Refurbished notebooks are portable computers that have been returned to the seller or manufacturer for some reason. Sometimes they are devices that have been used or they just did not meet the initial customer's expectations.
Before the notebook is offered again to potential customers, the device undergoes a thorough refurbishment process. All defects have been rectified, defective components have been replaced, and the device has been thoroughly tested to ensure its complete functionality (as if it were brand new). Only devices that have been successfully inspected and repaired are being offered as "refurbished."
Purchasing a refurbished notebook can be a great choice for those looking for a quality notebook at an affordable price. You get a product in a state similar to a new device, while also contributing to sustainability.
What does notebook refurbishment exactly include?
A detailed inspection and repair process is carried out on notebooks when they are returned to the manufacturer. Here's what it includes:
- Comprehensive inspection: Every notebook is tested for all its functions, from the screen to the keyboard and battery.
- Component replacement: If something isn't working as it should, it's immediately replaced with new parts.
- Cleaning: It's also cleaned inside and out, ensuring cleanliness and restoring its original appearance.
- Software update: All applications are updated, old data from the previous user delited.
Essentially, it goes through a complete “wellness” program to ensure it's as good as brand new. Many people think that refurbished notebooks are the same as used ones, but that's not entirely true. Refurbished ones are brought back to a “like new” condition through official service and inspection, and they come with the same warranty as new products. Whereas regular used ones are sold as they are, without any reliable warranty on their functionality. So, when you buy a refurbished device, you have less risk and get a significant reliability increase.
How do you benefit from it?
Now when you already know how the refurbishment process works, let us tell you why choosing refurbished laptops is a great idea. Here are 10 reasons why our refurbished laptops are so attractive:
-
Enhanced Reliability
Our renewed laptops are a trustworthy selection. Every device goes through extensive testing before it is delivered to you. We meticulously check each component, resolve any issues, and swap out old parts with new ones. If, for instance, a laptop had a malfunctioning screen or battery, we upgrade them with fresh replacements. By following this approach, we ensure that our renewed laptops are even more reliable than new ones.
-
Excellent Price-to-Performance Ratio
When you buy a refurbished laptop from us, you get an excellent balance of price and performance. The price of new computers is influenced by various factors, including marketing expenses and brand. With refurbished devices, you pay significantly less because we minimize extra costs without compromising quality. For example, a model that would cost (as new) 600 - 800€ when refurbished is offered for 300 - 400€.
So, you not only do save money, but also get a high-quality device ready for long-term use.
-
Contribution to Sustainability
By purchasing a refurbished computer, you're helping our planet. The production of new devices requires a lot of resources and leads to large CO2 emissions. Choosing refurbished models reduces these emissions and resource consumption, as significantly fewer new components required. It also helps avoid extended electronic waste. In other words, by buying refurbished equipment, you make an important step, taking care of environment.
-
Minimal Losses
Yes, it's a great option for those looking for reliable yet affordable devices for work or educating children. If the device gets damaged, you won't have to spend a large sum of money on its repair or replacement, as you would with a new device. This way, you reduce financial risks and can feel more confident knowing that potential losses will be minimal.
-
Lower Risk Compared to standard “Used” Devices
Unlike most used laptops, which are sold “as is” without any guarantees, refurbished devices come to you checked and ready for longer use. This reduces the risk of unexpected problems, which often arise with used electronics.
-
Savings on Software
