What’s so great about refurbished IT hardware?
Well, aren’t we glad you asked! Refurbished IT hardware is great because you can save up to 80% compared to new and it’s great for the environment since you don’t need to mine new raw materials to create it. It’s as good as new - often the hardware has only been used for a few months and all hardware is thoroughly tested and comes backed with a three year warranty. Why wouldn’t you choose refurbished?
