I wouldn't buy a refurbished (rubbish) laptop in 2022.

Now that supply chain issues have been resolved,
you can pick up a NEW laptop that
performs similar or vastly superior to refurbished "i7" laptop

Not to mention there are many new technologies such as:
1. Fast Charging
(get 80% battery charge that lasts 6-8 hours of usage)

2. Noise Cancellation
(remove your mic background noise)

3. High Refresh screen (120hz)
Vibrant colors LED screen (IPS Panel instead of old LCD)




If you can spend the extra,
this Dell i3 (12th generation) laptop performance will last you years.

Might want to do some research before giving advice...

7th Gen and 8th Gen i5
doesn't come with 1 Year Dell/HP/Lenovo onsite warranty
doesn't come with the latest tech (Fast Charging)

But performs slower/around a Pentium 7505

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
