to consider buying a laptop from Amazon Renewed?

[PyongyangKipperbang]

I can get a much better spec than my budget (300) would normally allow for a "excellent" grade laptop.

It does have a years guarantee but obviously I am concerned that there may be issues. Tried looking for reviews but not coming up with much. Its not much money to many I am sure but its a lot for me.

I bought a Samsung laptop/tablet (it can be both but can't remember proper name) this way and it's been fab. I imagine it might be a little hit and miss cosmetically but a year's guarantee isn't bad.

I've purchased them renewed, never had an issue and save lots of money too

We always buy our iPhones/Apple Watches from Amazon Renewed.

Never a problem and we’ll never buy new again.

I buy my phones and have bought a iPad there, never had a problem.

My friend buys her iPhones from there and has been really happy with them.

Amazon are brilliant on returns, you're pretty safe.

Thank you all, I really appreciate the comments.

I will go for it!

Never heard of this but will need to replace my ancient iPhone soon, so thank you!

I bought my Thinkpad refurbished, £150 instead of £560, bargain, and it's been perfect 👌

Myself, DH & grown up DC have bought Amazon Renewed / Refurbished laptops, tablets and phones for about 8 years. Not a single problem.

Will be fine

Dell refurbished another

I bought a refurbished dell laptop from a company called Stone Refurb. My brother works in IT and recommended them. Came with a years guarantee and has been great. Was under £300

Which now were you looking at? Just asking because I want one as well but don’t know what to get!

My Surface Pro from Amazon renewed hasn’t let me down yet!

I was considering a surface pro from Amazon Renewed so thank you @Moen

A friend recommended BackMarket and I found them excellent.

I've had a couple of bits and pieces from them, and friend's family use them regularly. All seems highly satisfactory.

For Apple products buy at iOutlet. They are very reliable, and unlike Amazon, treat their workers well and pay a proper amount of UK tax.
