WHY REFURBISHED WINS

7 reasons to buy refurbished.

Better specs, lower price, same warranty. Here’s what you actually get when you buy refurbished from CLS instead of new.

Up to 70% off RRP

A $2,000 Dell Latitude or HP EliteBook for $600–$800. Same i5 processor, same 16GB RAM, same metal build — at a fraction of the retail price. The savings come from depreciation, not quality.

Business-grade build

Metal chassis, spill-resistant keyboards, MIL-STD durability. Consumer laptops at the same price use plastic. Refurbished business laptops from Dell, HP, and Lenovo are built to last 5+ years.

Windows 11 Pro

Every device ships with Windows 11 Pro — not Home. That means BitLocker encryption, remote desktop, group policy, and Windows Defender ATP. New consumer laptops at $800–$1,200 come with Home edition.

16GB RAM standard

Most CLS refurbished laptops come with 16GB RAM as baseline. New consumer laptops at comparable pricing typically ship with 8GB — half the memory for double the price.

SSD guaranteed

Every HDD is replaced with an SSD during refurbishment. Faster boot times, faster file access, better reliability. This upgrade alone is worth $100–$200 on a new machine.

12-month warranty

Same coverage as a new device. CLS pays shipping both ways for warranty claims. Assessment in 2 business days, repairs in 5–8. Full details on our warranty page.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How much can I save buying refurbished?

Up to 70% off the original retail price. A business-grade i5 laptop with 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD typically costs $350–$800 refurbished, compared to $800–$1,200 for a new consumer equivalent or $1,500–$2,500 for a new business laptop with the same specs.

What’s the difference between refurbished and used?

Used means sold as-is with no testing or warranty. Refurbished at CLS means every device passes a 20-point inspection, gets a fresh Windows 11 Pro install, an SSD upgrade, a NIST 800-88 data wipe, and a 12-month warranty. It’s a completely different product.

Why are refurbished laptops so cheap?

Most come from corporate lease returns — businesses upgrade every 3–4 years. These are high-spec machines (Dell Latitude, HP EliteBook, Lenovo ThinkPad) that still have years of life left. The price reflects depreciation, not quality.

Do refurbished laptops come with Windows?

Yes. All CLS refurbished devices ship with Windows 11 Pro pre-installed and fully updated. That’s the Pro edition — with BitLocker, remote desktop, and enterprise security features. New consumer laptops at similar prices come with Windows 11 Home.

What warranty do refurbished devices come with?

12-month hardware warranty on all refurbished laptops, desktops, and monitors. CLS pays shipping both ways for warranty claims. Battery and charger: 1 month. Full details on our warranty page.

What condition grades are available?

Four grades: Premium (like-new, 80–100% battery), Excellent (minor marks, 70–100%), Good (visible wear, 70–100%), and Acceptable (heavy wear, 70–100%). All grades pass the same 20-point inspection and carry the same 12-month warranty. See our grading page for full details.

Is the previous owner’s data removed?

Yes. Software-based overwrite aligned with NIST 800-88 guidelines on every device. In most cases, a brand-new SSD is installed, eliminating any data carryover risk entirely.

Can I see the devices in person before buying?

Yes. Visit our showroom at Unit 25, 16 Loyalty Road, North Rocks NSW 2151. Open Monday to Sunday, 10am–6pm. Or shop online with free shipping Australia-wide and a 30-day change-of-mind return policy.
