Buying a refurbished gaming laptop

A gaming laptop needs a dedicated graphics card, a high-performance processor and enough cooling to keep both running under load. A refurbished gaming laptop gives you that hardware for far less than it cost new. Every gaming laptop on this page is professionally tested, cleaned and graded, ships with genuine Microsoft Windows Professional and carries a 1-year warranty.

Check these before you buy

  • Graphics card: compare it with the minimum and recommended requirements of the games you play. Ask us to confirm the exact card in any laptop.
  • RAM: 16GB suits most games; a memory upgrade is the cheapest way to add more.
  • Storage: games are large, so make sure the SSD has room for your library, or ask us to quote a larger one.
  • Battery: gaming laptops perform best plugged in, so treat battery life as a bonus for travel rather than for gaming sessions.

Gaming laptop, workstation or desktop?

If you need a laptop for CAD, 3D or design software as well, a mobile workstation with professional NVIDIA graphics may suit you better. If the machine will stay on a desk, a refurbished desktop with a graphics card gives more performance per rand; read are refurbished gaming PCs a good investment.

What makes a laptop good for gaming?

A gaming laptop is not just a fast laptop. These are the parts that decide how well games run, and what to check on each listing.

A dedicated graphics card

Games lean on the graphics card more than anything else. The Dell G5 15 5587 shipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 1060, and the G5 15 5590 with cards from the GTX 1650 up to the RTX 2060 and RTX 2070 Max-Q. Ask us which card a specific laptop has.

An H-series processor

Gaming laptops use high-performance H-series Intel processors, such as the Core i7-8750H or Core i5-9300H, rather than the low-power U-series chips in thin business laptops.

16GB of RAM and an SSD

Many current games list 16GB of RAM in their recommended requirements, and an SSD cuts loading times. Many games are large, so check the storage size against the games you play, or ask us to quote a bigger SSD.

Refurbished gaming laptops: frequently asked questions

Is a refurbished gaming laptop worth it?

It can be, if it comes from a seller who tests it properly and backs it with a warranty. A refurbished laptop with a dedicated NVIDIA graphics card costs far less than it did new. Ours are tested, cleaned and carry a 1-year warranty.

What graphics card does the Dell G5 have?

Every Dell G5 15 has a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce card. The G5 15 5587 came with a GTX 1050 Ti or GTX 1060, and the G5 15 5590 with a GTX 1650, GTX 1660 Ti, RTX 2060 or RTX 2070 Max-Q, depending on the original configuration. Ask us to confirm the card in the unit you want.

Can a refurbished gaming laptop run new games?

It depends on the game and the graphics card. Compare the game's minimum and recommended requirements with the laptop's graphics card, processor and RAM. Older and less demanding titles run well, while the newest demanding releases may need lower settings.

Gaming laptop or mobile workstation: what is the difference?

A gaming laptop has a GeForce graphics card tuned for games. A mobile workstation, such as an HP ZBook, has a professional NVIDIA card certified for CAD, 3D and design software. Workstations can run games, but you pay for certification gamers do not need.
