How much cheaper is refurbished vs new?

Refurbished laptops typically cost 40 to 60% less than the equivalent new model, and sometimes more on premium business machines. A laptop that sold for Rs 80,000 to Rs 1,00,000 new can be available refurbished in roughly the Rs 30,000 to Rs 45,000 range, depending on age, configuration and cosmetic grade. The saving is largest on high-end business and professional models (ThinkPad, Latitude, EliteBook, MacBook), because they depreciate fast on paper while their build quality and performance stay strong, exactly the value gap refurbished captures. You are paying for a slightly older generation and some prior use, not for lower quality. To make sure the discount is real and not a red flag, buy certified: a genuine seller pairs the lower price with testing, a warranty and a proper invoice. At Edify the saving comes with a 31-category Final Quality Check, a 12-month warranty and a GST invoice, so cheaper does not mean riskier.
