Why Refurbished Laptops Are a Smart Choice for Businesses
In today’s competitive market, equipping your team with reliable laptops without overspending is crucial. Refurbished business laptops from brands like Dell, HP, and Lenovo offer up to 40-60% cost savings compared to new models while maintaining performance.
At FS TECH, we specialize in certified refurbished laptops that undergo:
✔ Rigorous hardware testing
✔ OS reinstallation with genuine Windows
✔ Battery and SSD health checks
✔ 90-day warranty (extendable)
How to Choose the Right Refurbished Laptop
1. Prioritize Business-Grade Models
| Brand | Best Refurbished Series | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|
| Dell | Latitude 5000/7000 | Durability & enterprise features |
| HP | EliteBook 800/G-series | Security & long battery life |
| Lenovo | ThinkPad T/X-series | Keyboard comfort & reliability |
Pro Tip: Avoid consumer-grade models (e.g., Dell Inspiron) for team use—they lack MIL-STD durability.
2. Verify Seller Certification
- Look for Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR) or OEM-certified sellers.
- Check for:
- Physical inspection reports
- Fresh thermal paste application (critical for cooling)
- Original charger included
3. Key Hardware Checks
- SSD > HDD: 256GB minimum for Windows 11.
- RAM: 8GB for Office apps, 16GB for multitasking.
- Battery Health: ≥80% capacity (check via
powercfg /batteryreport).
