I would never, ever, ever consider, nor recommend purchasing a refurbished laptop, or any computer or peripheral.
Reliable and computer is a relative term. You can have it fast, cheap or inexpensive, but you can only pick 2 of these.
PC windows is probably the most versatile, but the MAC is probably better in some regards like video editing.
Mac is more expensive, but most MAC users swear by them.
MAC is more expensive to upgrade, but my experience is, unless you upgrade in the first year, it’s not worth it to upgrade. You can most likely get what you want from the upgrade and more with a new purchase for just about the same cost.
cheap or inexpensive
Wow....that was intelligent.
Fast cheap or good is what I meant.
Thank you. I don’t believe we’d be able to upgrade a Mac or replace it. It would seem more financially practical to purchase a Dell and upgrade to a newer model. What do you think?
I have purchased refurbished computers and they have all been excellent and 60 to 75% the price of a new one. They also have a full warranty. You wouldn’t even know that they were refurbished.
