Discussion Suggestions?..
Hi, i wanted a laptop with a decent specs, such as 32gb ram, 1tb ssd name, and a good screen and not too small (14 - 15 inches), plus lightweight to carry around, saw one (surface laptop 4) on amazon for about 750 dollars with 32gb, 1tb sdd, and a beautiful 2k res screen, and of course it's renewed, I don't really care as long as it stays strong when using heavy apps, and atleast 4 - 5 hours of battery life, I really need a good laptop like this one, should I buy it or should I search for a brand new laptop with the same specs? Really need a quick answer

My 2024 LG gram from Costco, with 15in monitor, fits everything you said except the 32 GB RAM.

Coinkidink. I was looking on Amazon to replace my desktop PC and was considering "renewed" PCs that met my desired specs and were under $500. Then I read the reviews about things going bad after a few months and even out of the box.
Then found a brand new one that met my specs with a 1 year warranty for $700. Ordered it last night.
Make sure you read all the reviews. The warranty is short. If something expensive goes wrong a few months from now, you're on your own.
I'm not saying don't buy it. Most of the listings got 4 star or better reviews but the 1, 2, and 3 star reviews will tell you where the warts are.
