Any second-hand business class laptop, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.
Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they're still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.
Refurbs FTW! I scored a lot of good (but not cutting edge) electronics back in the heyday of TigerDirect.
Where's a good place/website (in the US) to buy used business laptops that are being disposed due to tech refreshes?
Don't really know about the US, sorry. eBay might be a good place though.
It generally is. Just make sure to know what model you want, and to make sure that the bios isn't locked (computrace basically bricks them if enabled).
