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.

Definitely the Ideapad

Not sure if it matters, but he comes from a high-middle class family, and I come from a low-middle class family and pay for all of my college expenses.
That doesn't matter. He's already being generous by letting you borrow his laptop for the rest of the semester.
Look at sold eBay listings for that model to get a fair market value. You could probably offer a little less since you fixed it and you are roommates.
