For refurbished, I would go with the newest processor you can find, not so
much because of faster processing, but rather so that you can get Windows
11 or whichever operating system you are using and the updates.
MS just decided not to continue most updates to Windows 10 and Windows 11
requires a certain level process for it to be installed.
We just bought my wife a new laptop for this reason.
FWIW, a recent refurbished desktop will provide all the power you need and
they typically will last until they are obsolete for OS issues. Laptops
generally are not as fast and are more prone to wear and tear issues.
best,
doug
