As per the title really, any recommendations for a refurbished Windows 11 laptop supplier.

Backmarket? I’ve bought all sorts from them and everything has been immaculate. Basically like new.  

Back market are safe and reliable, but comparatively expensive relative to other resellers 

It depends on what you want from a laptop. If I'm buying a cheap robust laptop that'll mainly be used for office software and browsing I look for companies who resell business machines.

Tends to be a bit of a compromise but what you lose on weight/screen colours/institutional unloveliness, you gain on less brand-driven pricing.

Horses for courses, though. 

I've bought stuff from Europc in the past. Or there's Dell...

. . . or there's Stone Refurb.

I would echo this.

I bought an old HP EliteBook (12" one) about 6 years ago. It was 6 or 7 years old when I bought it. Think I paid around £100 for it. Maybe £150, but it's still going strong. My wife bought a "better laptop" since. Better spec and brand new, but cheap. It's since become little more than a brick, no amount of re-formatting will bring it back to its as new speed, yet the old EliteBook is still going strong.

I know you've specifically asked for Windows 11, but a 5 year old EliteBook or similar off eBay (bit of risk) will likely outperform anything you buy new for double the money. You could always then upgrade the EliteBook to Windows 11 for free (I think it's free anyway, although i personally wouldn't bother, Windows 10 is fine).

I've been using microdream.co.uk for years, and the only time I had a problem (with an intermittent PSU) it was swapped out promptly. Can't fault them.

Thank you for the replies all, plenty to go at there. Now it's time to satisfice and avoid the rabbit hole of being a maximiser!

Thanks, I'll have a look, but avoiding Lenovo as it could induce post traumatic stress, dredging up memories from a previous life where it was the laptop of choice for my employer!
