Why buy refurbished at IBO Computers?
Every device we sell is fully inspected and tested: hardware, battery, display and ports. If something does not perform as it should, we replace the part or the device does not leave our workshop. Cosmetically there may be light traces of use, in line with a business machine starting its second life.
That means you pay considerably less than the price of a new device while getting the same business-grade quality. You also choose the reuse of high-quality IT equipment, which saves a substantial amount of raw materials and CO₂ compared to buying new.
Warranty, delivery and support
Warranty is included as standard, and the matching power adapter comes with the device. Order before 16:00 on a working day and your order ships the same day. If you have a question after your purchase, our own technical department helps you out — we repair in house, down to component level.
