What is a Refurbished Computer?

July 8, 2009 - PRLog -- Statistics show that people who have already bought a factory refurbished computer will never buy ‘new’ computer again! Manufacturers are so sure about their refurbished computer equipment that they offer the original warranties.

Exactly what is considered factory refurbished computer equipment?
A lot of things can be labeled factory refurbished. So frivolous are some that it’s silly enough to make you laugh! Consumer laws prevent manufacturers from selling anything considered factory refurbished as new, so the second consumer gets the best deal and it’s just like a new computer!

For example, most major retail stores offer a 30 day money back guarantee on their computer equipment and some consumers take advantage of this. So when the new computer is returned, the manufacturer inspects the product and repackages it like new. But it can’t be sold as new now so you get a great price with the original warranty, now it’s considered a refurbished computer. Other reasons may be the box was damaged in shipment and so it was returned, a slight defect, the defective part is replaced by the manufacturer, tested and then repackaged just like new. Maybe a minor cosmetic blemish on the casing that was corrected. Demonstration units are also considered factory refurbished computers. They are also inspected, tested and repackaged. The box was simply opened or brand new items that have been overstocked are also labeled factory refurbished.

It’s hard to tell the history of each and every refurbished computer item but whatever the reason for the refurbished label you can be sure that the computer equipment has been inspected and serviced by the manufacturer then tested and repackaged to meet original product specifications, just like a new computer. And like I said before, all computer equipment merchandise is warranted by the original manufacturer unless otherwise specified.
Why buy a refurbished computer?
Well, to save MONEY! Why not get the best value while getting the exact same computer equipment? Also, you get the original manufacturer’s warranty and get a much, much lower price on your new computer.
Now with refurbished computer equipment you can afford that item which has been just out of your reach because it cost too much. And you will get the same performance! Actually refurbished items have a much lower defect rate than new ones. Only one in ten units that come back for repair is usually a factory refurb! That is because they are closely tested before they are sold. The only difference you may notice is a little label on the outside of the box or simply a brown box. So think hard before your purchase, are you shopping smart?

A refurbished computer is one that is sent back to the manufacturer for a variety of reasons, refitted with different parts as necessary, and then tested and approved for resale by the manufacturer. Refurbished computers typically carry the same warranty as provided with a new computer.
Yes, it can mean a computer that was returned because it didn’t work properly and was redone to factory specifications. But it can also be a system with a cosmetic blemish -- like a small ding on the monitor -- that automatically means it cannot be sold in stores. Or it could be a system that was returned simply because it wasn’t the correct model the consumer wanted, but the consumer had opened the box.
In any case, refurbished doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re buying a used computer at all. Many refurbished computers and laptops have never even been sold or used. In some cases, they are inventory overstocks that were never made available for sale or never shipped out to frontline stores.

Most importantly, refurbished doesn’t mean that you’re buying a computer with a defect or something else wrong with it. Refurbished computers go through the same testing and approval process that all brand new computers go through.


The Benefits of Buying Refurbished Computers

For many families and home businesses, one computer just isn't enough. While the main computer is in use, there's usually another family member who would like use email, surf the Internet, or finish up some work. A second computer or third computer in the house is quickly becoming a necessity for larger families.

As it becomes time to get additional computer systems that other members of the family or home business can use, this is when looking into getting a refurbished computer or laptop is a viable option. You can get pretty close to the same specifications as your new computer for less cost, or buy a basic system and save a bundle of money in the process.
Another case are those persons who are just now hopping on the technology train and who don’t want to spend a fortune on a new computer. In such cases, buying a refurbished computer instead is a great option for the new computer user. They can learn on it and get comfortable with the technology before moving on to a more sophisticated and more expensive system.
