The Refurbishing Phases

What Does Refurbished Mean?

Refurbished means that a product has been returned to the manufacturer or a third-party vendor for various reasons, such as defects, damages, or customer dissatisfaction. The product is then repaired, tested, and restored to its original or near-original condition, and sold at a lower price than a new one. Refurbished products usually come with a warranty and a quality assurance certificate.

At Rugged Books we offer a wide range of refurbished laptops that are durable, reliable, and affordable.

Renewed vs Refurbished

Renewed vs refurbished is a common question that many people have when they are looking for a second-hand product, especially electronics. Both terms mean that the product was previously used and returned to the seller or a refurbisher, who then repaired and restored it to a working condition.

Renewed products are usually less used and more like-new than refurbished products. They may have been returned by the customer for reasons other than defects, such as changing their mind or finding a better deal.

Refurbished products are often repaired and cleaned by the seller or a refurbisher, who may use generic or compatible parts instead of the original ones. They may not come with the original packaging and accessories, and they may have a shorter warranty than new or renewed products.

The laptop is exactly as I expected - better, in fact.

Questions were answered quickly and I really appreciated the customer support. The laptop is exactly as I expected - better, in fact. Quick shipping. Looks nearly brand new so the refurbishing process is apparently very good. Great product and great service - I will be back for future ruggedized computer purchases.

Exceptionally positive purchase experience! After completing the online purchase I made a couple of requests for modifications and these were met at no extra cost. Everything works perfectly and is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Very happy with my purchase

The staff was very helpful in helping me a tablet that met my needs while being in my price range. I put it through an intense field season this summer and it survived perfectly! Very happy with my purchase, great investment for my research.
