However, would you rather feel good or would you like to feel smart and have done a bit for a better future. Buying recycled electronic devices ensures that there are fewer toxins and chemicals in landfills along with the fresh chemicals and toxins not consumed to make a new one. It is also much easier on the wallet. Refurbished computers, for example, cost around thirty to fifty percent less than a new one of the same types.<\/p><div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_68_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title \" >Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/products\/buying-recycled-electronic-devices-better-future\/#What_is_a_RecycledRefurbished_Computer\" title=\"What is a Recycled\/Refurbished Computer?\">What is a Recycled\/Refurbished Computer?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/products\/buying-recycled-electronic-devices-better-future\/#Things_to_Consider_Before_Purchasing\" title=\"Things to Consider Before Purchasing\">Things to Consider Before Purchasing<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/products\/buying-recycled-electronic-devices-better-future\/#Where_to_Buy\" title=\"Where to Buy\">Where to Buy<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/products\/buying-recycled-electronic-devices-better-future\/#Research_before_You_Decide\" title=\"Research before You Decide\">Research before You Decide<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/products\/buying-recycled-electronic-devices-better-future\/#Check_the_Warranty_Offered\" title=\"Check the Warranty Offered\">Check the Warranty Offered<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/webtechhelp.org\/products\/buying-recycled-electronic-devices-better-future\/#Become_a_Smart_Shopper\" title=\"Become a Smart Shopper\">Become a Smart Shopper<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_RecycledRefurbished_Computer\"><\/span>What is a Recycled\/Refurbished Computer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A recycled \/ refurbished computer generally signifies that the device was either returned by a customer, failed a quality test and had to be rebuilt, or is part of a canceled order. A pre-owned device, on the other hand, signifies that the device was sold by the user and is secondhand. Pre-owned devices are also refurbished\/recycled by companies and sold at a discounted price. Ryan Morrel from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cjdecycling.com\/\">CJD E-Cycling<\/a> says that you can get good quality laptops and desktops for $100 or less when you shop at a recycled electronics store. The devices sold usually carry a guarantee. However, the period of guarantee would differ at different stores.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Consider_Before_Purchasing\"><\/span>Things to Consider Before Purchasing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on your use, you need to find a device with the required specifications. While people who are into computer gaming would require a device with larger memory and higher processing speed, those who use the device mostly for word processing and surfing could settle for an older model without too many high-end specifications. It can be very tempting to buy a high-end machine so you need to steel your resolve before going into the store.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Buy\"><\/span>Where to Buy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It makes sense to go to a retailer who is qualified to refurbish computers. If you happen to be hardware savvy, you could buy the device in parts and put it together on your own. Computer manufacturers also sell recycled\/refurbished models. Remember to compare the specifications of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/parmyolson\/2018\/08\/22\/back-market-refurbished-iphones-apple-samsung\/\">refurbished device<\/a> with a new one of the same product. If there is a mismatch or if some components are missing, look for another machine. Online purchasing is also an option. However, this comes with the risk of getting a device that may not be up to the mark.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research_before_You_Decide\"><\/span>Research before You Decide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it may be tempting to purchase a super discounted device, you need to find out if the device is worth the price you are going to pay. Search the internet for the price of the same device if sold as a new piece. This should indicate if the refurbished price is worth it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Check_the_Warranty_Offered\"><\/span>Check the Warranty Offered<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Recycled\/refurbished computers are sold with warranties. However, the warranty is limited in terms of time and other features. It is very important to read the fine print before you part with your money. Most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/extended-warranties-neede_b_5673609\">warranties<\/a> should cover a minimum of three months. Some manufacturers selling recycled\/refurbished devices offer a warranty for one year. It is important to understand what aspects are covered under these warranties.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Become_a_Smart_Shopper\"><\/span>Become a Smart Shopper<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Check and then re-check all parameters before you finalize on the device that you wish to purchase. Proper research will help you find a good deal at a great price, while you would also be doing your bit to help the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No doubt flashing the latest model of electronic devices feels good.
