Thank you. Looks like I might check Amazon’s selection of “renewed” (refurbished) laptops again before the difference catches up. Got the Dell I’m using for $280 after it was selling new for $1200. The cool thing is that you get them in better working condition than they were out of the box plus a one-year warranty on top of the savings.
You could get a solid used Dell Latitude 5520 15.6” laptop with 11th gen Intel cpu for $140- $210 with 16gb Ram. 32Gb ram is better but hard to find due to the RAM crisis. Latitude = business class Dell. More durable than consumer level Dell Inspiron laptop that you buy at Best Buy. I have bought 4x - 5520 Latitudes in the last year.
I will go eBay and look for 32gb examples.
Prices are down after Christmas. People are tapped out. January is good month to buy electronics on eBay.
30 days returns. Seller pays for return shipping. /// has large 512gb NVMe
