Excellent value in a refurbished laptop

If anyone is reading this because they are hesitating to buy a refurbished laptop, I hope this review provides some reassurance. My laptop (purchased for me by my employer) arrived in pristine condition. If I wasn't aware that it was refurbished, I would never have guessed that it wasn't new. I have had it for almost eight months and have experienced no problems.
I mainly use this laptop for research and writing, but will also stream audio and video on occasion or download files. Not once have I experienced lags or freezes, even with large data files, even with banner ads, and even when I have (arguably) left too many tabs and programs open at once. The processor is fast and I love having tons of memory. I can count on my laptop to do its job when I need it to!
Thanks to a Bang & Olufsen display, images are sharp, and the sound is nice and clear too. Windows 11 is a bit different from what I used before (Windows 7), but is about equally intuitive and functional for my purposes. A charge cord was included. I almost never unplug my laptop, but I was able to use it for about 8-10 hours when it accidentally got disconnected and I didn't notice.
The only drawback is that this smaller laptop doesn't have a built-in alphanumeric keypad (which I use for diacritical marks when I write in languages other than English and for data entry). However, you can get an external one that is wireless or connects with a USB if you need one.
Essentially, I am happy with this laptop and would recommend buying a refurbished laptop from Best Buy with no qualms. The quality and value are excellent and I am very happy to have gotten such a good machine on a more modest budget.

Good laptop. It has functioned well for all of my academic needs so far. Refurbished excellently. The refurbishing job was done so well that you could have told me that it was brand new, and I would have believed you.

DON'T BUY REFURBISHED

DO NOT BUY REFURBISHED! I bought a refurbished HP EliteBook 14" from Best Buy. The company that refurbishes the laptop is Joy Systems. I was not able to complete the setup process of the laptop because it required "a work or school" account. I contacted Joy Systems and they sent me a flash drive to reinstall Windows. That didn't work so they told me to return it. I brought it to the Geek Squad and they said that Best Buy isn't even supposed to sell refurbished laptops to the general public. Ha! So I had to return it. I will say that Joy Systems customer service was very good, even though they couldn't solve my problem and told me to return the laptop.
