Have seen reference on similar threads to refurb. laptops from the likes of laptops direct & there are a couple of machines on adverts.ie that might fit the bill. Is there anything specific I should look out for if choosing the "not quite new" option?

All sggestions very gratefully received as I really need to sort this this week.

Cheers
