The value of an offlease computer

When you’re ready to buy a computer but don’t want to pay the top price for a brand-new model, consider an offlease computer from the Dell Refurbished Store.

Our offlease computers are devices that were previously leased to corporate customers. When the lease ends and the systems are returned to us, we select the highest quality machines and meticulously refurbish them, restoring them to the highest standards of quality and reliability. With off-lease desktops, laptops, all-in-ones, monitors, servers, and workstations from Dell, you get a high-quality, fully functional computer with a warranty and a service plan – at a price that’s considerably lower than a new model.

What is a refurbished, offlease computer, exactly?

Offlease computers from the Dell Refurbished Store are systems that have been leased to a corporate customer for 2 to 4 years, typically. Here’s what to expect when you purchase an offlease computer.

  • Excellent quality: Our offlease laptops, desktops, monitors, and other equipment are put through a comprehensive refurbishment process that involves careful inspection, extensive testing, thorough repair or replacement of parts, and a full audit to ensure that the devices meet stringent specifications.
  • Some cosmetic imperfections: Because these systems were previously used by other customers, they may have a few scratches, some discoloration, or other blemishes on the exterior. However, these cosmetic issues in no way diminish the performance of the computers.
  • A warrantied device: We back all of our offlease computers with a limited warranty that covers defects in workmanship and materials for 100 days. For greater peace of mind, you may opt to extend the warranty to one year at checkout for an additional cost.
  • Returns within 30 days: Our return policy allows you to return your offlease computer within 30 days of the invoice date to obtain a store credit, less any shipping and handling charges. (A restocking fee may apply, depending on the reason for return.)
  • A preconfigured system: Because these devices have been thoroughly tested and repaired, we are unable to upgrade parts or customize the device before it is shipped to you.

Dell’s refurbishment process for offlease computers

Our process for refurbishing offlease computers involves multiple steps to restore each device to a set standard for quality and reliability.

  • Selection: Our team inspects every offlease computer returned to us by a corporate customer and designates the best systems for refurbishment.
  • Testing: We perform extensive functional tests to make sure all the computer’s components are present and functioning well.
  • Repair or replacement: When parts aren’t working or don’t meet our standards, we repair or replace them.
  • Full data wipe: We erase all the previous user’s data and files in accordance with strict guidelines for sanitizing digital media.
  • Factory reset: We reset all components and hard drives to original factory settings.
  • Cosmetic grades: After closely inspecting each device, we issue a cosmetic grade that indicates how much damage is visible on the exterior of the computer.
  • Auditing: Throughout the refurbishment process, each computer is audited multiple times to make sure it will meet our standards for quality and performance.

The advantages of a refurbished offlease computer

When you buy refurbished computer equipment from the Dell Refurbished Store, you can realize several key benefits.

Top value

Our offlease computers represent remarkable value, providing excellent performance at a price point that is significantly less than a new model of the same caliber. With Dell offlease computers, you can either save a good bit of money or get a much more powerful computer at a great price.

Proven performance

Because our offlease computers have been in the marketplace for several years, it is easy to find professional and user reviews that document the performance of these devices over time.

A green purchase

At Dell, refurbishing computers is part of our commitment to creating a more sustainable way to manufacture and use consumer electronics. Our refurbishment efforts help to keep thousands of tons of electronic waste (e-waste) from being sent to landfills each year. Your purchase of a refurbished, offlease computer provides peace of mind that you are doing your part for the planet.

Dell’s cosmetic grades for refurbished devices

When you shop for offlease computers at the Dell Refurbished Store, you’ll notice that each device is given a cosmetic grade of A or B. These grades are assigned to each computer at the end of the refurbishment process, and they reflect the amount of damage that the machine has incurred during its original lease.

  • Grade A computers are in very good to pristine cosmetic condition. They may have a few light scratches or minor blemishes but are otherwise in excellent shape.
  • Grade B computers have more cosmetic blemishes such as scratches, discoloration, or shiny keys and shiny spots around the keyboard.

While Grade B products are typically priced lower than Grade A machines, none of the cosmetic damage to any machine will affect its performance.
