[Open Discussion] Do you buy refurbished tech?
I haven't bought a new laptop or phone in years. Mainly because when I upgrade, I buy a refurbished device.
With bills spiralling for everyone, I can’t figure out why more people don’t do this. Based on my number I’ve saved £400 on my last two upgrades!
I usually opt for the best conditions refurbished devices (Most retailers offer devices in varying conditions). Each time I’ve received a new device. My last one even came in the original retail box.
I compiled a list of tech and potential savings buying refurbished below. Hope it’s helpful:

Does anyone else know of some decent places to locate refurbished tech or do you always buy new?
I’ve also attached a picture of the refurbished MacBook Pro 2020 I bought recently. It’s new and saved me £300
