Refurbished Tech Buyers Guide

As New Zealand’s experts in quality refurbished technology, we want to help you cut through the jargon. When operating on a strict budget, focus on quality and essential hardware components to maximize speed and durability.

HungryPC Certified Renewed ✅

Quality, working devices sourced typically at the end of business leases from managed environments. Rather than salvaging faulty devices for refurbishment, we focus on renewing high grade devices through comprehensive cleaning, 48 Hour QA testing and upgrading to give these devices a true new lease on life. You’ll benefit from superior longevity and performance than that of most other used devices.

Other Pre-Owned or “Refurbished” 🤔

Generally refers to a product that was previously owned and operated, then resold second-hand. There is no guarantee a used device was ever serviced, inspected or tested internally, or that all of it’s functions are working optimally as there are no official standards for refurbishment. Often lacking any future-proofing due to lower specs, or unseen issues such as dust and debris blocking cooling systems.

Other Ex-Lease or Off Lease 🏢

These devices typically were used by a corporate business customer for 3-5 years and then returned at the end of their lease period for replacement with newer models, as businesses are on a routine replacement cycle for their IT Assets. Often these devices are resold ‘raw’ or as-is for enthusiasts or technicians to refurbish, test and upgrade as they see fit.

In the world of ex-lease and refurbished machines, especially running Windows 11, the processor’s generation matters. Windows 11 requires at least 8th Generation to be fully compatible.

Business Grade Advantage: Our refurbished stock is usually comprised of business-grade units (Dell OptiPlex, Latitude, HP EliteDesk, ProBook, Lenovo ThinlCenter, ThinkPad). These models are built with far superior internal components and chassis materials than standard consumer devices, offering unparalleled durability.

Focus on Modern Models: Look for Intel processors that are 8th Generation or newer (e.g. Intel Core i5 8250u). These generations often include better integrated graphics and power management, which significantly boost everyday performance.

Random Access Memory (RAM) is where your computer stores information for current tasks (browsing, streaming, working on documents). If you run out of RAM, your computer can grind to a halt.

Multitasking Standard: For anything other than Chromebook’s 4GB of RAM will struggle with modern web browsing and running more than one application. Aim for 8GB to 16GB of RAM to ensure a smooth, frustration-free experience for studying, streaming, and essential work tasks.

Future-Proofing: While 16GB or more is ideal, an 8GB unit still provides sufficient headroom for current operating system requirements and general day-to-day usage. If you want a machine that is more future-proof or when opening multiple applications / browser tabs at the same time, consider a unit with at least 16GB RAM.

The single most critical factor for a fast and enjoyable user experience is the hard drive type. When shopping for a cheap computer, you must insist on a QUALITY Solid State Drive (SSD).

Our Recommendation: 128GB is really too small for most people, as Windows its self will take up a large majority of this. 256GB SSD is okay for basic use, especially if you don’t have a lot of Photos or Videos, and can make for a good low-cost option. If you want to store lots of data, especially Photos and Videos we recommend 512GB to 1TB. You can also always use external storage to offload any files you don’t frequently use to save some space and $$.

Speed Over Size: Even an older computer with a better quality, fast SSD will feel much smoother for daily tasks (booting up, opening browser tabs, loading apps) than a newer machine with a slower drive.

Durability: SSDs have no moving parts, making them far more reliable and resistant to drops or bumps. A significant advantage for travel and portability.

Quality: An over-used or low-quality SSD will be prone to very slow read and write speeds, or worse yet, complete failure. We only install drives from leading brands (not cheap imitations) which are then individually tested for health and performance to ensure better longevity, and value for money.

Confidence is key when investing your money in buying a laptop or PC. When you choose an affordable computer from Hungry PC, you are choosing guaranteed peace of mind, and unbeatable quality.

Proudly New Zealand Owned: You’re supporting a local, trusted Kiwi business that’s providing premium service since 2016. See what our customers say.

Refurbished Desktop PC FAQs

At Hungry PC we source quality, ex-lease business grade tech, not just old e-waste! Every unit is individually tested and cleaned, inside and out, with worn components replaced or upgraded as necessary to bring these systems a new lease on life. Used tech devices require a high level of professional servicing to ensure longevity and give you the best value possible. Our expert technicians with over 15 years experience place an extensive QA process to ensure the physical hardware is operating effectively as close to new as it can be. Often due to our processes, the upgrades we fit to these desktop and tower PCs make them function better than when they were brand new.

Why risk the problems of a completely unknown condition, pre-owned device that has never been serviced? You get much better value, longevity and certainty from a properly refurbished device.

Not all refurbished tech is the same, experience our difference and see how we grade our systems here

Simply select your preferred option from the Accessories / Upgrades section and we’ll ensure your machine is fully loaded with your ideal Operating System choice.

This program rewards our loyal customers the benefit of cheaper repairs on any out of Warranty services required including accidental damage to the device, etc. Extend your warranty with us and we increase this discount program for the usable lifetime of the device.

Businesses demand reliability and usually take care of and maintain equipment to a high standard throughout their life. We’ve fully refurbished these machines after coming off lease, from use in a corporate environment.

Through refurbishment each machine is individually checked, and thoroughly tested in house. We then find our refurbished machines have a very low failure rate, even compared to when they were new. This is because factories do not often test each unit individually. In our experience these units will perform as good, if not better than when they were new.

Buying refurbished not only saves you money, by getting a better computer at a cheap price. It also supports a sustainable environment and reduces landfill, which we think is awesome!

Since buying a Refurbished PC can save you a lot of money and provide excellent performance, we feel they are a great idea not only for your bank balance, but also for the environment. By reducing ewaste and keeping these devices from landfill, we repurpose and renew them, to ensure they can bring a great deal of enjoyment to someone who is looking for a machine that can fit into any budget.

We strive to source the highest quality, business grade, ex-lease equipment. Instead of selling ordinary consumer grade equipment, we focus on machines that are designed for the corporate world. These computer systems have higher build quality, more reliable parts, and typically more powerful specifications. After our extensive testing process, we can be sure the machine will last the test of time. We have had many customers return to us and buy computers years after their first purchase, as they were impressed with the reliability and want to upgrade to their next, newer, fancier and faster machine.

We try to make things super simple, once your machine arrives you’ll find a FREE WiFi Adapter included in the package, alongside a Power Cord. Next steps are to simply connect these along with your Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor into the unit. You can either use your existing Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor to effectively treat our refurbished PC as an “Upgrade Box” or these can be purchased as an extra with your order. Check out our range of accessories here.

Once you have everything connected, you can turn on the machine and enjoy it, the rest has been done for you already, operating system will be loaded, ready for you to connect to your WiFi and install your programs, check your emails and browse the internet. Easy!
