Your guide to refurbished tech this Christmas

What better way to save money this Christmas than by gifting refurbished tech? It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and giving a desirable piece of refurbished tech as a gift this Christmas has never been easier. 

Here, we’ll go through the best refurbished tech to gift your loved ones, highlighting the advantages of using refurbished tech and why this is, in fact, the best option. 

Why refurbished tech this Christmas?

Before we get into the best pieces of refurbished tech to gift this Christmas, let’s discuss why refurbished tech is the best option in the first place. 

Price vs. planet

Each year, millions and millions of new laptops and desktops are manufactured, which consumes enormous amounts of raw materials and energy. But there’s still perfectly functional corporate-grade refurbished tech that can be used instead. 

What is the actual issue with brand-new devices? Well, for starters, they are more expensive, not to mention their production contributing negatively to the environment and our carbon footprint. So, as you already know, the solution to this is refurbished tech because it significantly reduces the impact on the environment and is a lot more cost-effective. 

Choosing refurbished tech will save you up to 50% or more when compared to retail prices for new tech. So, now you can gift superior tech while paying up to half the price. 

It is the smart choice

Refurbished means much more than just ‘used’ or ‘old’. When purchasing refurbished tech from a reputable supplier like PC Renewed, you’ll have access to three core benefits that help make the best Christmas gift. 

Value

When you choose models that were originally built for enterprise use, you’ll benefit from high quality and use tech that is extremely reliable. Not to mention the money that you’ll be saving. Now, you can start looking at upgrading your refurbished tech’s specs, for example, installing a faster processor or more RAM. 

Eco-friendly gifting

As we mentioned before, using refurbished tech will have a direct impact on the environment, reducing e-waste and minimising the need for new raw materials to be used. So, in essence, every piece of refurbished tech is a win for the planet. 

Quality and peace of mind

We ensure that our tech is professionally refurbished, thoroughly tested, cleaned and repaired to make sure that the piece of tech works to its optimal performance. So, this means the device:

• Will perform like new
• Comes with a modern operating system
• Has a one-year warranty
