Why have people nowadays talked a lot about Refurbished laptops? Why is this new to be spoken about and what are the benefits of buying such laptops? What's the guarantees and warranties?
What is a Refurbished laptop
A refurbished laptop are laptops that are repaired. This means that this machine has already been damaged but, to some extent, the machine has been fixed by a technician.
Well, I don’t think there are much benefit you can get from buying a refurbished laptop as compared to buying a new one aside that it sure would be cheaper. You see, these laptops are already repaired ones, so this means it has gone to some deterioration at some point. This refurbished laptops are guaranteed cheap but I don’t think that they will come with a warranty because probably it’s the technician who has fixed it will have it sold to you.
I hope this helps clear things out.

Hello E.Robe,
Refurbished laptops are the laptops are once used and then repaired due to any damage or functionality change. There are a variety of types of refurbished laptops.
-
Refurbished laptops by the Factory: sometimes the laptops are refurbished b the manufacturing factory itself. The reason can be any new update or any fault found during the initial stage of its use and needs to be changed.
-
User Refurbished laptops: These are the laptops which are used and then are subjected to some upgrades and sold at a lower price by the users. Such laptops can compete with the latest laptops and are available at a low price.
-
Custom Refurbished Laptops: these laptops are assembled locally by the sellers. They add the functionalities as required by the users. For example a potential user may want to have a laptop with high processor but doesn't need a larger hard disk so for this reason he can have a custom refurbished laptop by reducing its cost and gaining the required functions only.
Advantages of refurbished laptops include lower costs and increased lifetime warranty when you buy them from registered online stores. On the other hand these laptops are also affordable for those who keep them away from buying a laptop due to high costs.
What is a Refurbished laptop
“Refurbished” or “refurbish”, by definition, refers to old or used computer equipment or hardware that has been restored to like new working condition and or appearance. It may also refer to any computer hardware that has been sent back to the factory to fix a flaw. In everyday language, it means “to renew or to restore to new condition and or appearance”.
In computers, when an equipment is refurbished it doesn’t always mean it is defective, it may just be old. When hardware or devices are refurbished, the components are examined and non-working parts or defective components are replaced. This term basically refers to the hardware components of a computer that have been either updated with newer technology than the device originally came with or replaced with similar components.
Companies that usually lease computers will frequently refurbish the computers once they are turned in and resell the refurbished units or what they call “refurbs” at lower prices compared to new computers or donate them to charities or schools.
