Buying refurbished computers can be a great beneficial experience that offers a fantastic return on investment along with access to state of the art technology.

Whether you’re a company looking to upgrade your systems, or an individual who is willing to have a personal desktop or laptop that works faster with increased functionality, there are many reasons to choose refurbished machines.

Take a look at some of the benefits of buying refurbished computers:

 The Quality Can Be Better Than Buying New

As you are buying a refurbished machine, you can generally afford a higher specification on attributes such as memory, screen quality and processor speed. This is because there can be a quick turnover of as little as 3 months from a brand new model’s release date to refurbished versions being on the market. So you are instantly getting a top notch machine without the price tag of ‘brand new’.

It May Only Have Been a Small Fix

You can find out the issue with the product you’re buying and how it was fixed. Reasons can be as small as fixing a piece of hardware, such as the keys or the battery. Such fixes don’t leave any noticeable marks and make the desktops, laptops or smartphone appear as good as new, matching their ability to work as good as new.

When you consider the money saved and the quality of the product, it is imperative to choose refurbished products. You can save hundreds of dollars on top brands, such as Apple, for a superficial issue that is already fixed.

THEY ARE PROTECTED BY A WARRANTY

Should larger fixes and repairs have been undertaken and the status of your model is ‘fully refurbished’, then you can receive a full one year warranty from Hardware Associates for complete peace of mind. It is a guarantee that should any issue occur in that timeframe, you’re fully protected for your purchase.

It’s Easy To Transfer Data

Whilst this is true of new and second-hand computers, it’s worth taking into account that it’s no more difficult and just as secure to transfer your current data to a refurbished computer. This can be done by downloading data onto an external hard drive or via the cloud and transferring to your new computer after point of purchase.

If you have certain programs and software, for example, if you work in a school and are buying refurbished computers for a lab, this should easily fall into the remit and skill of an IT department with admin access to software and machines.

You Will be Helping The Environment

One of the top reasons refurbished products have increased in popularity in recent years is that they are known as a ‘green option’. This can help improve a company’s brand image; the public are increasingly choosing brands who have ethical and responsible and eco-friendly processes in place.
