About Buyer Area
How we refurbish
Every laptop, desktop, tablet and monitor goes through the same six steps in our own workshop in High Wycombe before it's listed.
Checked in and logged
Each device gets its own barcode and serial record, so we can trace its history from arrival to your door.
Fully tested
Screen, keyboard, trackpad, ports, speakers, microphone, camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and storage are all checked.
Repaired where needed
Faulty parts are replaced in our own workshop, then the device is tested again.
Data wiped and reinstalled
The previous owner’s data is securely erased and a fresh copy of macOS or Windows is installed.
Cleaned and graded
Deep-cleaned, then graded A, B or C on looks only, so you know exactly what to expect.
Packed and covered
Dispatched in 1–2 working days with free mainland UK delivery and a 12-month warranty from the day it arrives.
Grades explained
Grades describe how a device looks, never how it works. Every grade is fully tested and has the same 12-month warranty.

Screen free of scratches. | Light scratches or scuffs on the lid or base that you can see at arm’s length. Screen clean when switched on. | Visible scratches, scuffs or small dents on the case. Screen may have light marks. Works exactly like A and B. |

FAQ
What does refurbished mean?
A used device we have tested, repaired where needed, securely wiped, cleaned and reinstalled. It works like new and comes with a 12-month warranty.
What is the difference between grade A, B and C?
Grades describe looks only. A is close to new, B has light marks, C has visible wear. All grades work the same and have the same warranty.
Is a refurbished MacBook worth it?
Yes for most people. You get the same Apple build quality for less, and a MacBook Air M1 still handles study, office work and streaming with ease.
How long does delivery take?
Free to mainland UK addresses. Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days. Contact our customer care team and we’ll arrange it.
