Where is the best place to buy a refurbished laptop? (feddit.uk)

I'm looking to buy a laptop for things like browsing the internet, admin stuff like sorting out important documents, a little bit of software development, and other things that aren't easy to do on a phone.

I don't think I need a particularly powerful laptop for these things, so was hoping to get a cheap refurbished one. Can anyone recommend a reputable place to buy a refurbished laptop for a reasonable price? I'm hoping to spend around £200, but not sure if that's reasonable for what I'm looking for

That's a good suggestion. I have used Linux before, so I am somewhat familiar with it. Not sure if it can run MS teams though, which I might need to use as some places use them for interviews and I'm looking for a job atm

MS Teams is available on Linux as a native app on at lease Fedora and Ubuntu (and their derivatives, I haven't checked anywhere else) and it's available as a Web app on every device.

Teams has a web application. Sometimes when my native windows app breaks at work, I have to use the web interface which works nearly exactly the same.
