Why Refurbished Computers Are a Good Investment

Purchasing a new computer can be a significant investment because technology advances quickly. However, refurbished computers are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative. Leasing a refurbished computer with FlexShopper is a smart choice for those looking to save money.

Understanding Refurbished Computers

Before deciding whether or not refurbished computers are for you, it’s helpful to know what they are and the steps involved in the refurbishment process.

Refurbished Computers Defined

Refurbished computers aren’t necessarily old or damaged. They can be customer returns, ex-demo models, or units that failed quality control due to minor issues. Manufacturers or authorized refurbishers then repair any defects, thoroughly test the units, and sell them at a lower price than new ones. That’s why many ask, “Are refurbished computers good?” The answer typically is yes, as refurbishers ensure they meet all original factory specifications.

The Refurbishment Process

Let’s examine the refurbishing process to give you an idea of why refurbished computers are a good investment. Initially, the computer undergoes a thorough inspection to identify any areas of concern. The refurbisher corrects any hardware issues, replaces parts like the hard drive, SSD, or motherboard if necessary, and updates the operating system.

Further, these computers are cleaned inside and out, removing any dust or dirt that can affect performance. Once refurbishers resolve any hardware issues, they then reinstall the operating system and any original software that came with the machine. Finally, the units undergo rigorous testing to ensure they function as expected.

This comprehensive process ensures that a refurbished computer provides the same level of performance as a new one. However, it comes at a fraction of the price, making refurbished computers a smart choice for those looking to get the most value for their money.

Advantages of Leasing Refurbished Computers With FlexShopper

FlexShopper offers some unique advantages when leasing refurbished computers, making it a truly attractive option for budget-minded tech enthusiasts and businesses.

Flexible Payment Plans

One of the biggest advantages is the flexibility of FlexShopper payment plans. This gives customers the opportunity to pay for their refurbished computers over a set period, thus not having to bear the burden of a hefty one-time payment. It is especially beneficial for small businesses and start-ups who may be budget-restricted and cannot afford to pay a large sum upfront.

Avoiding High Upfront Costs

In addition to flexible payment plans, the ability to lease refurbished computers through FlexShopper helps users avoid high upfront costs. Unlike purchasing a new computer, where you typically pay the full price upfront, leasing allows you to spread out the cost over a period of time.

Warranty and Peace of Mind

Along with cost savings and flexible payment options, FlexShopper offers a year warranty on all refurbished computers. This warranty often covers any repairs or replacements needed within a specific timeframe, ensuring that your investment is protected.

Every refurbished computer sold on FlexShopper undergoes rigorous testing and quality assurance checks, making it a reliable investment. Consequently, by leasing a refurbished computer, you are essentially getting a high-quality, well-performing machine, backed by a warranty and at a fraction of the cost of a new one.

1 If you are approved for a lease this is your estimated weekly lease payment. On this site, we use the terms "lease," "lease agreement," "rental-purchase agreement" and "agreement" the same. (We usually use the term "Lease.") Under your Lease, you can: (a) weekly, biweekly, or monthly payments or exercise an Early Purchase Option pursuant to your payment offer (not applicable in FL, NC and TX) and some restrictions may apply in CA to acquire Ownership of the rented goods or (b) rent the goods for at least the initial term and then end the lease when you want by making all required payments and returning the goods. In NC, the final payment required to purchase the rented goods will be an amount greater than 10% of the Cash Price. If you are approved for a loan the weekly payment is only an estimate. Please review the actual terms in your loan agreement if you are approved. Your rates, terms and payment schedule are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria and may vary by state. FlexShopper provides offers for Lease to Own Options, however, we do not make any loan or credit decisions and are not representative, brokers or agents for any Lenders.

3 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina, the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item. The Cash Price may be higher than the cash price you would pay if you were to purchase the item directly from the merchant shipping the merchandise on FlexShopper and/or affiliates behalf. If approved by another payment option provider the cash price is the invoice amount of the item excluding taxes, shipping and other fees.

5 Good credit is not necessary but not everyone with bad credit is approved. Our goal is to help consumers with not so perfect credit get goods they want through a payment offer that works for you.

7 An initial payment or security deposit and/or payment may be required before fulfillment.

8 If approved by FlexShopper customers that reside in Florida, Texas and North Carolina you will own the item(s) and not have to pay any additional amount if you pay the full Cash Price (the Cash Price is the price we charge for a cash sale of the item (or $50 more than the price the merchant you select charges) plus sales taxes and may be higher than the price you would pay if you were to purchase the item(s) directly; if you rent multiple items at the same time, we reduce the Cash Price (and increase the Cost of Rental) by $50 for the second and each subsequent item you rent, which makes it less expensive to purchase the items before the end of the term of the Lease). After 90 days, you also have an Early Purchase Option that allows you to own your item(s) for less. Simply refer to the table in your Lease to look up the Early Purchase Option amount after each payment date. If approved by another payment option provider please refer to the terms and conditions of your agreement.

9 All lease/loan decisions and rates and terms are subject to approval pursuant to underwriting criteria related to the applicant’s credit quality. Rates and terms may also vary depending upon the state where you reside.
