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 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, also full of viruses...

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

The first computers

On the first day, there was great excitement. Setting everything up and starting to watch the videos and play the games they had been eagerly waiting for. Now they had their own life! Their own computer.

But it didn't last long. First, with use, the computers quickly became slow. They were always "freezing," in their language. Then, 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 ground and broke, causing it to open defectively. Fragile plastic... that's what you get!

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

The school started to require the use of the computer more and more, and the parents began to think about how they could solve the problem. The parents needed their equipment for work, and clearly, the children needed a solution.

Actually, they didn't want anything supersonic but it had to be an agile machine, with some robustness (and not that plastic from the first computers) and not 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. A choice had to be made.

The solution!

That's when they learned 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 then trade them in for new ones.

And when they are exchanged, second-hand computers are cleaned, "tuned up" and returned to the market... much cheaper.

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

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

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

Life changed a bit!!! For much better.
