What can I expect from my refurbished gaming laptop?

Gaming laptops are in their own lane when it comes to the computer market today. They provide power comparable to desktop computer drivers, with enhanced components for the benefit of gaming performance, such as video cards, and higher core-count CPUs.

A gaming computer is built to maximize performance while gaming, but can also be a great choice for users with other high RAM usage requirements, such as graphic designers and other creatives. Thanks to the top-quality graphics cards that gaming laptops offer, you can count on the highest quality visual experience, to go along with the quick processing times.

Thanks to the professional refurbishment process that all Tech Trade models undergo, our refurbished gaming laptops have all their initial power and capabilities restored, with batteries, and other core parts replaced and revitalised. So, you can get all the benefits of these top-of-the-range computers.

What is the refurbishment process for gaming laptops?

All our refurbished gaming laptops are extensively tested to diagnose any faults. This includes full hardware and software checks. We also do an internal and external clean to remove build-ups of dust and dirt. Our professional technicians then replace and repair any faulty elements to ensure the machine is in proper working order and restored to full functionality.

 We also make sure to wipe all the hard drives and restore them to factory settings. So, when you use your laptop for the first time, it’s as if you’re the first person to ever use it.

Is a refurbished gaming laptop worth the money?

In a nutshell, yes. In fact – by buying a refurbished gaming laptop as opposed to a new one, you stand to save a lot of money. That means you can get all the high CPU, RAM, and battery capabilities that a gaming laptop provides, without shelling out for the cost of a new machine. Not to mention the cost of some high-end hardware used in gaming laptops. Buying a second-hand laptop is always cheaper, even if the graphics card has been replaced and is good as new.

Is a second hand gaming laptop right for me?

If you’re wondering whether a second hand gaming laptop is the right choice for you, there are a few key factors to consider. Gaming laptops have above average CPU and RAM capacity, and advanced graphics cards too. So, if you’re looking for a computer that has these high performance capabilities, like for gaming, this is undoubtedly the choice for you. With a gaming laptop, you’ll get higher performance than Apple computers, and other leading brands.

However, if you’re not looking for this enhanced graphics performance, with less desired usage, a MacBook may be a better option for you. Or if you want even more performance for your home set up, invest in a full PC gaming bundle, from brands like Alienware.

New vs refurbished gaming laptops

The key difference between a new and a refurbished laptop, is that the new laptop has not been previously owned. Meanwhile, a refurbished laptop is second hand, but has undergone renovations and checks to restore its performance to a high standard.

So that means, in many ways a professionally refurbished gaming laptop is not that different from a new one, especially given that each model is reset to factory settings, with the hard drive wiped, as part of the refurbishment process.
