Which Dell refurbished latitude do I go with ?
Advice on purchasing a refurbished Dell Latitude 7400 Series laptop
Is it worth buying a refurb Latitude E7250 in 2020? (Intel i5-5300U, 256GB SSD, 8GB RAM, 1920x1080 display)
Shall I Go for a Refurbished ThinkPad/Latitude or buy a newer Laptop
The T480 is an amazing laptop and has everything under the sun one would want. Dual batteries, ram up to 64gb, windows 11 support (dual drives wouldn’t hurt for cross examination, even if you’re going Linux), and repairability through popularity (T480 is the current poster child for thinkpads). The fans are solid, that I’ve found so far. Some of the models even have dgpu.
I’ve seen the 7490 (non-E) and the texture is very weird. A dust and fingerprint magnet it definitely is, also the fan is a bit small for what it needs to push out. It also doesn’t have the dual battery capabilities. Still a fine laptop, but I believe you would enjoy the t480 more. EDIT: unless you get the aluminum one, that doesn’t attract everything to it in a five mile radius and is what we try to get clients when we order latitudes. I currently use a silver 7300.
Asus is a garbage company, with garbage morals and actions. The i3 is a bit of a letdown. Processors have stagnated for years now, might as well go with an i5 of a fairly recent generation than an underpowered i3 and regret it later.

I’m planning to buy a refurbished laptop for my personal usage, kids school and may be basic gaming for him and last for 3-4 years. Secondary requirement: A bit of personal python coding(not planning to run LLMs), if not I can use office laptop it.
I looked at these options on dellrefurbished website and can you suggest if these are good or look at other models or other place? I looked for latitude because my current office laptop is latitude 5440 and it’s been good.
Thank you.
Hi!
I am looking at some refurbished Dell Latitude 7400 series laptops. I have a budget of $450.
My primary activities would be programming based, like using Visual Studio, and running VMs for testing. My other tasks include document editing and reading research papers, and I expect the laptop to run for at least 9 to 10 hours on battery alone. The description says these laptops will have a battery health of 80% or more. However, I'm ready to replace with a new battery for a long term use.
Should I go ahead with it?
