Bought a Dell Latitude with 6th gen Intel CPU, come with 8gb Ram, 256GB NVME SSD, touchscreen and weighted around 1.3kg. Seller also replaced new battery before selling. Damage RM1.5k. Worth the price?

is it ok to buy refurbished laptops?

i am planning to buy a side laptop , my core laptop is to put at home and this one is to put at office to use when i am bored ( cant do personal stuff on company pc )

so its not important i get a super powerful expensive one.

i've seen the prices and its unbelievably cheap , if get longer warranty should be ok right?

just check Cinebench and Passmark before making a purchase
so you get to make an informed decision.

"i5" and "i7" means very little

here is an "i7" in 2021 losing to the i3 from 2022

I will rather not unless it's business laptops, there are many affordable brands for new laptops like acer, asus, etc... always go for new if possible (and they have warranty too which is better).
