Saving money is always a smart choice, especially when it doesn’t come at the expense of quality. Refurbished or "Open Box" computers offer an excellent way to achieve this. These are devices that have been purchased and returned for various reasons, then thoroughly inspected, tested, and restored to their factory settings. However, they come at a significantly lower price than a brand-new computer. Both Dell and Best Buy offer these options, and if you know of other reliable sources, please let me know so I can add them to the list.

When looking for a PC, remember that only Windows 11 or better (not 11 S) or Macs will work with the software we use.
