I am absolutely flabbergasted how cheap this machine was relative to its quality. It looks almost brand new. We opted for the excellent condition option which is 100% true to the word. 💯 The only visible blemish is a tiny hairline in the underside. The keyboard feels new and has not a single polished key from use. Battery lasts for days as it sits on the counter and gets light use throughout the week. The machine itself does the job 8gb of ram and an i5 is plenty for a Chromebook but should last the family a few solid years. The only minor, and not a huge deal are the speakers, they are a bit weak. With the advances in small tech even small speakers are relatively cheap these days, so a bit shocked when I heard them for the first time. Chime in Zoolander scene, are these speakers for ants? 😆 Overall, impressed and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

Pleasantly surprised at the quality of this refurb. I've had bad luck with refurbs purchased elsewhere in the past but everything I've tested on this unit works fine and it looks brand new. the only way you could tell it's a refurb is somebody dropped a couple of food crumbs in the keyboard. Easily fixed. 😅 I would definitely do business here again. Thank you!

My daughter loves this laptop! It’s convenient for her because it can be either a laptop or a tablet depending on what she needs and when she found the built in stylus/pen that it comes with she was ecstatic. It’s like everything she needs in one device. Plus upon set up it walked her through what preloaded apps she wanted to have installed which she loved. This was a great deal and it looks and performs like it’s brand new. This site is amazing and I appreciate the quick and knowledgeable feedback and support I’ve received in the past.

The laptop works. The 45 watt charger it came with does not work so well. It looks like the charger wire has a loose connection because the laptop charge light turns on and off. The charger is USBC, so this is not a problem. The laptop can charge with any USBC phone charger. Remember, phone chargers are not all the same. Phone chargers with lower voltage will charge the laptop slower, and phone chargers with higher voltage will charge the laptop faster.

Overall love the Chromebook. Has a fingerprint reader Lightweight runs applications well. For what I purchased it for it work great. Battery life isn’t bad as long as you not using excessive apps and all that but as far as I can tell it works great love it better than I expected. I use it to write and study so for that it works great tablet style works well the touchscreen is great as well for easy clicking rather than using keypad.

Black Friday Chromebook deals: refurbished laptops that skip the "new" markup

Here's the deal: a refurbished Chromebook from Acer, Asus, Lenovo, HP or Samsung does the exact same job as a brand new one, minus the brand new price tag. ChromeOS means faster boots, fewer updates to babysit, and a browser-first experience built for the cloud instead of a hard drive. From November 1st, watch for extra Black Friday deals and promotions on the Black Friday event page, stacked right on top of that everyday value.

Three things worth checking before you buy

Not every Chromebook is built for the same job, so match the spec sheet to your day.

RAM: 4GB covers everyday browsing and streaming, 8GB handles heavier multitasking without choking on tabs.
Screen size: 11 to 13 inches for backpack life, 14 inches or more if you want extra room at a desk.
Battery: look for an all-day rating if the charger is staying home.
Ports: some models pack USB-C fast charging, others keep it simple to save you money.
The Acer Chromebook Spin 714 is one refurbished pick worth comparing spec for spec against newer releases.

Still team Windows? Compare the rest of the lineup

If ChromeOS isn't the right fit, the full Black Friday Laptop deals lineup covers Windows machines too, alongside Black Friday Gaming Laptop deals, Black Friday Lenovo deals, Black Friday Dell deals and Black Friday Asus deals. Whichever OS wins, refurbished means the same performance for less money spent. Compare specs, compare prices, then pick whichever keeps more cash in your pocket this Black Friday.
