With inflation sky high, it's more important than ever to find ways to stretch our dollar. That's why, if human IT were committed to helping everyone access technology regardless of their income. A key way we do this is by selling refurbished laptops to people through our online store. However, we know some people might have some hang-ups about the quality or performance of refurbished technology. Well, we're here to show you how to get the most bang for your bug when buying a laptop for you or someone you know. First of all, let's talk about performance. Just because a laptop is refurbished doesn't mean that it's going to be slow. The making model of the laptop has a big influence on its performance. For example, a refurbished Lenovo ThinkPad will run faster than a new Google Chromebook simply because of the quality of their internals. In fact, since quality refurbishers like human IT often upgrade RAM and expand storage space, you can end up with an older refurbished laptop that's cheaper, faster, and better equipped to run new software than a new budget unit. But what about the cosmetic imperfections of a refurbished device? Well, what about them? Sure, refurbished laptops might have a few scratches or scuffs, but that's no big deal. They're just cosmetic and they don't affect the speed or functionality of the laptop. Plus, those cosmetic imperfections can often lead to an even bigger discount. Of course, refurbished laptops can still have some issues. That's why it's important to only buy refurbished computers from sellers who offer a generous warranty, at least six months, but preferably a year like human IT offers. This gives you peace of mind in knowing that you're covered and can receive a replacement device if anything goes wrong. So don't be put off from buying refurbished laptops. With the right research and a little bit of knowledge, you can find a high performing, high value laptop that won't break the bank. We hope this is helpful and that you remember to click the link in our bio to see if any of the refurbished laptops we sell from Apple, Lenovo, or Dell offer their performance you're looking for.
