IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Our partnership with Foxway to provide refurbished laptops and one year warranty for our network came to an end in 2025. As of July 2026 all one-year warranties have expired, and so no further support is available from Foxway.

What’s the difference between new and refurbished?

New computers typically come straight from the factory, often via intermediate sellers, in original, unopened packaging.

Refurbished computers are pre-owned and used, typically by businesses for office use. Our high-quality refurbished equipment will be fully functional but may include minor cosmetic blemishes or slight cosmetic damage; this will be made clear in the product description at the time of order.

What can I expect from refurbished equipment?

We follow rigorous quality guidelines that ensure every item we sell runs like new. The inspection and testing process includes a full diagnostic test, secure removal of data and replacement of any defective parts. We thoroughly clean each item before grading so that you can be sure of its condition and then pre-load a licensed operating system ready for use. Note that laptops are not pre-loaded with software such as Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), which is available by separate purchase from Microsoft.

The items are packaged in an individual box and come with the accessories as described on the product detail page.  All products are backed by our Satisfaction Guarantee and FREE extended 12- month warranty.

What are the benefits of buying refurbished equipment?

Buying refurbished helps your budget and the environment!

Refurbished computers are cheaper than buying brand new and can offer the same model up to 70% less than the original new price. The price might be lower, but the performance stays the same. All our refurbished items are fully tested and prepared for reuse before they are sold to ensure they deliver a great out of box user experience.

Environmentally, refurbishing a computer extends its lifespan and reduces the need for new product to be manufactured, significantly reducing carbon emissions (CO2e).  The mining and production of the core minerals for new computers uses a lot of energy and water which is harmful to the environment.

Refurbishment means:

· Reduced demand for valuable natural resources

· Less CO2 emissions than new manufacture

· Less e-waste and avoidable end of life recycling

· Lower energy, water and fuel consumption used in new production

In summary you can help the environment and save money by purchasing refurbished items.

How are refurbished items graded?

We follow rigorous quality guidelines that ensure every item we sell runs like new. The inspection and testing process includes a full diagnostic test, secure removal of data, replacement of any defective parts, thorough cleaning process carried out, product grading and pre-loaded licensed software.

The items will be fully functional Grade A laptops. Should this change, this will be clearly marked and explained.

What is my device’s battery life?

As part of the refurbishment process, we check the battery health for capacity and confirmed as accepting a charge. We are unable to guarantee the life expectancy of a battery which is considered a replaceable part of a portable machine which wears over time.

However, for Grade A refurbished laptops, battery health is >80% of the original battery life. We do of course expect all refurbished laptops to contain a working battery above a minimum capacity. If it was found that a battery was below this at the time of supply, we would expect the item to be returned for inspection and resolution.

Does the computer include licensed Microsoft Windows?

Yes, we are one of the largest Microsoft Authorised Refurbishers in the world. This means we professionally refurbish Windows devices, ensuring a great out of box user experience. Details of the Windows Operating version will be contained in the product description at the time of purchase.

Currently, all laptops are using Microsoft Windows 10 pro.

Why buy a computer from a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR)?

Microsoft Refurbisher partners follow strict requirements established by Microsoft to ensure customers receive a high quality, professional refurbished device installed with genuine Microsoft Windows software. Such devices are free of defects, malware and viruses that could negatively impact your privacy and security.

Only genuine Windows operating systems offer to end users the quality and security they expect with the added benefit of ensuring their PC is always up to date.

How to tell a genuine Microsoft Windows license?

Every refurbished device from a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher includes a specially designed Genuine Microsoft Refurbisher label (GMRL) affixed to the chassis.

Does my computer include anti-virus protection?

Yes, all computers supplied with pre-installed Windows 10 and 11 come with Microsoft Security included. This is a free anti-virus suite from Microsoft, which provides the latest antivirus protection.

How should we manage our unwanted equipment?

Decommissioning devices with data security in mind cannot be overlooked when disposing of technology. Properly guarding the data stored or accessed from technology devices. Security breaches can plague consumers and businesses and result in untold economic and personal impact.

Production and disposal of electronics also has such a huge environmental impact. We recognise the problem of end-of-life management for technology devices and the complexities and challenges for organisations when dealing with it. Please get in touch if you want to understand more about our services or commitment to the environment. We will share our industry leading certification standards and the strict compliance policies that we follow.
