Probook 450 is better quality than 250 for the same price.
Why people always suggest HP consumer laptops? HP consumer laptops have bad reviews re quality and durability. I compared them side by side, their quality differences are instantly noticeable. As their prices are similar for the same specs, always go for HP business laptops.

go for Probook 450 i5 for the same price brand new. business laptop, much better quality.
Cannot believe people pay this price for this sepc consumer laptop refurbished. Not worth it.
As long as brand new business laptop is at this price point, this consumer laptop should be less than £250, not to mention refurbished.
I acknowledge this one has a dedicated graphic card, but it is only 820M, a low end, not much better than HD 5500 which comes with i5-5200U. Not worth to pay a lot extra for.

Dell outlet can be open box return, can be Scratch and Dent. Which is why nowadays they are called refurbished.
If 2nd hand, they are called used.
Same price, i5-5200U too, why choose this refurbished Dell consumer laptop over brand new HP business laptop?
It is more of a case that people are not aware better one is at the same price rather than anything else.

If buying refurbished Dell consumer laptop, see below is a deal 4 days ago. That is what your money should be paid for. That one is hot. Deal in this thread is way overpriced.
For refurbished, £330 can get you Flex 2 15.6 inch, FHD IPS screen, i5, 8GB, SSHD renewed by Lenovo, it is all gone now. That is how today's price goes.

To everyone recommending using Dell outlet, I'd advise against it. I received my Dell FHD i5 6200 (scratch & dent - with barely a discernible mark on it) only to find it crashing every 5 minutes and a keyboard that didn't fit the frame properly. I have since waited 3 weeks for it to be collected, with 2 collections not turning up thus far due to some apparent technical issue on Dell's behalf. Having complained and being promised that a supervisor would contact me regarding 2 wasted days, I'm still waiting for their contact a week later. I won't be purchasing from Dell again. The current crop of laptops in general, having researched and tested many in stores, including sending back a Lenovo, a Toshiba and now a Dell, in my humble opinion is of poor quality. And windows 10 is just too buggy. When I finally settle on a new one, I reckon it's going to be an older model with Windows 7.
