My XPS with Windows 10 is 6 years old and aside from the sunsetting of 10 in October of this year, it is no longer as speedy and smooth. Looking for a deal and am seeing on eBay several resellers hawking refurbished Dell Precision 3630 towers for under $400. The specs are more than adequate for my needs.
Just wanted to hear if anyone has bought one.
Please help: Advice to buy a (refurbished) Dell Laptop please: not sure between 2 models
Dell Certified Refurbished Any Good?
Experience with dell refurbished laptops?
I have purchased 4 from the outlet. All Alienware - 13r3, M15, 17r5 and M17. All PC purchases from the outlet come with the same as new warranty.
13r3 - arrived in like new condition. Battery wear at 5%. No other issues.
M15 - arrived in like new condition with exception of minor scuff mark on bezel (didn’t affect screen). Called them and they offered $50 credit. Battery wear 4%
17r5 - arrived in like new condition but had a battery wear level of 15%. Called them. They sent a whole new system next day air. New system was like new, battery wear 2% and they refunded $100
M17 - arrived like new. Battery wear 0%.
Overall experience with the outlet has been very good. They offer good coupons on already deep discounts and if you aren’t totally happy, they generally will offer and additional $50-100 to keep the system rather than return it. Or if there are issues, replace it quickly.
Or if you decide to return, you have 30 days to do so with no restocking fee.

Hi,
I am looking for a new Dell laptop within a reasonable budget (under 1000 euros/dollars). I've had great experiences with refurbished laptops and Dell in general, so going with this option again.
I will use it as my main laptop:
from work (light coding, some programming work, lots of online video work/ university meetings (i'm in a grad program), the usual web browsing (I have a bad habit of keeping 20 tabs opened....!! but my current Dell was performing really well until 6-8 months ago,),
to home computer: looots of streaming (which seems to challenge my old Dell laptop now, same with YouTube).
My current Dell is a refurbished Latitude E7450, but with Windows 10, which started overheating and shutting down if I launch a Zoom metting and keep a browser open with a couple youtube videos: I have a fan aimed at it to help (works most of the time, but defeats the purpoose of having a laptop :( I keep it on an elevated plastic surface (never on my laps, on a blanket etc..)
Between the 2, I would really like your opinion on which one is an overall better deal, which one will be faster, and will last longer. Any recommendation would be so greatly appreciated !!
Thank you so much for any advice!!

(Hopefully the link works)
or on Ebay (never purchased a laptop on Ebay- the seller does have good reviews, but the warranty is only 30 days... which I'm willing to risk since the vendor has such great reviews (98% satisfied on more than 7000 sales):
