For manufacturers, it is also possible to make an equitable amount of profit from the sale of refurbished computers in comparison to newly constructed computer systems. The process of refurbishing an essentially solid computer is much less than building a new one from scratch. This makes it possible to offer the refurbished units at a lower rate, but have much less in the way of component costs and labor involved in preparing the unit for sale.

Refurbished products are not a new concept. In times past, typewriters were often offered as refurbished models at a significant discount. Because the typewriters were restored under carefully crafted quality standards, the devices were expected to have a usage life similar to that of a new and previously unused typewriter. The same is true today with refurbished computers.

hello friends, it was sold as a "refurbished" computer, with a OS (Xp Pro), there are 2 log in accounts, personal information related to a email sent for forclosed real estate listings in the area. I went back to the store and spoke with some one there, they told me to bring it back and they will reinstall it. I was told one of there other companies did the work. I was told it was probally bought and returned for warranty issues like a HD. Interesting there is a OS with user accounts and office 07 installed and burn it in installed. it was a cheap box for the specs, oh well returning it and they well "fix the issues". So have to load this big box (hp workstation loaded with 8 gigs of memory and 4 drives and optical drives) back to the store. I swear it weighs about 75 lbs. it was refurbished due to the rest of the manufacturers warranty 1 yr from hp thanks San Mateo Debt Settlement |
