Refurbished vs New: Quality or performance? Both!
‘You get what you pay for’ – the old phrase still rings true, especially when it comes to IT equipment. Until recently, businesses had to purchase brand new workstations, servers, and IT equipment, to guarantee that products would work out of the box, but times are changing.
In the last 5 years, IT technology has raced ahead at breakneck speed and produced machines that are cheaper and faster to manufacture, but without an according level of reliability. Whilst lower to medium spec equipment cost less, their life span is usually significantly shorter – most modern workstations usually start showing signs of age after just 2 years. High-end machines, such as production environment CAD workstations, are of course far more reliable, but come with a hefty price tag.
Businesses are often faced with a difficult choice – do they choose a low or medium range machine that’s going to fail within 2 years, or do they shell out for the latest and greatest model? The solution lies somewhere in the middle – affordable, reliable, refurbished hardware that delivers on performance without breaking the bank.
