Why buy refurbished
Computers today are so fast that many systems from even five years ago still handle 99% of everyday tasks. A refurbished computer saves you money, and if you play games, a used gaming computer is a great way into great games.
- Data-wiped for your security and updated with the latest security updates.
- Verified. Unlike a brand-new computer assembled and boxed on an assembly line, a refurbished one has been checked by a person who confirmed that it works.
- Fast. Many of our refurbished computers have brand-new SSD hard drives.
- Warranty. Each refurbished computer is backed by a 90-day warranty.
Not sure which computer you need?
A few questions narrow it down quickly:
- Laptop or desktop? A laptop goes anywhere. A desktop gives you more performance and easier upgrades for the money.
- What will you do on it? Web, email and video need very little. Photo editing, video work and modern games need more memory and a stronger processor or graphics card.
- Does it have an SSD? A solid-state drive makes any computer feel faster. We’ll point out which ones have one.
- Windows, Mac or Chromebook? Use what you already know, or ask us how they differ for what you do every day.
Bring your answers, or just your questions, and we’ll help you match one to your budget.
