I've been looking for a laptop lately, and although I want one that has a fairly decent spec I don't want to pay too much. I think buying laptops is a bit like buying a new car in that the second you buy one they lose a load of value. So my thinking is to either get one that has already lost value and that way I don't waste too much cash. I'm thinking either a used one or get a refurbished one. So has anyone ever got a refurb laptop and can advise on what they're like in terms of quality? Also what is meant by refurbished? Do they just run a duster over them or do they actually do anything to the inner workings/software/bios/mechanics, etc?
