $500?
Often, yes. At $500 a new laptop is usually a consumer model with a plastic chassis and an entry-level processor. A refurbished ThinkPad, Latitude or Precision at the same price was built for corporate fleets: a stronger chassis, a better keyboard, more ports, and typically a faster processor and more memory. Ours are tested, come with Windows 11 Pro and carry a 1-year warranty.
What is the best laptop under $500 for working from home?
For calls and documents all day, a Dell Latitude 5320 or 7330 (13.3-inch and light) or a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 (14-inch, about 2.5 lb). For spreadsheets on a bigger screen, a Lenovo ThinkBook 15 G2 or G4.
What is the difference between Dell Latitude and Dell Precision?
Latitude is Dell's business laptop line: light, durable and built for office work. Precision is Dell's workstation line: more powerful processors and more memory headroom, in a larger and heavier chassis.
What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B?
Grade A laptops show at most minor cosmetic wear, such as light scuffs on the lid. Grade B laptops are marked "Grade B" in the title and have visible scratches or scuffs; they work exactly the same, cost less and carry the same warranty. Every grade is fully tested.
What warranty and return policy do I get?
Every laptop comes with a 1-year hardware warranty, free FedEx 2-day shipping in the US and 30-day returns.
