Refurbished HP Laptop

[will_i_a_m]

I am considering buying a refurbished HP laptop from Takealot - HP is the supplier.
The refurbished laptops are half the price of a new laptop. The laptop I require is an HP elitebook which has the specs required for my job.

Has anyone bought a refurbished HP laptop or know anything about it? Anything to look out for? Yay or Nay?

Thanks.

Have a look on Carbonite first. I've bought plenty of laptops on there.

How do you know HP is the supplier? Takealot is sneaky and it is most likely a 3rd party seller. Happy to be wrong. You will mostly likely also get limited warranty support.

In general there is nothing wrong with buying a refurbished item. Specially if you can still get it with warranty .

Check out https://www.nucleustech.co.za/ or Carbonite and a trusted seller.

As with all things , do your homework.

Make sure you get something 8th Gen core I or newer. 7th Gen and older generally can't update to Windows 11, unless you use a workaround. And there is no guarantee that a future update won't disable it.
Ask here if you don't know what that means.

I doubt that HP is selling directly on takealot. Scroll down on the takealot listing and look for the seller.

Hi,

Thank for everyones advice.
I found a really good deal for a brand new HP Probook 460 G11 for R17k which I bought about 2 weeks ago and am really happy with it. It's perfect for business - I consult for IT companies on retail systems - as I have no power surge issues anymore and works perfectly with my 2 external monitors.
