If you need to buy a new laptop, before you rush out and buy a brand new one, have you considered buying one that has been refurbished? Buying tech that has been refurbished, whether a mobile phone, desktop computer or a laptop, is a great way to save money and get what you want.
When you are buying a refurbished laptop, first of all get an idea of what you want. Think about the work that you will need it to do and what you need on the laptop so that it meets its requirements – remember, it is only a bargain if you actually need it!
Go to a professional company that specialises in refurbished laptops, as this way you can check the reviews and also they will be able to help and advise you if you have any questions or if you are looking for something in particular. Going to a company rather than buying from a private seller also means that your consumer rights are protected, and you have a guarantee or warranty to cover you if anything should go wrong with it.
When laptops and phones are refurbished, they will also usually be given a rating so ask about this so that you know what you are getting. All items will be classed as a certain category depending on the overall condition that they are in, although all will be in good working order, but the difference is in superficial damage or whether they come with a box and accessories.
