Experience the Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR) Difference

Refurb.io is a proud Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR). A MAR is a company that Microsoft has authorized to refurbish and sell used computers with genuine Windows OS installed. These companies undergo a thorough certification process to ensure they meet Microsoft's standards for refurbishing computers.

MARs perform a variety of essential processes that Microsoft has evaluated, including cleaning, testing, and repairing computers to ensure that every computer functions as initially designed. 

As a MAR, we can provide genuine copies of Windows 10 or 11 with every computer we sell. In addition, our Windows desktops include a Certificate of Authenticity or Genuine Microsoft Label indicating that it’s coming from a MAR-certified refurbisher, which you won’t find from used or non-certified refurbishers.

Our refurbished desktops are often sold at a fraction of the cost of a factory-new computer, making them an affordable option for individuals, businesses, and schools. Additionally, buying a refurbished computer can be an environmentally friendly choice as it extends the life of a computer that might otherwise end up in a landfill.

Refurb Desktops for Personal or Business Needs

Choosing a refurbished desktop is an excellent way to save money while still getting a reliable computer without the factory-fresh markup. Here are a few ways to pick the right refurbished desktop for your needs and price range:

• Choose a reputable refurbisher: Look for a refurbisher certified by the original manufacturer or by a third-party organization such as Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR). These certifications make sure that your next refurbished desktop has been thoroughly tested and repaired to function as originally designed.
• Evaluate the tech specifications: Make sure the refurbished desktop has the specifications you need for your intended use. For example, do you need a computer capable of handling resource-intensive tasks? Or will you only need it to handle typical business applications? Consider each option’s processor, RAM, storage, graphics card (if applicable), and available peripherals to find the suitable model to fit your needs.
• Find a computer with a warranty: A warranty or guarantee gives you peace of mind that the refurbished desktop will work adequately and reliably. Check the length and terms of the warranty to ensure it meets your needs. Additionally, be aware of the warranty’s limitations and any exceptions.
• Read reviews: Look for reviews from other customers who have purchased refurbished desktops from the same refurbisher. This can give you an idea of the refurbisher's quality and customer service. Find reviews both on the refurbisher’s site and third-party marketplaces.
• Keep your budget in mind: One of the primary reasons you should consider a Dell, Lenovo, or HP refurbished desktop is to make the most of your budget. For personal or business use, compare all available options to find a reliable computer with a warranty and the proper specifications to maximize every dollar.

You can find a refurbished desktop that meets your needs and provides reliable performance at a fraction of the cost of a new computer by carefully considering each of the above tips.

Buy Bulk or Individually to Take Your Budget Further 

We offer budget-friendly desktops that are ideal for businesses needing to equip an entire workforce, or you can buy one at a time and still receive a great deal. Whether buying in bulk or individually, you’ll receive a thoroughly inspected and warrantied desktop that comes with a genuine version of Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Don’t pay the factory-fresh markup and spend more for the same machine. Purchasing a refurbished desktop computer lets you sidestep the markup while still receiving a thoroughly inspected computer. Every desktop we sell has been thoroughly inspected so you can take your money further.

Used vs. Refurbished Desktop: Crucial Differences to Know

A refurbished desktop and a used desktop are similar in that they have both been previously owned. However, there are some critical differences between the two that highlight why a refurbisher is your best option:

• Tested and repaired: A refurbished desktop has been tested and restored to its original condition. Our computers are thoroughly tested to ensure they function correctly, and any defects or issues are fixed before they are resold. A used desktop may not have undergone any testing or restoration and may have defects or issues that the seller is unaware of or not disclosing.
• Warranty included: Many refurbished desktops come with a warranty or guarantee from the manufacturer or the refurbisher. Depending on the warranty, you’ll be covered if there are any issues with the computer and can have them repaired or replaced for free or at a reduced cost. On the other hand, used desktops are sold as-is with no warranty or guarantee.
• Updated software and firmware: As part of the refurbishing process, the desktop may receive updated software, drivers, and other components. This can make the desktop faster, more efficient, and more secure than a used alternative. However, used desktops may not have received any updates and may have outdated software and components.

A refurbished desktop is likely a better investment than a used desktop since it has been tested, restored, and updated to meet the original manufacturer's specifications. Additionally, the warranty or guarantee often comes with a refurbished desktop providing peace of mind that we have you covered.
