    Default Why buy refurbished?



    Discover the benefits of refurbished business products, and how they can complement new ones.

    You know it's supposed to mean more bang for your buck, but for some, the term "refurbished" stirs up more questions than confidence: "Am I buying someone's hand-me-down computer with a few new parts thrown in?" "Will the software on my remanufactured desktop be out-of-date?" "Are the ink cartridges of a refurbished printer less than full?"
    Fortunately, these and other common questions about remanufactured products are easily answered, allowing you to make the smartest buy for your technology needs. In this article, we'll discuss what refurbished products really are, where they come from, how to buy them, and why refurbished is sometimes the best choice.

    What is "refurbished"?

    At HP, a refurbished solution is offered on just about all product lines: printers, notebooks, desktops, monitors, servers, handhelds, and more. They are products that have been returned to HP for a variety of reasons and then put through a rigorous re-manufacturing process.
    Where do refurbished products come from?
    HP refurbished business products can originate from a variety of sources, including:
    • Customer returns and cancelled orders - Fully-functional products that leave the HP warehouse and therefore can no longer be sold as new.
    • Damaged products - Products returned because of cosmetic flaws or damage during shipping or a broken part.
    • Overstocks - Items that are returned by the seller to make room for newer product lines.
    • Demonstration - Products have been used as HP demos.
    Depending on the product line, most refurbished equipment starts to show up in HP's remarketed inventory pool about 6-18 months after its introduction date. For instance, a desktop model that was brought to market over 12 months ago may be considered obsolete and not worth the cost to remanufacture, while a server could still provide a lot of value and ample performance 18 months after its initial launch.

    How is a product remanufactured?

    Every HP refurbished product is restored by HP to its original condition and performance. Each item is thoroughly tested, broken or defective parts are replaced, and then test results are re-verified.
    All HP refurbished products are upgraded to meet current performance specifications. For example: ink cartridges in refurbished business printers are replaced with new ones; and the latest software patches are installed.

    When is refurbished better?

    If your IT budget is lean, the HP refurbished businesses products offer high quality, warrantied product at a low cost. For some applications, the latest, greatest technology is a must. In other cases, a remanufactured product is simply a better choice. For example:
    • Some business applications don't require the latest performance.
    • If your company has standardized on a certain platform and "new" production on that platform has been discontinued.
    • Refurbished equipment may offer the best price/performance value for a training room.
    • Software testing may be performed just as effectively using refurbished products as with new.
    • A new and hot-selling product that is out of stock may be available in the remarketed pool due to a return or cancelled order.

    10 years ago, refurbished is a great choice, but with the prices of brand new sets becoming cheaper, I don't think this is practical now.

    But I would still wish you good luck in your business

    Why you should not buy refurbished
    You're taking a chance when you buy any used computer, but the math really doesn't work when you're talking about a unit that's as prone to abuse and problems as a laptop. They're more likely to be dropped, banged around and spilled on, simply because they're out in the world while a desktop computer sits (mostly) safe at home.

    That's why laptops are one of the few products where springing for an extended warranty with free tech support makes sense, in addition to the standard warranty that typically comes when you buy new. Buy used, and you'll have neither option -- along with no idea what maltreatment your laptop has suffered or when the hard drive, optical drive or other important parts will die on you.
