I've previously ruled out getting a second hand phone because of the battery issue. But they seem to last longer these days so I've got a second hand Pixel 6 Pro on the way. I can't possibly justify a new one! I just go straight for second hand rather than refurb - maximum risk!
I've never bought a new laptop. The one I have now is great for my needs. Cost be about £100 three years ago. Though I do have a fancy work one which I must admit to using most of the time!

How much did you pay for it? A brand new Pixel 6 Pro is only £449 at Argos right now. BARGAIN!!!
