Getting a new laptop can be expensive, especially if you’re looking for a powerful machine that can handle demanding workloads. One easy way to save a significant amount on your purchase is by going the refurbished route and getting a professionally inspected device.

Back Market has some of the best offers. You can currently grab the 14-inch Dell Latitude 5420 laptop (i5 Gen 11, with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage) for $438, down from $700. This offer takes $262 off the laptop, but you can save even more by trading in an older device. The exact trade-in value depends on the type/condition of the device you want to trade in. For example, an iPhone 11 can save you $125, while an iPad Air 5 can take an additional $260 off the total price.

Fully functional device

Back Market has three condition grades for each device; Fair, Good, and Excellent. This one is rated as Excellent, which means it comes in exceptional condition. There aren’t any major signs of wear on the exterior, the screen is almost spotless, and the battery is in great shape, too.

It features a Core i5 (Gen 11 G) processor, which is great for everyday use. The machine handles most regular tasks (responding to emails, streaming shows, writing research papers, learning a new basic-level skill, web browsing) without much problem. There’s 8GB of RAM that keeps everything running smoothly, even when you’re using 2-3 light programs at once. The 256GB storage is another big plus. It’s spacious enough to house all your important files, apps, photos, videos, etc with ease. And since SSDs are much faster than traditional hard drives, you will enjoy better load and transfer times too.

The display here is a modest-sized, 14-inch screen. It’s not too big, but still gives you a nice room to work, stream, and play. Additionally, the laptop is pretty lightweight, so carrying it around on a day-to-day basis is easy and convenient. Battery life is solid, and the laptop comes with a power adapter and a cable, so you won’t have to invest in a charger separately.

You can now grab it for $438 at Back Market, instead of paying the usual $700 price. Trading in an older device can save you more. The retailer is offering free shipping as well, plus free returns within 30 days if you’re not satisfied with your purchase. If you’ve been on the lookout for a good laptop that doesn’t break the bank, this deal is definitely worth considering.
