Top 5 Reasons to Use Refurbished IT for Remote Working

Remote work has firmly established itself as an indelible part of the post-pandemic landscape, and not without good reason – with non-existent commuting costs and huge savings on incidental costs like professional clothing and takeout lunches, remote jobs are extremely attractive to those who are in a position to do it.

But a workman is only as good as his tools, and a remote worker needs a good IT equipment in order to hit their maximum potential. Unfortunately, your budget may not always match your requirements, whether purchasing a company laptop to use at home or buying your own as a freelancer. That’s where refurbished IT comes in.

Although many people may initially balk at the idea of a refurbished laptop or a refurbished desktop, the fact is that they are every bit as good (and often better) than brand-new computers. Let’s take a look at the top 5 reasons to use Refurbished IT for Remote Working needs.

Better performance

It doesn’t sound as if it makes any sense – why would a refurbished laptop work better than an out-of-the-box one? – but the fact is that refurbished IT undergoes strict quality control measures before being put out for sale. All hardware and software is rigorously tested and benchmarked, and hard drives are formatted and made good as new. All this extra testing and benchmarking means that a refurb laptop usually runs better than one out of the box.

Better productivity

Better performance means, inevitably, better productivity. Whether using word-processing apps, sending emails, using Photoshop or crunching numbers, a refurbished laptop is going to have the power under the hood to make sure you aren’t slowed down by poor performance or lengthy loading/transfer times.

Higher employee satisfaction

A good laptop means, as we saw above, a higher level of productivity and a higher quality of output. This invariably leads to satisfied employees who are more likely to work harder, get more done, and be generally happier with their working lives as a result. If you’re a freelancer, it means you’re getting through more projects more quickly, which leads to a bigger payday down the line.

Cheaper laptops

One of the obvious benefits of refurbished IT is that, despite its high quality, it’s inevitably cheaper than brand-new products. The benefits to both company bottom lines and the wallets of freelancers do not need to be pointed out, and the costs saved on tech can be pumped back into the business or, if freelancing, ultimately increase the money you’re making.

Lower maintenance costs

Again, this sounds counter-intuitive, but refurbished IT equipment actually need less maintenance in general, since they’ve been through such a strict assessment before being released for sale. Everything in your refurb laptop has been thoroughly tested and, if necessary, replaced with high-quality parts, and that level of care and attention means you’ll have a product that will go the distance.

Refurbished IT: it just works!

And there we have it – when faced with option of going new or refurb, it simply makes sense to go with refurb. Lower costs, lower maintenance, higher productivity and thus higher profits – why on earth wouldn’t you use refurbished IT?
