Q&A: Are Dell Factory Outlet Laptops Refurbished?

Question by jamesc90012: Are Dell Factory Outlet Laptops Refurbished?
I’ve found plenty of deals on the dell factory outlet website, but i need to know whether the laptops there are refurbished, as im not willing to pay £350 for a refurbished laptop (the website states that they have been returned due to change in demand/over production etc). What is the general waiting time for delivery? Thanks a lot!

Best answer:

Answer by Jake
Yes most computers on that site are factory refurbished, which means is that they were used before, the person did not want it, so it got its outer casing replaced and all parts checked so it look and runs like new.

Question by whats_my_name_again?: Will usb speakers work on my laptop when the laptop speaker and sound through headphones is not working?
I think I have blown my laptop speaker . I plugged in some old speakers into the headphone socket and they crackled a bit then died.Since then the inbuilt laptop speaker doesn’t work and can’t use headphone either as the socket stopped working at the same time.

Would speakers plugged in through usb work? as a cheap solution.

Best answer:

Answer by musicfreak97
Possibly. If its just the headphone jack that s faulty, it will work but if it is the laptop speakers, I’m not sure. As long as all the drivers are still installed, I think it should work.

Who makes designer laptop sleeves for the 11″ macbook air? I’ve searched and louis vuitton only offers a 13″?

Question by : Who makes designer laptop sleeves for the 11″ macbook air? I’ve searched and louis vuitton only offers a 13″?
I purchased a coach laptop sleeve that fits a 13″ laptop but it fits super loose and I hate the fact that there is so much room, I actually put my charger in there and it still has a ton of room on the top which makes it hard to actually carry the thing lol. I’ve searched for a louis vuitton piece but they only make it in the 13″ model and i feel as if i’ll be in the same boat. Any and all help would be great. Thanks
