Machines that have been tested properly rather than wiped and polished. We tell you the actual condition of what you are buying, including the battery health.
The same budget buys you a very different laptop depending on whether it is new or renewed. A business grade machine that cost a great deal three years ago is usually built better than a budget new laptop at the same price today, with a better screen, a better keyboard and a metal chassis.
The catch with refurbished laptops is that “tested” means different things to different sellers. For some it means it switched on. What matters is whether anyone actually checked the battery health, ran the storage diagnostics and put the machine under load to see whether it throttles.
We repair laptops for a living, which is what we use to check the ones we sell.
Latitude and Inspiron business machines are the ones that hold up best.
ProBook and EliteBook models, built to a higher standard than the consumer range.
ThinkPads, which are the most repairable and the longest lasting of the lot.
MacBook Air and Pro, checked thoroughly including battery cycle count.
Stock changes constantly. Call us with your budget and what you need it for, and we will tell you what we have.
If you are upgrading, we will value your old laptop on the spot and pay you for it. Working or not, it is worth asking before it sits in a drawer for three years losing value.
A second hand laptop is sold as it is. A renewed laptop has been tested, cleaned, repaired where needed and set up with a fresh operating system. Everything we sell has been through that process.
Ask us about the cover on the specific machine you are looking at. Cover varies by model and condition, and we would rather tell you the exact terms for that laptop than print a blanket promise on a web page.
Batteries wear, so this is the thing to ask about. We tell you the cycle count and remaining capacity before you buy, and where a battery is past its useful life we replace it or price the machine accordingly.
Yes. It is usually cheaper to have us fit it at the point of sale than to do it later.
Bring your current laptop in and we will tell you. Quite often an SSD and a memory upgrade is the cheaper answer, and we will say so even though it means a smaller sale for us.
Tell us what your laptop is doing and we will tell you what it needs. Diagnosis first, then a clear price, then the repair.
