Thoughts on buying refurbished/ used towers, and laptops? I have a home PC, but need something portable (Looking at 11" and 13") to run an HVAC control program for work. Been looking at Dell Inspiron and ThinkPads cause of /g/, but kind of want a 2 in 1, since I don't type much at all. The extra portability actually comes in handy in my trade.
Anyways, what you guys think of buying refurbished laptops?
What you guys think of the Dell Inspiron 13" 2 in 1
THIS to be exact>>>>>>
Inspiron 13-7353 Intel Core i5-6200U X2 2.3GHz 8GB 128GB SSD 13.3"
>2 in 1
Get a CF-19.
No refurbishing needed since they're indestructible, great battery life, practical, and dirt cheap secondhand.

Wow thanks! I will look into this. However I'm not certain whether it looks like a childrens computer, or a bitchin' military device for controlling drones

Buy Business/Military grade laptop/tower. It's unsafe buy a disposable electronic devices like most consumer devices.
If you don't want business laptops. refurbished Laptops from Apple can be repair.
Also if you want 2-1, buy theses.

This is their laptop model, I have the older version and it's a tank. Even the "semi rugged" models are robust enough to withstand more than a laptop should be expected to.

Biggest test for me. Can it stay in the tool bins of a work truck in 110 degree Arizona heat, where the inside of the metal bins probably get to 150*??
>>54383822
Yes, it has all sorts of high/low heat protection. I've held a propane torch to mine with no ill effects or scorching. The case is made of metal too so it won't deform.
>>54383822
do you think it gets hot enough in your tool box to bubble metal?
>>54383862
>Implying that heat can't fuck up other parts

they probably had someone's cum all over them

Is that lying so that the keyboard is face down on the table?
Seems like a great way to get drink spills into your keyboard.

look up milspec certifications
even your average thinkpad or elitebook should be able to withstand that
otherwise store it outside of the toolbox because you aren't retarded

I have an older version of this (used an i5-4210U) and bought it as a refurb
swapped out the HDD for an SSD and have had no problems since.
be wary of 2 in 1 issues with ribbon cables in the hinges though
