A refurbished computer<\/a> is one that has been previously used and is resold at a lower price than a brand-new product. Prior to resale, the device undergoes professional inspection and any necessary repairs. While it\u2019s possible to buy a refurbished device for personal use, many businesses purchase them at discounted pricing. This arrangement allows them to buy their IT assets<\/a> in bulk to support an entire office or group of employees working remotely. There are several compelling benefits to purchasing wholesale refurbished computers for your company.<\/p>\n IT assets are considerable investments. Even at wholesale prices, brand-new devices can be costly. Purchasing laptops or desktops that are just a couple of years old can significantly reduce<\/a> this expenditure. In many cases, a refurbished asset which has been professionally inspected, repaired, and can support an up-to-date operating system will meet all of your employees\u2019 needs, but will cost roughly a fifth of the price of a new device. With a mid-sized to large workforce, there are tremendous savings to be had for savvy companies looking to minimize their overhead costs.<\/p>\n Currently, 20 to 50 metric tonnes of e-waste<\/a> are discarded annually, and only 16%<\/a> of unwanted technology is recycled. Producing electronics has a significant environmental impact<\/a>: the manufacturing, packaging, and transporting of these items all contribute to greenhouse gas emissions<\/a>. In fact, producing just one desktop computer uses 240 kg of fossil fuels<\/a> and 1,500 kg of water, among other resources such as precious metals<\/a>, making these assets more draining on the environment than much larger items such as cars and refrigerators.<\/p>\n Recycling<\/a> significantly offsets the use of these resources. For instance, investing in refurbished laptops can reduce the need for primary metal production by 41%<\/a> compared to purchasing new. By using refurbished products, your company can drastically reduce your company\u2019s carbon footprint<\/a> and take a more environmentally conscious route to sourcing your IT assets.<\/p>\n In addition to purchasing refurbished computers for the office, you can also invite employees to partake in the benefits for their home devices, too. Companies that use Quantum to manage their end-of-life<\/a> IT asset disposal<\/a> can offer an employee discount for refurbished devices<\/a> through the Qnovum<\/a> retail store. This discount can go a long way in boosting employee satisfaction. Happier employees aren\u2019t just nice to have, either: research suggests increased job satisfaction is linked to key organisational outcomes<\/a>, including decreased turnover and better business results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A refurbished computer is one that has been previously used and is resold at a lower price than a brand-new product.
