How two refurbished computers changed the family's life

Caetano and Clara are 11 years old. Like all children their age, they love watching their Youtubers and playing games on the computer. 

The parents' computers - well, more precisely the mother's, an old Mac - always ended up in the hands of one of them. And after a few days they were full of games and, sometimes, the parents suspected that they were also full of viruses...

One day they received phones (of course, their parents' old phones). They could now watch the videos and when they grew up a couple of years later they received their first computers. The cheapest in the store.

The first computers

On the first day there was great enthusiasm. Install everything and start watching the videos and playing the games you've been looking forward to. Now they had their own life! Your own computer.

But it didn't last long. First, with use computers quickly became slow. They were always “stuck” in their language. Afterwards, they were so heavy that the mother, worried, let Clara take her Mac to school.

One of the computers in the backpack ended up hitting the floor and breaking, opening defectively. Fragile plastic... that's what happens!

The truth is that within a few months the computers were pushed into a corner and  Caetano and Clara went back to using their mother's Mac.

The school began to increasingly require the use of computers and parents began to think about how they could solve the problem. Parents needed their equipment for work and clearly children needed a solution.

In truth, they didn't want anything super-sonic, but it had to be an agile machine, with some robustness (and not that plastic of the first computers) and not be too heavy!

They went to the usual stores and realized that they could either buy a slow and fragile computer for a low price or buy a more robust computer for double or triple the price. I had to choose.

The solution!

That's when they found out about refurbished computers. A friend explained to them that many companies do with computers what they do with cars. They buy excellent machines at low prices, use them for two or three years and exchange them for new ones.

And when they exchange them, second-hand computers are cleaned, “tuned” and returned to the market…. much cheaper.

It was at that moment that Caetano and Clara's parents looked for offers on refurbished computers in Portugal and found some excellent machine alternatives.

They ended up opting for the HP….. which would have cost them 3 times the price they paid. In other words, the children both ended up with a supercomputer, with a metal base instead of plastic, without a scratch, impeccable and with spectacular performance (SSD disks, latest generation processors, 8 Gb memory)... everything. that an adult could hope for. In fact, I don't hide from you that parents sometimes covet their children's computers...

Nowadays, children take their computers to school without it being an absurd weight in their backpack, they no longer complain about the slowness and they do their schoolwork on their own.

Life has changed a little!!! For the better.
