Here are some great info on Refurbished IT Equipment:

By Patrick Austin Consumer Reports “Pre-owned electronics can be a great deal” http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/laptops/refurbished-electronics-buying-guide

PC Magazine Eric Griffith ” Look around and don’t get locked into “new”, when “like new” can be just as good and save you some cash.” http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2374270,00.asp

Kyle Wiens, CEO of tech repair site iFixit, https://www.ifixit.com/ thinks that buying refurbished can be smart, even if you don’t care about getting a deal. “Every computer I’ve ever bought has been a refurb,” Wiens says. Refurbished electronics get a once-over from a technician, which doesn’t happen with most new products, and they’re also environmentally friendlyâ€”it costs vastly less in terms of energy and raw materials to refurbish a product than to manufacture a new one. “People have this fixation with new, and I don’t understand it,” Wiens says. “You save money; it’s a good buy. It’s better for everybody.”

Ricks Blogs says “If you shop carefully and do your homework, you can save money on your next computer purchase with virtually no risk.” http://www.ricksdailytips.com/buying-a-refurbished-pc/

My greatest passion is my wife who encourages me, guides me, and handles my day to day operations. I have been working and studying with computers since 1994. I have worked I.T. my whole life in roles including retail, corporate services, and volume wholesale. I.T. is the only real career I have ever had. I do my best to bring you information and technology updates from the viewpoint of an IT Asset Disposition (I.T.A.D.) or Asset Recovery Company which is in the process of maximizing the value of unused or end-of-life I.T. assets through effective reuse or divestment. These are my views and opinions, and I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. I would love to hear from you!
