10 Laptops That Are Worth Buying Used

2. Dell XPS Series

Think of the Dell XPS 13 as the MacBook Air of the Windows world — clean design, metal body, and top-notch build quality. It’s compact, powerful, and feels premium. Even older models with Intel Core i5 or i7 chips can easily handle day-to-day tasks like office work, web browsing, and video calls.

It’s not built for gaming or 4K video editing — there's no dedicated GPU — but for productivity? It's excellent. If you need a bit more screen real estate, the Dell XPS 15 offers similar perks in a larger form. Used XPS models a few generations old still perform like champs, especially for folks who want something light, reliable, and elegant.
