Should I buy a "Refurbished" XPS desktop on Amazon?

The main concern would be warranty cover and whether or not the machine has issues (hardware or software). The reputation of the seller would be of paramount concern: if the seller has a poor reputation, you'll probably end up regretting the purchase. If the seller has good ratings, you are (probably) OK but the warranty is still a concern.

You might want to compare against the Dell Outlet, which sells refurbished machines that are covered by a Dell warranty. The Amazon sellers probably won't offer such a warranty.

Here's the Outlet's list of XPS desktops:

https://outlet.us.dell.com/ARBOnlineSales/Online/InventorySearch.aspx?c=us&cs=28&l=en&s=dfb&brandid=2802&sign=PXhcOSHtr1T4IOw%2fPR7UdceCAHRHFOlcvi%2bFkbLUPJfrAfXjecZ%2b89FWYuzUs0EaGa4SgAPTL%2fxwy1KWORWNSfkETPvaor9b4xurxI4hSpgTHhDKG2rsNR2E2DV4yOOcNpshFbYdBNLrsKCBsJGQal4%2fV1%2fJWbF%2fzse4WoAYJqdbmEgxTDfypWg%2fKeeM3cMIPyyr7gGUPZvnhX74YTpnghK3Ru3aJQ5ri1YLO2ZL9CWb1rBsOFTStg%3d%3d

Ask yourself: what's the worst that could happen? If it does happen, "how much trouble will I have to go through to get it sorted?" If the answer is "too much" or "I'm not sure", you should re-consider the purchase. If the warranty does not cover a problem or is not honored, it's not much of a warranty, is it?

HTH.

October 8, 2023 - A couple of people have asked me if buying a refurbished (or renewed) computer on Amazon instead of a new one is a wise move, and my answer is “it depends”.

r/computer on Reddit: Bought a used computer on Amazon, how cautious should I be?(a few questions)
October 14, 2024 -

I bought a refurbished computer from Amazon. The seller has more than 100 review in the past month and 3000 lifetime, majority positive.

Many people suggest a fresh install with a used computer. That would be tricky for me right now. I want to be safe, but I also want to do the easiest thing to be safe.

  • if I just do a factory reset, will that make sure I have nothing in my machine that compromises it?

  • Is there realistically anything to worry about?

  • what is the easiest way to check if my purchase is compromised?
