I bought this refurbished laptop as a Christmas present for my son. I am a big fan of dell the build quality is great. I must admit I am overwhelmed with what I received. I am going to post some pictures of the actual laptop I received so you can assess yourself because I was dubious of "refurbished" . I ordered it on Tuesday and received it the next day with free delivery!
It is a intel i5 3rd generation with 8GB memory and a 128Gb SSD. The condition is like new and the battery is great it lasted out of the box for over two and a half hours. For under £200 from a genuine retailer with 12 months warranty I couldn't find a like for like deal with these options at this price.

Still prefer a ThinkPad X230 but they often go for more. Here's the NBC review: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Dell-Latitude-E6230-Notebook.83266.0.html
Rather strange that unlike the larger Dell Latitudes like E6430 etc. this doesn't have a trackpoint. The other well-known Dell Latitude think is to have HDMI instead of DisplayPort which is strange for a business machine.
Still plenty of people do not like the classic black ThinkPad look and this looks a bit more modern.
The NBC review says yes.
This is 12.5" extra portable laptop so it doesn't have a DVD where you could add a 2nd HDD. AFAIK the only 12.5" laptop which has an optical drive is the HP EliteBook 2570p.
While this appears to have spare miniPCI slots, googling shows that they do not seems to able to take mSATA (which would be an expensive option anyway): http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/msata-ssd-in-dell-e6230-do-nothing.720489/

um, i think dell are a bit over rated. I believe my current laptop is the 3rd gen i5 3230 I purchased it over 2 years ago. for a £100 more. So not sure if this is great value or not. The only merits being a ssd and 8gb
