Is it worth buying a "renewed" laptop on Amazon? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone have any experience with this? It would save me a lot of money but I also don't want to flush it down the toilet.

There are some decent looking ones on woot. I might get one. They have the same models regularly so some consistency of supply.

I've bought tons of used laptops over the years and done fine. Mostly thinkpads.

Also there are some very good black Friday deals for new laptops. Try best buy (today only) and Costco) through December). This intrigues me:

Black Friday price is $550 for those reading later.

Good ideas too, I just have Amazon gift cards so it would basically be free is why I ask.

I wonder if you can use the cards on woot.

Hmm no idea.
