You’d be forgiven for thinking you always have to buy brand new to get the best deals on excellent tech. Believe it or not, there are some great factory refurbished laptop deals, and they’re just as worthy of your time and money, especially if you need a new system for school.

Blairtech is offering the Lenovo ThinkPad T460s Laptop, certified refurbished, for $380 to $440 depending upon what internal hardware you choose. The ThinkPad 460s with a 14-inch display, 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB of RAM, 256GB solid-state drive, and Windows 10 Home is $380, for instance. That includes free shipping!

What does the term “refurbished” actually mean? You can read about it in more detail in our what, how, and where to buy refurbished guide. Essentially, it’s a blanket term that covers a lot of different scenarios, not just broken or used tech.
