ARE REFURBISHED LAPTOPS WORTH BUYING?

If you're considering investing in refurbished laptops over brand new models, you may be wondering whether it's worth it? Well, if you want cheap laptops from leading manufacturers that come in good condition...then the answer is yes! Whether you want a new business laptop such as a Dell Latitude or a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad, you can get your hands on top computers that come with a discounted price tag.

One of the other advantages of buying a refurbished laptop is the environmental benefits. Manufacturing processes can waste a lot of energy, so always buying new products can contribute to this. Refurbishing laptops is one of the best IT recycling methods. It reduces the amount of e-waste produced in the UK while giving you the opportunity to get a top laptop for a reduced price. It also means businesses can upgrade their computers for less if buying more than one laptop, especially now that home working is so popular.

WILL MY NEW LAPTOP COME IN GOOD CONDITION?

If you choose a reputable IT refurbisher like Giga Refurb, then yes! Even if we acquire a broken laptop, it can often be repaired. We replace parts, update the software (e.g. to Windows 10 Pro) and ensure data is fully erased from the machine. Every laptop is thoroughly tested and graded before we place it on our sales pages.

ARE THERE CONS OF BUYING REFURBISHED LAPTOPS?

Buying a refurbished laptop has so many advantages that there are very few cons to doing so. It may just be that if you have a smaller budget, you may end up with a model that shows heavier signs of usage. However, the laptop should still be in good working condition and may have a larger discount as a result. In fact, if a customer needs cheap laptops, one could argue that buying refurbished is one of the best ways to make the most of your money and get access to a better model than if you were to only look at brand new computers.

If you'd love a new laptop, there are lots of different brands and manufacturers to consider. Some of the best names in the business include Apple, Dell, Lenovo, Microsoft and HP. They've all been in the industry for years, producing high-quality products for every need. This includes HP laptops ideal for business working, Dell PCs with in-built intel core i7 processors and laptops with Win 10 Pro software ready to use.

CAN I SET UP THE COMPUTER AS BRAND NEW?

When you get your refurbished laptop out of the box, you'll be able to set yourself up as a brand new user, like it's the first time the computer has been used. When we receive used computers, PCs and laptops, we take the hard drives and ensure they're completely erased of past data. It means you won't be able to find any details of who previously owned the machine or access any documents, information or files.

At Giga Refurb, we're data destruction specialists, using accredited techniques to ensure data protection is paramount when managing used computers. We won't put an item on sale unless we're completely happy that confidential information has been permanently erased from the laptop.

WHAT DO YOUR GRADES MEAN?

Each laptop or refurbished item is given a grade, which refers to the condition you can expect it in. To make things easy for you, we've put together a handy guide so that you can understand our grading system. Whatever grade you see, laptops refurbished by our team are always restored to a high standard. Therefore, even if you buy our lowest graded laptop (Grade 3), while there may be some heavier signs of usage, it doesn't mean it's not a great machine that works as it should.
