Refurbished IT for Schools

It’s a fact that non-profit organisations and schools are frequently constrained by the exigencies of their budgets, and so economical spending is not only important, but essential. That’s where refurbished IT comes in. Not only is it perfect for those on a limited budget, it’s also great for schools where – let’s face it – there can be frequent accidents and improper usage of IT (kids will be kids, after all). Let’s take a look at why refurbished IT procurement for schools and non-profits is the way to go, and how companies like Tetrade are uniquely positioned to take care of large projects like refurbishing entire education IT departments.

Why refurb tech for my school?

Refurbished IT is a great choice for kids

As noted, kids can be a handful. Sometimes there are accidents (how many times has your kid dropped a drink or sticky-toffee ice-cream all over a keyboard?) and sometimes there is design (more than one school network has been used for illicit Call of Duty sessions) and so it’s important to account for wear and tear and misuse. Refurbished IT is perfect for this – it’s certified to be up to scratch (more so than standard IT, due to the rigorous testing it undergoes) and it’s generally offered under full warranty in case of mishaps.

Refurbished tech doesn’t stretch the budget

Refurbished IT is every bit as good as its off-the-shelf counterparts, but with a few crucial differences – one of which is the cost. While there is no significant drop in quality (in fact, it’s often better), the fact that it’s been pulled from the shelf or recalled and serviced means that it’s offered at a fraction of the cost of brand-new tech. This makes it perfect for your school or non-profit’s IT department – how impressed is your boss going to be when you manage to stock an entire lab with better-than-new computers for a fraction of the cost?

Full ICT support for schools and non-profits who purchase refurb tech

Generally speaking, all refurbished IT comes with a warranty and a guarantee of ongoing, full support in the event of misadventure with your PCs or laptops. This removes the headache of trying to fix stuff yourself, particularly if you have varied brands or models and are not 100% IT-savvy. You can rest assured of help being available on demand when you need it.

These are just a handful of the reasons why refurbished laptops and PCs are the way to go for your organisation; for a fuller explanation, we suggest you explore our article on the benefits of refurbs versus brand-new products. Why Refurbished IT is better than new.

Running a school IT department? Why not refurbish your education IT suite over the summer?

Time is of the essence when dealing with a logistically complex situation like outfitting an entire IT department, which is why the summer holidays are the perfect time to take care of it. With the kids out of the way and the building quiet, you have a great opportunity to get everything installed and sorted before September rolls around.

But ‘fast’ doesn’t mean ‘hasty’, and when contracting Tetrade to outfit your suite, you can rest assured that their parent company, Nybble, is also on hand to deal with any IT support requirements you may have. So don’t delay over this golden summer opportunity – arrange for your suite refit today!
