EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT REFURBISHED DESKTOP COMPUTERS


                         

In the current scenario, it seems like there’s an endless and large inventory of the latest technology available in the market making it difficult to choose the next device to bring home. But the major factor behind such decisions is the cost which in the case of new computers can be prohibitive. This is where ‘refurbished’ desktops come in to save the day.

Since for most customers, the matter of contemplation is to save money on electronics, as an awakened buyer, it will be better for you to investigate all the potential options. Therefore, you can look for computers that are used, refurbished or at least opened in exchange for a significant discount. 

But in reality, many customers step back at the mere mention of the ‘refurbished’ term. Not only that, but it is also generally seen that the terms refurbished and used are assumed to be the same, which is not true. This is where the skepticism related to refurbished devices creeps in.
Let’s begin by polishing our basics about refurbished desktops. For that, we need to understand what refurbished stands for.

Generally, the word refurbished has a strong stigma attached to it. But, in reality, it is just a blanket term that encompasses a lot of potential circumstances under the same label. The question that boggles most of us- why were such devices returned in the first place

There are a few possible answers to this question.

  • Change of heart on the part of the initial buyer.
  • Accidental damage to the packaging while shipping.
  • The device has certain cosmetic damages or slight blemishes.
  • The product has a major or minor defect. 

If a device is labeled as refurbished, reconditioned or certified pre-owned, it means that it has gone through an extensive process to restore it to its glory. To make it simpler, a refurbished desktop that you want to buy has gone through rigorous testing and quality assessments before reaching your doorstep. This is what makes these computers different from devices marked as used or obtained from unauthorized dealers. 

Certified resellers or manufacturers pass the refurbished desktop computer through the following stages during the refurbishment process: 

  • The manufacturer will fully test the device and make the necessary repairs if any.
  • The software of the device will be reset to factory settings.
  • Further, the device will undergo data wipe thereby removing any personal information of the previous owner, unnecessary software and other unwanted information.
  • Repackaging of the fully tested and clean device.

Benefits associated with buying refurbished desktop computers:

  • They are cheaper than buying brand new computers.
  • Guarantee of getting a better device, as these products undergo stricter testing regimes than new devices.
  • You can be lucky enough to procure mint in the box i.e. a device that has been returned unused. Since it can’t be resold as new but in reality, it is new for all intents and purposes.
