Is it worth buying a "renewed" laptop on Amazon?

Does anyone have any experience with this? It would save me a lot of money but I also don’t want to flush it down the toilet.

We have a traditional store reselling refurbished laptops in my city. They’re pretty awesome and I got a nice Dell laptop from them. 100% recommend. But I don’t know what Amazon does.

With my laptop, the battery is old. It has like 40% of capacity left and turns off after 2h. But it’s plenty fast and was cheap. And I got to look at the details before buying.

We do have a very good store as well. I should also look there. My tower seems ok but is 12 years old so I’m mulling it over. I simply need it for work.
