What is a refurbished desktop?

A refurbished desktop is a computer that has been used before but has been restored to its original condition. This can include anything from a simple cleaning to a full replacement of parts. Many people choose to buy refurbished desktops because they are cheaper than buying a brand new one, and they still work just as well.

At Reboot IT we use specialised software to do a hardware profile on the computer which then allows our technicians to perform functionality tests. These tests include:

• CMOS
• Speakers
• USB Ports
• LAN Port
• Optical Drive
• LCD
• WIFI
• Microphone

We take used computers and get them ready for their second life. We wipe the hard drives clean and install a new operating system. If any parts need to be replaced, we only use high-quality branded computer parts. Finally, we clean the used computers and grade them before they go on sale. This is why Reboot IT offers the best deals on refurbished PC's.

Why buy refurbished computers?

There are several reasons to buy a refurbished computer. For one, they are often cheaper than buying a brand-new model. This can be a terrific way to save money, especially if you are on a budget. Additionally, refurbished computers often come with warranty, so you can be sure that you are covered in case of any problems. Finally, buying a refurbished computer can be a great way to help the environment, as it reduces e-waste and is the best way to recycle IT equipment.

There are many places you can buy refurbished computers, but it is always better to buy from a registered business. This gives you more options if something goes wrong, and you are automatically covered by Australian Consumer Law if you buy from a business.

How reliable are second hand desktops?

A refurbished item's reliability is difficult to predict because it can be hinge on a number of factors, such as who performed the refurbishment and what kind of upgrades were made. Generally speaking, if the refurbishment was done by the manufacturer or reputable third-party, and only cosmetic upgrades were made, then the reliability is likely to be high. However, if major components were swapped out or upgraded, then it becomes more difficult to say.

How long do refurbished PC's last?

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, such as the quality of the refurbishment, the type of computer, and how well it is cared for. Generally speaking, however, a refurbished computer should last for several years before needing to be replaced. With proper care and maintenance, a refurbished computer can provide many years of reliable service.

Need help deciding what refurbished computer to buy?

Need help deciding what refurbished computer to buy? One of the first things is to consider what category of second-hand PC fits your needs the best.

Budget Computers 

Older computers generally under $150. These computers will be older Core 2 Duo and early model Core i series which are still fast enough to basic internet surfing, writing emails and using spreadsheets or word documents. Keep in mind that being older computers, they will have older versions of the operating system installed such as Windows XP, Vista and 7. Microsoft has stopped supporting all these operating systems and some newer software may not run on them, particularly XP and Vista. 

Mid-Range

Good all-round machines for web browsing, email, office software and other general use such as internet hosted gaming. These are typically prices from $150-$250 and are great for students, families and even some office work. These refurbished computers will generally have Windows 7 and 10 operating systems and while they can run most software and applications, they still may struggle with high end video editing and games.

High-End

These used desktops tend to fall into two categories. First, recent model computers which will have CPU's which are only 2-3 years old and will typically cost anywhere from $250-$500 depending on the age and specification. These computers will always have Windows 10 or 11 and can perform business and study tasks with ease and efficiency. 

What about Workstations?

A workstation generally comes as a tower form factor and is a good option for people who need a lot of space for running multiple hard drives, having dedicated graphics cards and larger power supplies. This type of machine is good for designers, video editors and gamers due to the high amount of RAM they support in addition to having plenty of room for upgrades for the power user. Workstations are more expensive and can cost from $500 to over $1000.
