I'm hoping there are some autistic computer geniuses here who can help me decide between 3 REFURBISHED laptops. I am so not a computer genius, quite the opposite.
These all cost £250 and they are from a seller I trust:
1. Dell XPS 13 L322X Core i7-3537U 2.00GHz 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD FHD Webcam Laptop
2. Dell Latitude 3550 Core i5-5200U 2.20GHz 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD Webcam HDMI Laptop
3. Dell Latitude 6430u Core i7-3687U 8GB DDR3 128GB SSD Webcam Windows 10 Laptop
EDIT- just found another candidate Dell Inspiron 15 5520 Core i5-3210M 2.50GHz 8GB Ram 500GB HDD Webcam HDMI Laptop at £220. I like the Inspiron I've got, so maybe?
I can provide the links to eBay if you want, that's where I copied those descriptions from^
What I want is a laptop to replace my current Inspiron 5558, which is really on its last legs, it's about 7 years old. I want as much RAM as possible, a screen of *at least* 13 inches, an SSD.
I do not play any games on my laptop, I mostly use it for writing in Word; going on social media; sending emails; shopping online.
Is there anyone who is able to advise me?
Thanks.
"Professionals" do it for the money, their decision isn't often the best one for an individual. The best of all laptops is the one you watched a well off relative buy 3 years ago, which has worked faultlessly for them, and then they buy a new up to date one, or the pick of the bunch form an office clearance you've done yourself.
NEW laptops are a "lottery".
If you know anyone who does a IT support role, ask them which 2-3 year old laptops stand out from the rest.
