I run a business that is computer heavy.... signs and graphics, and buy from these guys exclusively. Refurbished off lease, fairly late model computers of all kinds... desktop, laptop, pads, etc. with a standard dell warranty. I've probably bought 10 of them of various sizes and types, with no issues.

Also, they occasionally send out specials via email, up to like 45% off of their already reasonable prices. I just purchased a laptop, i7 processor, 8 gig of ram, 256 gig SSD (solid state drive), with the Columbus Day discount, I think it was $260.

I wholeheartedly endorse them for what you're looking for.
