Buying a Dell laptop refurbished means you get to save a lot of money than you would if you buy a brand new unit. Refurbished laptops are not a synonym to used laptops as there are some major differences between these 2 categories. First of all, it’s a great possibility that a refurbished laptop has never even been used. Some shoppers return laptop even if they have never turned it on. Since the return policy is sometimes in the full benefit of the customer, people return the laptop for apparently silly reasons like they don’t like the color of the lid or they don’t feel comfortable in typing on that keyboard.
When these laptops are returned to the seller or the manufacturer, they are checked by a special team of technicians to make sure there are no problems with the hardware of any other factory errors. After they passed though a special checking process, they are resold for a price which is hundreds of dollars cheaper than the original price. The manufacturer always offers another warranty period for refurbished laptops and this is a deal that you don’t get with used laptops. This warranty period offers a guarantee that the resold laptop does not have any problems and the period usually varies from 3 to 6 months.
If you want a Dell laptop refurbished, there are lots of online stores that have great offers on this kind of laptops. For instance, www.electrocomputerwarehouse.com has some pretty nice deals on Dell laptops at this moment. There just happens to be a special offer on the Dell Latitude D610 between the 16 and the 23rd of January. This laptop only costs $286. It is powered by a 1.86 GHz Intel Pentium Mobile Centrino and some 2 GB of RAM. The capacity of the hard drive is only 40 GB so if you plan on using this Dell as your primary laptop, you are probably going to need some extra disk space. The system chipset is an Intel 915 GM, 915 PM or ICH60M. it has a CD writer and DVD ROM combo which means you won’t be able to burn any DVDs, only CDs. It runs with the Windows XP Professional operating system and it has a 14.1 inch display.
The standard battery is a 6 ell lithium ion but there is also an optional 4 cell battery which is available upon request. It is a bit bulky for a 14 inch laptop as it weights 4.8 lbs with the 6 cell battery and 4.6 with the 4 cell battery. Together with the CD drive, the total weight is 5.29 lbs. If you are interested in the ports and connections of this laptop, here are the details you may find useful. This Dell Latitude has 4 USb ports, one microphone connector, one infrared sensor compatible with IrDA Standard 1.0 and 1.1, a Mini PCI card slot, stereo headphone and speakers connector, a serial 9 pin connector, a TV out plus the modem and network adapter (the Ethernet port). You also have every detail about this laptop written on the web page. It offers all the information you need like the processor address bus width, the CardBus controller, the PC card connector size, the memory module connector, details about the wireless card, the video controller, the video memory and many for.
For $319 you can buy the Dell Precision M70, an excellent cheap laptop for people that need a computer which can help them meet the basic to mainstream needs. It’s not a powerful machine, but if you are looking for an unit to surf the internet, watch a movie and work on some documents, that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get one.
Simply go to the website mentioned above and take a look at the amazing offers and specs of the Dell laptops which are on sale. It is powered by a 1.87 GHz Intel Mobile Centrino processor which is pretty old and does not offer the performance that the new Dell laptops with Intel Core 2 Duo processors offer. It has 2 GB of RAM. In fact, most of the specs are identical to the ones of the Dell Latitude D610 which we have described above. The hard drive has a capacity of 40 GB so an external hard drive would be recommended as today, 40 GB is nothing when all your files, documents, games, music, pictures, movies and applications start gathering up.
The difference with this laptop compared to the other one is that it has a 15.4 inch display which uses the WXGA Ultra Sharp Widescreen technology. This means that colors are vibrating, sharper and more beautiful and images become clearer. In case you are interested in what’s going on with the graphics card, I can tell you that this laptops’ graphics run on the nVidia Quadro FX Go 1400 with 256 MB of video memory. All the other information like the weight, system chipset and so forth are available on the website, just like in the case of the Latitude D610.
Like I said, finding cheap laptops has become very easy and you never even have to leave the house to do so. Just go online to the website we mentioned earlier in this article or check out some other different websites yourself and see what other offers you can find on Dell laptop and even on models from different manufacturers. This is how you can buy the laptop you have wanted for a long time but could never afford.
Refurbished means saving money and we all love doing that. Take your time and look though different offers as the first one you say may not be the best offer even is that’s the way it sounds. Trust the manufacturers that sell refurbished laptops as they offer warranty periods and even return policies to assure you that you are buying a quality product and not something which is going to cause trouble one month after you bought it.11
