Is a cheap Laptop a bad Laptop?

Is a cheap Laptop a bad Laptop?

We’ll we’re going to say no aren’t we, after all we want you to buy a cheap laptop from ITZOO.

Let’s try and be objective. When buying on a budget you have a few options.

Buy a low specification or budget range laptop new.

Buy a second hand laptop.

Buy a cheap refurbished laptop from ITZOO.

Let’s look at each option in more detail.

Buy a low specification or budget range laptop new.

When buying a new laptop at the budget end of the market you are either saving money by getting the lower specification in the new laptop range or you're compromising on build quality, if its new and cheap there has to be a compromise somewhere, you can’t get a cheap new laptop without compromising on either the specification or the quality. So when evaluating the purchase of a new laptop make sure you take a very close look at the specification and the quality.

Buy a second hand laptop.

Lots of people will sell their old laptops, ones they have used at work or those they have owned personally. You’ll save plenty of money over the new price, it likely will be the definition of a cheap laptop. What are you actually getting? Can you be certain of the provenance of the laptop, who owned it, where did it come from? Will the software be legal, have a valid licence so you can get updates and support? If things go wrong, the device becomes faulty is there any guarantee or warranty available? Buy a cheap second hand laptop and you’ll probably have many more of these types of questions to ponder.

Buy a cheap refurbished laptop from ITZOO.

If you want a cheap laptop, a good specification, good build quality with support and warranty this is the option to choose.  

At ITZOO we only supply ex corporate laptops, when new these were the top of the range, built with high specification components and a build quality designed to withstand continuous use.

As one of only a very small number of Microsoft Authorised Refurbishers we supply fully legal MS Windows software on all our Windows laptops. You get full support from Microsoft, exactly the same as with a new laptop.

Every single one of our cheap laptops are fully tested by our skilled technicians, ensuring the specification we advertise is the specification you’ll receive. All components will be tested and guaranteed to work.

Your cheap laptop will also come with a 12 month warranty, just like a new one, so should anything go wrong you’ll have the same level of cover as buying a new laptop.

With over 30 years’ experience of refurbishing computers and laptops you can be assured that buying from ITZOO means your cheap laptop will be a good laptop.

Cheap refurbished PC deal July 2018.

Refurbished Dell 3020 Micro PC G3250T 2.8Ghz 4GB 128GB SSD Windows 10 

Reviews

Fast Delivery, Fast PC

Bought to replace a 2006 Celeron 40GB HD 750MB RAM old beast of a PC. Ordered without fast delivery it arrived just 2 days later. Texted a 1 hour delivery slot of 10.03am to 11.03am it arrived at 10.15am. Very well packed. Nice little unit. Totally silent - I'm used to a noisy fan running all the time! Would definitely buy from this firm again ... in fact I'm here now for "idle ideas of wanting things" rather than just "desperately need" as they made the process seamless.

Cool little ProxMox server!

PC came well packaged with an additional USB WiFi adapter which I wasn't expecting!

Added another 4GB RAM and now it's performing well as a ProxMox server for a bunch of Linux containers. Fast and quiet, really impressed.

Great Little Machine still had the cellophane on it

Bought to use as a small Plex Server and does that job perfectly, no noise, low power, easy to upgrade. Came well packed and ready to go.

Cheap refurbished Laptop deal July 2018.

Review

First ever refurb laptop bought

This is my first ever refurb laptop I bought, only because my 3 year all singing New Lenovo decided to keep crashing and I didnt want to spend a fortune on another new laptop.

This HP although graded is actually MINT CONDITION no damage no scratches and nothing broken.

Working like a dream. Wish I had gone for the ssd upgrade though as I only saw the advantages of the ssd after it was dispatched.

Honestly my first refurb purchase and im glad I chose these guys. Very friendly on the phone too. Thanks!!!

Is buying a refurbished computer a good idea?

Many people wonder if buying a refurbished computer instead of a brand new one is a smart move or a risk. Here are several reason refurbished computers might be right for you:

1 – It saves you money. Choosing a refurb instead of springing for a new PC can save you anywhere from 20% to 80% off the RRP of a new computer.

2 – The quality and reliability of PCs from an official Microsoft Approved Refurbisher (MAR) means that you are purchasing a tier one branded product for a fraction of its original cost.

3 - Most computers aren’t passed on to be refurbished because they are defective, but simply because they have been replaced by a slightly newer model.

4 – All refurbished systems, including those that are indeed returned due to a real problem, are cleaned, thoroughly tested and given any necessary repairs or upgrades before being offered for re-sale. In fact, the risk of receiving a defective refurbished unit is actually lower than the risk of receiving a defective new one due to the extra testing and checks refurbished equipment is subjected to.

5 – Refurbished computers frequently come with a warranty period just as with a brand new one. So should a problem you'll have the same secure cover as you would with a brand new PC.

Tips for buying a refurbished PC

1 – It's always best to buy refurbished IT from a Microsoft Approved Refurbisher (MAR) as ITZOO, in order to guarantee the quality of the refurbishment and that you're getting the real deal on any software included in your purchase.

2 – Remember that although refurbs are great value and will work just as well as new units, the low price means they might come with small cosmetic blemishes such as minor dents or superficial scratches to casings.

Conclusion

By buying refurbished, you can save money on your next computer purchase with virtually no risk. A good reputation is vital to refurbished PC sellers such as ITZOO, and it's as import to them as it is to you that you receive high quality and reliable service.
