Buying new isn’t as good as buying used pro
Buying a used gamer PC can sometimes scare off some cautious consumers. And rightly so. Questions about warranty, power and hardware quality are legitimate. But this fear sometimes takes on such proportions that we think only of new when it comes to buying quality equipment. But new does not mean quality, especially on a small budget.
With the same budget, it’s impossible to find a brand-new, fully assembled computer with the quality and durability of the Artefact.
Who should you trust to buy refurbished?
If you’ve ever been disappointed by a refurbished smartphone or PC purchase, it’s probably because it wasn’t refurbished to the highest standards. Why not? Because, to date, there are no exact “rules of the art” that are governed by the law!
To find out whether you’re dealing with a reputable service provider, check their IT skills, experience and seniority in the sector, and check the reviews on search platforms.
Thousands of refurbished PCs await
The world of second-hand computers is a special one. Many companies offering maintenance services to their customers impose a condition: all machines must be renewed every 3 years (even if they’re working perfectly well). Why do they do this? Some would say it’s so they don’t have to troubleshoot the machines…
The reality is more complex than that, but it’s clear that colossal budgets go into buying new computers for purely accounting reasons, generating tons of disused computers in the process, when simple maintenance could have kept them running for several more years.
The consequence of this practice is simple: tens of thousands of computers are withdrawn from companies every year, in perfect working order.
Stop accumulating electronic waste!
Buying a refurbished gamer PC means reducing your electronic waste by almost 8kg.
