What is a Refurbished computer?
A Refurbished computer is a used computer that has undergone a restoration process so that it can be sold again.
Refurbished computers can come from a variety of sources, including customer returns, surplus computers from companies or organizations, or devices used for in-store demonstrations.
The refurbishing process generally involves inspecting the computer to make sure it is working properly, cleaning the device, replacing defective or worn parts, and, in some cases, updating the software.
At Digiplanet all products are reconditioned in our own laboratories, that is, both the hardware and software are updated by a specialized technical team and are subsequently sold with the option memory or disk upgrade.

How long does a Refurbished computer last?
The lifespan of a Refurbished computer can vary depending on several factors, such as the age of the computer, the quality of the parts used in the restoration, and the user's care in keeping the computer clean and well-maintained.
"It is important to remember that, just like a new computer, the lifespan of a Refurbished computer will also depend on the user's usage and care. However, a Refurbished computer can last for several years."
Furthermore, if there is a technical problem with the computer, Digiplanet offers a three-year warranty (except for exceptions, such as batteries), depending on the region.
Does the Refurbished computer come with the previous user's data?
At Digiplanet, the Refurbished computer is clean and fully restored. In this way, the previous user's data is erased from the computer's hard drive.
Additional cleaning and security check services are also offered to ensure the computer is completely clean before it is sold again.
What is the difference between a Refurbished computer and a used computer?
A used computer is sold without any intervention or guarantee of functionality, while a Refurbished computer is reviewed and repaired to ensure it functions properly.
The refurbishing process includes checking all computer components, replacing damaged or defective parts, and generally cleaning the equipment.
Are refurbished computers a more sustainable option?
Yes, refurbished computers are a more environmentally sustainable option than buying new computers.
This is because producing new computers requires significant resources and energy, while reusing used computers reduces the amount of electronic waste that ends up in landfills.
Are refurbished computers a safe option for buyers?
Yes, refurbished computers are a safe option for buyers, especially for buyers looking for a working computer but don't want to pay full price for a new one.
This is because, during the reconditioning process, the equipment goes through a series of rigorous tests and inspections to ensure that everything is working properly.
Any component that does not meet the manufacturer's standards is repaired or replaced to ensure the computer is in proper working condition.
Are refurbished computers compatible with the latest software and hardware?
In many cases, yes, refurbished computers are compatible with newer software and hardware.
However, it's important to check the computer's specifications before making your purchase to ensure it meets your needs.
What are the price differences between refurbished and new computers?
Prices for refurbished computers can vary greatly depending on the brand, model, age and specifications of the equipment.
Overall, refurbished computers are significantly cheaper than new ones, making them an attractive option for those looking to save money.
Can refurbished computers be customized?
Yes, in most cases, refurbished computers can be customized to meet the buyer's specific needs.
At Digiplanet, products have RAM and/or hard drive upgrade options.
Guarantee
Below you can find the answer to some frequently asked questions about warrantyandservice.
Does the equipment purchased have a warranty?
Yes, all equipment available in our store is guaranteed.
Refurbished equipment purchased from January 1, 2022 has a warranty period of up to 3 years, depending on the region.
This period is considered from the date of the equipment invoice and can be exercised upon presentation of the duly completed warranty certificate and/or proof of purchase (invoice).
Furthermore, batteries for refurbished equipment have a 3-month warranty period. If a problem occurs with the battery during this period, you will be able to exercise the warranty period by presenting the duly completed warranty certificate and/or proof of purchase (invoice).
The accessories that accompany the equipment have a warranty period defined by the manufacturer, which, under legal terms, is at least 2 years for individual consumers. This period is also considered from the date of the equipment invoice and can be exercised upon presentation of the duly completed warranty certificate and/or proof of purchase (invoice).
However, it is important to note that there are some exclusions from the warranty. These exclusions include defects caused by abnormal wear and tear, improper installation, bad weather, negligence or accidents, among others. Therefore, if a problem occurs that is not covered by the warranty, we will provide a quote for repairing the equipment.

If the battery is internal and needs to be replaced, it is important that the replacement is performed by an authorized Digiplanet technician in order to avoid violating warranty seals and preserve remaining warranty coverage.
In the case of replacing an external battery, the customer can choose to purchase the battery directly from us or look for an alternative source. However, it is important to note that the use of unauthorized or poor quality batteries may compromise the performance and safety of the computer, in addition to voiding the remaining warranty.
What is the warranty period if there is a repair outside the initial warranty?
If the computer is outside the warranty period, the warranty period for replaced or repaired equipment is 6 months.
However, if the battery is replaced during warranty, the warranty for the new battery will be 3 months from the invoice date.
