Investing in refurbished technology can be an intimidating endeavor, especially if you aren’t familiar with specifics in relation to computing technology, laptop lifespans, and a number of different variables that can have an effect on how long you are able to utilize a laptop that is new to you. It is a good idea to have a general understanding of what you are purchasing, how long it will last you, and what potential problems you might encounter during its use.

Cost

One of the biggest benefits of purchasing a refurbished Chromebook instead of investing in a brand-new unit is that you have the opportunity to save hundreds of dollars while still getting high-quality equipment that can help you with work, school, or any other digital needs that you might have for the foreseeable future. 

It may feel like you are buying an inferior product if you are buying equipment that is used, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. All of the products that we sell at Chromebooks R Us have been updated, repaired, and inspected by experienced professionals in the computing business that will ensure that you are getting a high-value unit for your hard-earned money. Make the smart choice and purchase refurbished products from a reliable seller like us. 

Security

It might seem that when you are purchasing a pre-owned Chromebook you are inheriting a product with other people's information on it that could pose a risk to their sensitive information and your security going forward. However, because of the simplicity of Chromebooks and the way that they are designed, you don’t face any enhanced risk by buying a refurbished product. 

Chromebooks are built with security being one of the main areas of focus. At every step of their production, processes are implemented that ensure that outside users are unable to access your information and that websites are unable to download harmful malware or hijack your browsers. You shouldn’t have to worry about your digital security when you are purchasing a refurbished unit from Chromebooks R Us. We take every step that you can imagine to ensure that our customers are protected. 

A Shared Experience

An interesting trend that has become more popular over the course of the last several years is that families are using refurbished Chromebooks as shared laptops for every member of their household. The easy-to-use interface and extensive control over content access and system setting modifications make it ideal for this exact situation. 

Whether you are an adult that is using your Chromebook for work or your child uses it to watch YouTube videos, it can be a useful asset for anyone in your household. Chromebooks feature extensive security and content controls so that they are safe for anyone to use, including children.  

Different Grades

When you are purchasing a used Chromebook, you should feel confident that you are getting what you paid for. Luckily, there are different grades for each unit that can help you get a better understanding of what you are investing in. The grading scale goes from A+ to F and will help you determine what is the best option that will help fit your digital needs.

“Grade D” Chromebooks are typically inexpensive, even starting at around $50. They may be slightly worse for wear, but you will still receive a functioning unit that can provide you with the basic level of services that you need out of a cheaper computer. “Grade A” Chromebooks are practically brand-new models. You will be looking at a price range of $125-$150+ dollars, but your investment will be worth it. This is the closest that you can get to a new model without spending the full amount on a device that is straight out of the package.  

Each of these options are beholden to Auto Update Expiration, but these don’t generally affect those that are using these units for everyday tasks. 

Gaming

Not everyone has immediate access to large televisions that they can use to play the latest game releases. Fortunately, Chromebooks are built with this in mind and are easily compatible with programs like Google Stadia and Nvidia GeForce. You may be streaming from a separate device, but you can play browser-based games, android applications, and all sorts of other programs on your unit without sacrificing performance or graphical fidelity.

Unfortunately, basic Chromebooks won’t be able to handle more intensive programs on their own, so connecting them to another device like a gaming console might be a necessity if you are looking to play the latest releases. But, even refurbished units are easily compatible with countless modern systems and devices, so you can likely connect them without any issues. This allows users to keep up with the most recent games and applications without needing to spend thousands of dollars on high-end gaming computers. Most controllers and audio devices are also easy to connect by using Bluetooth which comes standard with almost every Chromebook. 

Use It for Less Intensive Tasks

If you are purchasing a new or used Chromebook, odds are that you are not going to be utilizing it for incredibly intensive tasks. Modern units run efficiently, but they are not necessarily made to be used for things like graphic design or other situations that require a hefty amount of computing power.

Refurbished Chromebooks are commonly bought with the intention of using them as a shared unit for easy access to the internet or something like a communal media player that can be easily hooked up to a television or streamed directly to another computer or media device. They are also frequently used as a source for streaming music if you prefer to listen to your albums, podcasts, or audiobooks without headphones with an easy and accessible user interface. There are a number of different and unique ways that you can utilize your Chromebook and get quite a lot of value out of it at a low price!

Modern computers can easily get expensive. This is especially true if you take into account different security features, storage upgrades, and other bells and whistles. If you are looking for a simple device that everyone in your household can use on a frequent basis with ease and that can provide you with numerous benefits, a refurbished Chromebook from Chromebooks R Us is the right choice for you. We stand by the quality of our products and, in the event that you experience issues with your unit, we will do our best to make it right and ensure that you receive what you paid for.
