Any second-hand business class laptop, i.e. HP Elitebook/Probook/Zbook, Dell Inspiron/Latitude/XPS, or Lenovo Thinkpad.

Businesses tend to get rid of them after 4 years, even if they're still in good condition. Great bang for your buck and easily repairable if something does end up breaking.

Where's a good place/website (in the US) to buy used business laptops that are being disposed due to tech refreshes?

Don't really know about the US, sorry. eBay might be a good place though.

It generally is. Just make sure to know what model you want, and to make sure that the bios isn't locked (computrace basically bricks them if enabled).
