The best refurbished laptop deals of the new year offers significant savings on today's best configurations. So if you're short on cash, you've come to the right place for savings. 

We're rounding up the best deals on factory refurbished coveted laptops like the Apple MacBook, Dell XPS 13, and more. 

As retailers make way for new inventory, now is a great time to score a good-as-new laptop for less. Besides discounts on factory fresh notebooks, we're also seeing considerable markdowns on open box and refurbished laptops.

If you're strapped for cash, a good refurbished laptop deal affords you a steep discount on even the priciest machines. Unlike open box deals, refurbished deals are returned to the manufacturer for repair and re-instated to like new condition.

Generally speaking, refurbished or "renewed" laptops are reconditioned to look and perform like new. They often include all the accessories that you normally get when you buy a brand new laptop. Just about the only difference is that it may arrive in generic packaging. 

Right now, we're seeing solid deals on reconditioned models of the industry's best machines. From MacBooks to the Dell XPS 13, here are the best refurbished laptop deals you can get right now.
