I found 10 great refurbished PC tech deals from the Amazon Renewed Store

Black Friday season offers great deals on just about everything, but you'll have to look for the real deals. Wheat among the chaff, gold among the garbage. Small dark rye chips among the Chex Mix. That goes double for Amazon's revamped store, where refurbished items are sold at even deeper discounts. But I found them.

Here are 10 great refurbished laptops, monitors, and other PC accessories I spotted on Amazon Renewed. Keep in mind that since these are refurbished (“refurbished” according to Amazon) items, supplies are much more limited than items that are typically sold. so they can disappear quickly. Amazon Updated Products Comes with a 90-day warrantybut for some Premium products the return period is 365 days.

Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 Laptop – $303

I love a good ThinkPad, as does every IT manager I've ever met. These laptops are known for their quality keyboards, rugged construction, and good repairability of components. Especially the T-series. known as workhorses. It has an older 10th-gen Intel i5 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD, which is more than enough to handle everything you might use in Windows 11 except high-quality media creation and gaming. And he also has tons ports, including USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet and MicroSD. If you want a computer that has everything you need and nothing you don't, this is it.

Dell Latitude 5420 Business Laptop – $250.00.

This model is Dell It's slightly newer and slightly cheaper than the ThinkPad above, features an 11th-gen Core i5 processor, identical 16GB of RAM, but a smaller 256GB SSD. (You can probably upgrade if you're handy with a screwdriver.) The 14-inch screen isn't impressive, but it does have an IR camera for Windows Hello facial scanning login, and again, it has a lot of ports. That's about as much as you can get for a Windows laptop powerful enough to handle a lot of web browsing and video watching without using it completely.

MSI 27″ IPS QHD 170Hz Gaming Monitor – $166.00.

If you want something less pompous, this MSI gaming monitor It's a great upgrade over the standard screen and great value for money. 1440p is enough of a boost to make the 27-inch screen look sharp, and the IPS panel has much more accurate color reproduction than VA. 170Hz is sufficient for online multiplayer gaming, even if it's not cutting-edge. And you even get USB-C video, although keep in mind that 15W of power is only enough to support a phone or tablet over a single cable, not a laptop.

Razer BlackWidow V4 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 75% – $76 USD

I'm not a huge fan of Razer keyboards, but even I have to admit they knocked it out of the park with Black Widow V4. The 75% form factor is ideal for saving space on your gaming desk, the included tactile switches are great for both gaming and typing, and you can replace them if you find something better. It feels great thanks to tons of internal sound deadening. Even the included wrist rest (not included in any gaming design) is nice and comfortable. Razer puts a high price on almost everything, but at just over $76, this device gets it right.

Logitech 4K Pro Webcam – $70.00.

A good webcam is absolutely essential for working from home, and no, the one on your laptop is not enough. Upgrade to this model is Logitech for a 4K video sensor with excellent color reproduction, and a magnetic mount that can be easily attached even to monitors in portrait mode. The included two-way microphones are also good, although you'll definitely need a dedicated microphone for professional recording.

Logitech M705 Marathon Mouse – $19.00.

I used this particular mouse model for years of travel and at just $19, it's a steal. With two AA batteries it will last for three years – yes, years – regular use. It's also amazingly usable, with excellent scrolling speeds and horizontal scrolling on the wheel. There's just one downside: although it's wireless, it doesn't have Bluetooth, so make sure you have an open USB-A port for the dongle.
