Refurbished Computers

Is It Worth Buying a Used Computer?

Used computers are often worth the buy if they have been refurbished by experts. Laptops and desktop PCs we sell in our online store at Giga Refurb have been refurbished to a good standard, often with only minor cosmetic scuff marks present that may be barely noticeable (grade 1 refurbished computers). It means you can get your hands on anything from a Dell Optiplex desktop PC to a top Lenovo laptop for an incredible price. Unlike some faceless online companies, we also make it very easy to contact us about anything you need, including an online customer service enquiry form and phone number.

Is It Bad To Buy a Refurbished Computer?

No! Buying refurbished laptops, servers, parts and desktop PCs is one of the best ways to save you money. Find top devices in almost-new quality but without the price tag associated with buying them brand new. At Giga Refurb, we even update the hardware and software wherever possible, including Windows 10 Pro upgrades, replacement parts, new HD monitors, optical drives and more. You can also get your hands on lots of different refurbished computer accessories to buy alongside your new Dell Optiplex or other device.

Does Buying a Refurbished Computer Help the Environment?

One of the other great parts about buying refurbished Dell or Lenovo computers is that you can reduce your carbon footprint. Manufacturing processes and electronic waste can have a negative impact on our environment. By refurbishing computers, we can recycle old IT equipment and parts, allowing others to make good use of them. Even a faulty computer can be broken down into parts, which is why Giga Refurb aims to achieve a 0% landfill target when we receive used computers. By buying refurbished items, it's a great way to decrease your carbon. You could even add this into your business' computer buying policy.

What Are the Best Refurbished Computers?

The best refurbished computers will come with everything you need to get started, including a Windows 10 operating system, speedy processor (e.g. intel core i5 3470, intel core i7 etc.), high-quality parts, accessories, decent RAM memory and more. However, every customer's needs will differ, so make sure you consider what's best for you. Otherwise, you could end up with a computer that's not suitable for your set-up.

Here are some questions to ask yourself when searching for the best refurbished computer.

Would I prefer a laptop or desktop PC?

What accessories do I need?

Do I require a laptop that enables home working?

Do I need a new laptop or desktop PC for business reasons or personal use?

Have I got a particular processor in mind (e.g. quad core/intel core i3/intel core i5/intel core i7 etc.)?

Would a new tablet aid my set-up?

Is there a brand I like more than others, such as Dell or Lenovo?

Have I got an idea about the model I want, such as Lenovo ThinkPad, Dell Latitude etc.?

Could my current set-up be improved with some replacement parts or components?

How much memory or storage do I require (including the RAM needed)?

There are lots of other considerations to make when buying a refurbished desktop PC or laptop, but these are just some to get you started.

Do You Supply Gaming Equipment?

Yes! Whether you need replacement parts for your gaming laptops, gaming accessories, graphics cards, servers or even top gaming PCs, we have dedicated sections of our site for everything you want.

Do You Wipe the Hard Drive?

Yes - Information security is one of the biggest considerations we give to the computer refurbishment process, ensuring all confidential data is wiped from any data-bearing devices. This includes the hard drive. Our data erasure process follows accredited techniques, overwriting previous data with unreadable information. This makes sure that the next owner of the Lenovo or Dell laptop won't be able to access company information, personal details or files once held on the machine. When you receive your refurbished workstations or Dell Optiplex, you should be able to set yourself up as a new user as if you are the first person to use the machine.

What Condition Are Refurbished Computers Sold In?

Whether you're interested in a Dell, Lenovo or another computer make, we give the product a grade so that you understand more about what condition to expect it in. This includes:

• NEW - where the original packaging is damaged or missing (but the computer hasn't been used)
• GRADE 1 -light cosmetic scratches or scuffs are present
• GRADE 2- heavier signs of use than Grade 1, e.g. small dents or screen blemishes
• GRADE 3 - heavier signs of usage than Grade 2

Whatever grade is given to our refurbished laptops, all come in good working condition, and often, heavier use means a cheaper price! Please note, for your peace of mind, all our refurbished laptops and PCs come with a 12 month warranty.

Do Your Refurbished Desktop PCs & Laptops Have Windows 10 Installed?

As a Microsoft Authorised Refurbisher, we install genuine Windows 10 Pro software wherever it's compatible to give you access to the best operating system.

Can I Get Free Delivery?

Whether you buy new servers, laptops or PCs, we detail the delivery options available to you alongside the product details. This will usually give you choices such as collection from our IT refurbishment facility or next day delivery with a courier.
