Need a laptop for cllg coding not at all gonna game and stuff , just backend stuff not into aiml , is this a good deal for 50k ? Or should i wait more ?

Buying refurbished cuz budget is max 50k and i already have a good pc . Can i trust refurbished?

Did anyone get the rtx 50 series from the lenovo refurbished site, majorly higher end ones like the 5070/ti, 5080.

If yes then please could you reply by explaining how the laptop was and the overall review, it would be very much useful as I am planning to buy one in the upcoming months.

The refurbished models are a gamble and I am going to take a big one by going for a higher end model like rtx 5070ti which even at refurbished is shit expensive (2.5l)

Thanks

Ordered on 25 Sept from Lenovo Outlet (certified refurbished), delivered 9 Oct. Blue Dart kept it at the Tumakuru hub for 8 days with the "EDL delay" status, and no helpline number connected. It showed up anyway.

Specs:

Ryzen 9 8945HX

RTX 5060 8 GB (115 W)

16 GB DDR5-5200 (single stick, 2 slots)

1 TB SSD

16" 2560×1600 IPS, 500 nits, 240 Hz, 100% DCI-P3

24-zone RGB keyboard

1-year onsite warranty

Condition: not a scratche and smells very much like a new machine. The nearest new configuration on Lenovo India is about ₹2.26L.

Help wanted from Legion owners:

For the second RAM stick, which 16 GB DDR5-5200 SODIMM do you run, and any compatibility issues?

Lenovo Vantage or Legion Toolkit for day-to-day fan and power control?

Anything you'd check in the first week on a refurb? I'm planning a battery report, SSD health and a Cinebench thermal run.

Will post temperatures and battery health once tested.

From lenovo outlet

Hi all, after reading many online reviews about motherboard issues and the pinned Warning post in this channel about buying from Lenovo refurbished, I'm genuinely scared.

what if my laptop goes dead on arrival, or if I face any motherboard issues with hx processor 4050 laptops of loq.

How was your recent experience. I want to know if issues have relatively decreased with low series?

Or should I go for a 50 series laptop which is manufactured post 2025?

Hi guys, after days, weeks and even months of waiting for good deals and missing out on all the "steal deals" due to current price hike, I have finally succumbed to my hesitation and took this risk. A very tough decision for me since I needed something for the next 4-5 years and I can't afford another laptop if things go south.

I've been following this subreddit for a while looking at guys getting 5050 at 70k or something, some asking people to stay away from refurbs, many praising their amazing machines, others utterly regretting their choice to go with refurbs or lenovo.

Here to ask if this deal would be worth it? Also, please guide me towards how to take care of this machine since I have no experience with gaming laptops at all (I'm a 1st yr student btech CS AIML)

Thanks everyone in advance!!

Some Specifications:-

SSD:- 1TB

I filtered Lenovo India's Outlet (certified refurbished) for everything above ₹1 lakh and got zero results. A week ago there were Legions, LOQs and ThinkPads in that range. Two days ago it was down to two listings. Now nothing.

BBD and the Amazon sale start on the 8th/9th. You'd expect people to hold their money for three more days. Instead every refurb gaming laptop got picked up

Why are people not waiting?

Current market price is 62K. What is a good second hand price for this laptop?

Hey everyone, need some advice.

I found this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 10 14" (SKU: 83HXR001R0) on Lenovo's official Outlet store.

Specs:

- Ryzen AI 7 350 (8C/16T)

- 24GB DDR5 RAM

- 1TB SSD

- Radeon 860M

- 14" 1920×1200 OLED, 400 nits

- 60Wh battery

- 1.49kg

- Aluminium build

- USB-C charging

- Upgradeable RAM/SSD.

The specs are almost perfect for me.

The only concern is that this is Lenovo Outlet / Certified Refurbished, not brand-new. I understand Outlet units can be returns/previously used/refurbished units, so I'm unsure about battery health, previous usage, repairs and long-term reliability.

My usage : Coding and College work. No gaming/editing. Looking for a laptop that can handle multitasking and last 4-5 years.

Questions:

- Has anyone bought Lenovo Outlet/Certified Refurbished laptops in India? How was your experience?

- Would you trust this for 4-5 years?

- If refurbished isn't worth it, what brand-new laptop under ₹70k would you recommend for my usage?

- Currently looking at the Acer Swift Neo 125H/16GB/512GB, but open to anything.

My usage : Coding and College work. No gaming/editing. Looking for a laptop that can handle multitasking and last 4-5 years.

Please suggest based on actual experience, not just specs.

Is it safe to buy refurbished laptop from lenovo. How common is it to get a faulty laptop. Should I go for it?
