Second-Hand Laptops, But Like New!?

A refurbished laptop may be second-hand, but that doesn't mean compromising on quality. Every refurbished laptop is fully inspected, cleaned, and upgraded with new or reconditioned hardware, such as an Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and a fast SSD. This makes them just as reliable as a new model.

With a 2-year warranty and a competitive price, a refurbished laptop is a smart choice for anyone seeking a sustainable and budget-friendly computer.

Upgrade to a Larger SSD for More Storage!

We offer the option to upgrade your laptop's storage. This ensures you'll have enough space, no matter what you plan to do with your laptop.

More RAM for Enhanced Performance!

Want more memory in your laptop? We can arrange that too! Let us know if you'd like a RAM upgrade, and your laptop will be delivered with extra memory:

16GB RAM

With 16GB of RAM, you can handle all standard tasks like email, web browsing, and streaming Netflix series smoothly.

32GB RAM

If you regularly edit photos or videos, 32GB is recommended. More RAM allows software to process information faster, improving performance for creative work.

64GB RAM

Need to handle heavy tasks or play demanding games like Call of Duty? Opt for a laptop with 64GB RAM, such as a refurbished Dell Precision 5750. This laptop supports up to 2TB of storage, 64GB RAM, and a powerful Intel Core i7 processor.

Windows 11 for Optimal Performance

All our laptops come pre-installed with Windows 11 and fully updated, so you can start using your new laptop right out of the box!

Buying a Refurbished Laptop: What to Look For

When purchasing a refurbished laptop, pay close attention to the specifications. What will you use the laptop for?

Processor: An Intel Core i5 is sufficient for basic tasks, but choose a Core i7 for heavy software.
RAM: 8GB works for everyday use, but 16GB+ is better for multitasking or photo/video editing.
Storage: An SSD ensures fast performance. Opt for at least 256GB, or 512GB/1TB for more space.
GPU: A dedicated GPU like NVIDIA GeForce RTX is ideal for gaming or graphic design.

Whether you need an HP ProBook, a Dell laptop, or a 14-inch touchscreen model, choose one that fits your needs. A refurbished laptop works just as well as new if it matches your requirements.

Why Buy a Refurbished Laptop?

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a second-hand and a refurbished laptop?

A second-hand laptop is resold without any inspection, while a refurbished laptop is professionally checked, cleaned and tested. With refurbished, faulty parts are replaced and you get a warranty.

How much warranty do I get on a refurbished laptop?

At DSL Tech you get 2 years of warranty on a refurbished laptop. Every laptop is also tested on more than 30 points, so you can be sure of a reliable device.

What about the battery of a refurbished laptop?

The battery is a wear part that we always check; we replace it where needed. We state the battery condition so you know what you are buying beforehand.

What does shipping cost and can I pay in instalments?

Orders from €200 are shipped free of charge. You can also pay for your laptop in 3 instalments with in3, interest-free.

What should you look out for when buying a second-hand laptop?

Check the processor generation, because that determines whether Windows 11 is supported. Also request the battery capacity with powercfg /batteryreport, check whether there is an SSD in it and whether the device has been unlinked from the previous owner's Microsoft account.

Do I have a warranty if I buy a second-hand laptop from a private seller?

No. Consumer law governs the relationship between a consumer and a trader, so in a private sale you cannot demand repair or replacement. If you buy from a company, you are entitled to a product that does what you may reasonably expect of it.

What is a fair price for a second-hand laptop?

Take the price of the same model at a refurbished seller as your upper limit and expect to pay thirty to fifty percent below that. That difference is roughly the room a trader needs for inspection, cleaning, warranty and return risk.

How do I check the battery of a second-hand laptop?

Open the command prompt and run powercfg /batteryreport. The report puts the design capacity next to the current capacity; the difference between the two is the wear on the battery.

Can Windows 11 run on any second-hand laptop?

No. Windows 11 requires a supported processor generation and a TPM 2.0 chip. Devices that fall outside that do not get a supported upgrade, and because Windows 10 no longer receives security updates such a laptop is not a bargain.
