Good used laptops with warranty from ESA-Tech.

If you're reading this article, it means you're probably considering buying a used or refurbished Laptop for work, study or leisure. We want to help you with a few points that we think are important in this topic by using our usual question and answer format.

Can used and refurbished laptops be described as affordable?

Yes, we can say that with certainty. Because we offer laptops for every budget and always at a fair price-performance ratio. Let's say a beginner programmer or a photo and video editor who is just starting out in their career and doesn't yet want to afford a latest-generation notebook can get started with a used or refurbished laptop. You can still have a great tool to start a successful career. Nevertheless, it is possible to have a high-quality digital companion and helper for your job or hobby.

Or if you are looking for a notebook for simple daily tasks, such as surfing the web, watching movies or working with simple documents, then you also have a large selection of used business series notebooks to choose from. And the selection here is really large, because all the notebooks available to you in our online store, among others, can fulfill the tasks mentioned above or are sometimes even "overqualified".

If you want, all you have to do is decide which one suits your personal tastes and preferences. Maybe you prefer a laptop made of aluminum instead of plastic. Maybe you want a 2-in-1 notebook (a notebook that can be converted into a tablet). In addition, laptops in the business line often come with little "treats", such as premium speakers from the world's leading brands, like Bang & Olufsen on HP models. And this is often only a small part of the advantages that come with a used or refurbished Business Line Laptop.

We are sure that with cheaper, refurbished laptops, you have access to technologies that are far from obsolete and can help you to learn or build a successful career. And of course, these devices are also ideal companions in your free time or when traveling.

How convenient is it to buy used or refurbished notebooks these days?

Nowadays, a large number of purchases are made online in Germany and this number continues to grow. We think that any purchase on the Internet can be called convenient, because you don't have to leave the house and you can make a purchase around the clock, whether it's a weekend or a holiday. Weigh up what you need and take your time to choose, without annoying advisors trying to sell you something. With online shopping or distance selling, you can place and receive orders without having to leave the house and even if you are not satisfied with something, you can return the goods and get a refund, even if there is no clear problem.

Yes, this does indeed sound convenient. However, in our opinion, there is a big "BUT" when it comes to online shopping for used and refurbished goods. Many positive aspects of buying a used or refurbished laptop online can be put into perspective the moment you open the package with the new used laptop and instead of joy, you experience disappointment at what you see. The color of the device is not quite the same, and the wear and tear on the keyboard is more than expected and there are more scratches than expected and on top of all that the screen has a few dead pixels. Of course, this is an extremely negative example, but it's not completely out of the blue. At such a moment, the entire comfort of the online purchase is equalized and the "inconvenience" begins…

First of all, it is the loss of time that no one can give you back. Unfortunately, the following process should be familiar to almost everyone. You report to the seller that you want to return or exchange the goods, you wait for a reply, you send the goods back and wait for replacement goods if necessary, and if you are unlucky, the whole process repeats itself for the same reasons. In our opinion, subjective categories and rating systems in relation to the condition of used and refurbished goods are not entirely innocent here. Of course, this scenario is the exception rather than the rule and everything can go just as well. But we say with confidence, having analyzed the situation on the market for used and refurbished notebooks in Germany, that such cases do indeed occur. Our offer to you is based on eliminating these unpleasant surprises as early as possible in the process. So that only positivity is experienced and felt when the order is received. This is supported by our unique ESA-Tech - LIFE - PHOTO - VIDEO - service.  We only publish original photos and videos of each Laptop in the product description and do not give any subjective assessments of its condition. Everyone can categorize the condition for themselves using high-resolution photos from a variety of angles, including the interior. With us, you actually buy exactly the goods that you have seen in photos and videos!

And if you still have questions about the condition of the device, we will be happy to answer them as quickly as possible. In our opinion, we make the online purchase of used and refurbished notebooks even more convenient and transparent than it already is.

Is it "smart" to buy a used or refurbished notebook?

Buying a used or refurbished laptop is definitely advisable.

We are not offering something unexplored, something completely new, something that no one has tried before. A large number of people around the world are buying used and refurbished laptops every day, and this trend is getting stronger and stronger.

The positive experiences of buyers are reflected in a large number of reviews of dealers and marketplaces. And when a retailer fulfills its basic obligations to the buyer, thousands upon thousands of reviews from various sellers tell us that buying a used or refurbished notebook is pretty smart.

If the laptop still performs its tasks without any problems, even if there are perhaps a few scratches on the casing and a slightly worn keyboard, this is certainly a reason to save money in our opinion. And it is perfectly reasonable and sensible to use a refurbished laptop for a few years and if you were satisfied with everything, you can buy a new refurbished or used notebook of a newer generation if necessary. In this way, you can use your budget wisely, save money without losing much quality and, last but not least, make a big contribution to the environment. In our opinion, there are no losers in this model of "refurbished hardware", only winners.

Is it profitable to buy used or refurbished notebooks?

Profitable, in fact very profitable! Let's assume someone has a fixed budget for buying a laptop for his or her child to be able to cope with school tasks. You need a laptop with low requirements for simple computer tasks. In this case, this is a no-brainer for a refurbished business line notebook. You might even be surprised to find that you can get by with a lower budget than you actually expected. At the same time, you can get more features or more extras than you originally thought. Therefore, based on our analysis of the German second-hand electronics market, we believe that buying a used or refurbished notebook from us may not have to exhaust your planned budget and you may even end up with something better than you expected.

Buying used and refurbished laptop - is that environmentally friendly?

To be honest, there are so many issues in life that we pay no or too little attention to, but that doesn't mean they don't affect us. These include, for example, the circular economy and environmental and climate protection. At first glance, everything seems quite simple: notebooks are produced, notebooks are used, notebooks are disposed of. But behind these seemingly simple and normal processes lies a very serious issue that affects each and every one of us and will impact our future generations. In our opinion, this topic deserves a closer look and will be dealt with in a separate article.

Is it safe to buy used or refurbished notebooks from you?

Many components of our quality and safety concept, some of which we have already mentioned, such as our unique ESA-Tech - LIFE - PHOTO - VIDEO - service or the fact that our online store was legally checked before it was opened. In our opinion, it is safe to buy something when you can see what you are buying. We think this is particularly important when buying used and refurbished goods. In addition, you have a 12-month warranty and a 28-day right of withdrawal, during the 28 days you can get to know the laptop, and should the case arise that you are not satisfied with your device, you can report it to us within 28 days and we will then take care of the reversal in cooperation with you. Plus, it's always safer to buy from a store that already has a good reputation. We are a young company that opened in 2023 and we are just starting to make a name for ourselves in the German market.
