    Hey guys,
    I am on the market for a REFURBISHED Laptop for a present for my 18 year old Niece, going uni in the Sept.

    She wears glasses and wants a large screen laptop, ideally 17 inch, but can consider 15-16 as well.
    She will use some design software for Uni, but I don't think is very demanding.

    Priorities:

    - Large screen
    - Excellent Screen - ideally 4k, but 1080 also fine
    - Ok Battery - not priority, will mostly be on a desk.
    - Ideally mostly metal body
    - i5/i7 or R5 R7 ideally not the U models
    - At least 16gb RAM ( 8 can be considered if upgradable )
    - At least 512GB SSD (256 can be considered if it is upgradeable)
    - Trackpakd and keyboard not priority, as long as they work.
    - Ports - no particular preferences, have dongles for that.
    - Condition - Good to Excellent. Fair condition only if it will not affect screen and funcionallity.
    - Warranty at least 3 months.
    - GPU - She does NOT play games, so as long as Youtube , Netflix and Web Browsing is ok, she will be fine.
    - Budget £500-£520 delivered. REFURBISHED

    I am currently looking at XPS 15s from 2018-2019 and the likes ...

    Am I delisional or is actually duable for this budget?

    I am also looking at these websites. Is there any others that I don;t know of that I can find good deals? I am based in UK. - Kent

    Ebay
    Backmarket
    Laptops Direct
    And the awfull FaceBook Marketplace.

    As Always your help is much appreciated.
