Do you have experience with refurbished notebooks especially from the AfB shop? I'm considering buying a used Lenovo ThinkPad because I personally think that it is more durable. I actually only need it to work for Office (Word, Excel Powerpoint etc.)
For example, what do you think of this:

The Lenovo T-series is very good, but I find this a little too expensive. Use a Panasonic Toughbook, which is a bit older, has about the same features (except for the CPU) and only cost 300 euro. And the new price was definitely higher than that of this Lenovo ^^
But if the devices are well tested and the necessary repairs are made clean, there's nothing to be said against a refurbished device.
You have experience with refurbished notebooks
Yes
especially from the AfB shop?
No

I can only recommend it if you get a reasonably modern one (with 8GB RAM and SSD).
For example, what do you think of this:
somewhat expensive and only a 768p screen
Makes a good impression. I bought a refurbished thinkpad on ebay and am very satisfied with it.
Yes, I have experience with refurbished notebooks, especially from Lenovo, Panasonic, and Dell.
This is the first time I have heard of AfB - Shop.
For office and some internet you can buy a completely new laptop for the price that AfB demands, with a clear conscience.
For less, I got a better, bigger, and stronger Lenovo ThinPad W540.
I bought a refurbished X230 with 8 GB RAM, SSD and Win10 Pro for 200 euro and I'm very satisfied. Instead of ordering it online, I picked it up on site because I was able to assess the optical condition directly. It was a different shop.
And which?
Which shop? VB computers.
