The advantages of a refurbished corporate laptop

When you want to make the most of your budget for corporate computer equipment, purchasing refurbished corporate laptops is an excellent cost-saving strategy. Corporate laptops are designed to deliver greater durability, security and performance than standard consumer laptops. A refurbished business laptop is a device that was originally owned or leased by a corporate customer and has since been restored to the highest standards of quality and reliability. These devices are typically sold at price points that are significantly lower than new models.

At the Dell Refurbished Store, we refurbish the highest quality off-lease systems returned to Dell by our corporate customers and make them available for resale. With a refurbished corporate laptop from Dell, you can stretch your equipment budget farther by purchasing fully functional equipment at a price tag that is significantly less.

Here’s how the refurbishing process for laptops and other computers works at Dell.

  • Selection: As laptops used and leased by our corporate customers are returned to us, we select the highest quality equipment for potential refurbishment.
  • Testing: Each device undergoes detailed testing to confirm that the machine has all the correct components and that each component is functioning as intended.
  • Repair/replacement: Any component that’s not functioning is repaired or replaced to bring the device up to our standard for new products.
  • Data wipe: All the previous owner’s files and information are deleted from the hard drive.
  • Restoration: The system is fully data-wiped according to strict guidelines and the device and all components are restored to factory settings.
  • Cosmetic inspection: We closely inspect each device to identify any cosmetic blemishes like scratches or discolorations. Each device is given a grade to help purchasers know what to expect in terms of the appearance of the device.

During the process, we audit each refurbished laptop or notebook multiple times to make sure that it will meet our exact standards for quality and performance.

FAQs

What kind of cosmetic damage do refurbished corporate laptops have?

Refurbished laptops may have blemishes that include some shiny areas around the keyboard, including the touchpad and/or touchpad buttons. The exterior of the laptop may have some light scratches or other minor blemishes. All the keyboard keys will be in excellent conditions and the cosmetic blemishes will have no impact on the system’s functionality or overall performance.

What are cosmetic grades?

Dell technicians inspect each refurbished device and issue a cosmetic grade. Grade A products are cosmetically pristine or have only light scratches and minor blemishes. Grade B products will have more cosmetic blemishes like scratches and discoloration.

What’s the difference between refurbished, used and off lease?

Refurbished means that a computer has gone through an extensive process of inspection, testing, repair and replacement to restore it to the highest standards of quality and reliability. A used computer, on the other hand, is a previously-owned or leased device that is sold “as-is” – the buyer has no guarantee that the product has been repaired or restored to function at a certain level. Off-lease computers are laptops and desktops that were previously leased to corporate customers who have returned them at lease end.

What's the difference between a corporate laptop and consumer laptop?

Corporate laptops are designed for durability and come with enhanced security features such as biometric authentication and encrypted drives, catering to business use. They often include remote management capabilities for IT departments and prioritize productivity over aesthetics. Consumer laptops, on the other hand, focus on style, multimedia capabilities and are more suitable for general everyday tasks.
