Computer Aid: refurbished devices at low prices

Purchasing refurbished computers can be beneficial in terms of cost and the environment. The price of a refurbished machine can be up to 80% cheaper than a brand new one. And 80% of the energy used by a computer is expended during its manufacture; increasing its life decreases the impact on the environment.

Our partners at Computer Aid offer great prices for members of the National Digital Inclusion Network. Their offer includes professionally refurbished laptops and desktop computers. You can use these in your hubs or as an affordable option for the people you support.

Laptops range between £65 and £190 (for the highest spec device) and desktops are between £55 and £120, plus delivery fees.

You can read more about the computers they supply on their website.

“The end-to-end service is excellent. The laptops are always value for money. I would absolutely recommend it.”
