Want to buy a new desktop computer but don’t want to stretch beyond your budget? A Dell refurbished desktop computer might be just the option for you. Staples has a large selection of refurbished computers, read on below to learn more about refurbished options from Dell.
What Is a Dell Refurbished Desktop?
A Dell refurbished desktop computer is a previously used computer that has been returned by the original buyer. After being professionally inspected, cleaned, and repaired if necessary, these refurbished computers are restored to factory settings and sold at a discounted price.
Why Purchase a Dell Refurbished Desktop?
The most obvious advantage to purchasing a refurbished Dell desktop computer is the price. Since these computers have already been taken out of their original box, future users can buy them at a considerable discount, though there’s nothing wrong with the computer’s performance. These devices can be practically brand new if they’re the result of a canceled order. When you purchase a Dell refurbished desktop computer at Staples, you’re buying from a trusted retailer, so you’ll get a 30-day warranty in case you encounter issues. Staples also has a great selection of new Dell desktop computers if you ultimately decide a new machine is better for you.
How to Pick the Best Dell Refurbished Desktop Computer
Finding the best refurbished Dell desktop computer for your situation comes with questions. Do you want a desktop with a computer monitor included? Do you want a touchscreen? Keep in mind what you’ll use your Dell refurbished desktop for. Be aware of the number of ports you require, including how many display, HDMI and video outlet ports you require. Below are other considerations to note.
Processor Type
When it comes to processor type, assess the refurbished Dell desktop’s purpose and how much processing power you require. Staples offers Intel Core processors between i3 and i7. An Intel Core i3 will provide adequate performance for basic tasks. In comparison, Intel Core i7 ensures great performance for demanding tasks, such as video streaming and gaming.
Installed RAM
Staples offers Dell refurbished desktop computers with 4GB, 8GB, 12GB, 16GB and 32GB. A 4GB computer is more than enough to support everyday performance, but if you require a device that can process larger programs for personal hobbies like gaming or for work, you might want something with a little more processing power.
Hard Drive Type
Choose from HDD and SSD for your Dell refurbished desktop computer. An HDD is a hard disk drive. It's made up of many different moving parts and has been used in computers for more than 50 years. It contains more storage space than an SSD and is also usually less expensive. HDD capacity ranges from under 320GB to as high as 4TB.
SSD means solid state drive. This kind of hard drive has no moving parts, which means the desktop will start up faster, run quieter and produce less heat. It will also draw less power from the battery. SSD capacity ranges from 120GB to 1TB. Most users can work with 250 to 320GBs of storage. If you're planning on storing multiple videos on your refurbished Dell desktop, you might want to upgrade to 500GB or even 1TB, which is 1,000 GB.
Environmental
You can purchase environmentally-responsible Dell refurbished desktops at Staples. Eco-certified and eco-conscious desktops have been made with environmentally conscious materials. There are also recycled refurbished Dell desktops available.
