Is a used or refurbished laptop a good investment?

I have heard that the lifespan of a laptop is much less than a desktop computer and a used laptop will not last very long. Are refurbished laptops considered as new, or used when considering how long they last?
what is the best source to buy a laptop?

The disadvantage that Notebook/laptop PCs have is that upgrades and use of generic parts are minimal bec much of those decisions were determined by the manufacturer engineers when they designed that particular model for production based on specific motherboard and CPU. Such things are not true for Desktop PCs which have greater flexibility with regard to upgrade options after production line assembly.
You can’t go wrong with Dell Notebook PCs <= visit Dell Outlet site for best deals and the reason why I recommend Dell esp for Notebook PCs is that there are hidden long-run costs that one does not initially see when you purchase a Notebook PC other than Dell, HP or IBM and later encounter difficulties or attempt buying replacement parts like a battery, or say a keyboard etc.
We own 3 Dell Notebook PCs and why I recommend DELL, HP or IBM for those living in the United States is that those 3 particular PC Notebook manufacturers literally supply all the business Notebook PCs to the major corporations and Government so replacement parts are readily available esp on EBAY at even a more reasonable price than the manufacturer website. Thus in the long run, being able to get the exact replacement part extends the life on your investment.
FYI my 1st Notebook PC was Gateway bec I couldn’t afford Dell at the time and what a mistake is was when I needed to purchase a new Notebook battery <= costly bec not readily available like Dells… and FYI I also ran into a similar problem when attempting to upgrade the memory.
Hope the Above Info Helps!
The very word "refurbished" means given new life. It’s used.
With the prices what they are now, for a few dollars more, you can get a brand new laptop at places like Walmart.
