I have been buying Dells off the refurb sight for years, This one has been through the ringer. Once died, and then I ordered a new screen from Amazon and put it back in use. Wife busted keys on hers and got a KB off ebay. but they have been solid. This one gets taken to and from work each day, Plus thrown around in the car with emergency stops because of bad drivers etc. Thus held up good.
No mater what you get back up your data. We have HPs, at work don't like them much, MS surfaces would not recommend, Have an off the wall that does dual boot, good for reader etc. but not great for other things. Hope you find something you like.
