Products & Refurbishment

What is the difference between Grade A and Grade B?

All Grade A and Grade B computers are professionally refurbished, thoroughly tested, cleaned, and guaranteed to be 100% fully functional. The only difference is their cosmetic condition.

Grade A

Grade A computers are in excellent cosmetic condition with little to no visible signs of previous use. They have been professionally refurbished, thoroughly tested, cleaned, and are fully functional. Minor cosmetic imperfections may be present but are typically difficult to notice during normal use.

  • Excellent cosmetic condition
  • Little to no visible signs of previous use
  • Fully tested and 100% functional
Grade B

Grade B computers are fully functional but may show moderate cosmetic wear, including light scratches, scuffs, or other visible signs of previous use. Every Grade B computer is professionally refurbished, thoroughly tested, cleaned, and performs just as reliably as a Grade A unit. Cosmetic imperfections do not affect the computer's performance or reliability.

  • Fully tested and 100% functional
  • May show moderate cosmetic wear, including light scratches or scuffs
