I've bought used corporate Dells that were 2-3 years old after the lease expired. I have had outstanding experience doing that. Dell had (and may still have) a store on eBay where they sell these things. You have to research processors and soon understand what type of equipment is coming off lease today and is available for sale. I always buy the best they have to offer on the used market. Those machines at 3 years old have more processing power than a new consumer level machine advertised in the Sunday circulars today. Big problem those is they have no software. Only the OS. So you have to get all the software and load it yourself. It's a lot of work. But you end up with a very good laptop. Just sent my daughter off to college with one of these, and it must be 5-6 years old at this point. Works perfectly. You may be able to find ones that are running Windows 7 Pro.
You'll have no support if you go this route. So I can't recommend it. But I have had great luck.
