Your first priority is cost-effectiveness. Wholesale computer equipment must cost less than new, but it must also have a lifespan that makes your investment worthwhile. It’s not just used equipment that makes refurbished computers cost less. It’s the fact that companies that obtain refurbished equipment also purchase them wholesale. I.T. Supply Solutions buys entire collections of computer equipment at once, we refurbish them if they’re still up to modern standards, and then we sell them as a bunch.

Consider your return on investment when buying wholesale computer equipment. Laptops should last at least two years. Desktops last as long as you need them to because you can upgrade them more readily with internal hardware. You must also think about replacement batteries for laptops at some point. Refurbished computers offer a greater ROI because they’re already up to modern specs, cost less than new equipment, and could last just as long as new computers if you or your workers take care of them properly.

Computer equipment takes a while to become outdated (we measure six years at I.T. Supply Solutions). Typically, desktops have a minimum lifespan of three years, but they generally last five to eight years across the industry. Desktops are easy to upgrade with newer processors and memory. 

You can upgrade laptops with external thumb drives through the ports available on each machine. This allows you to expand memory and processing power, should the need arise. Cloud-based systems come in very handy for laptops. Depending on your needs, you can easily upgrade the efficiency of wholesale computer equipment even years after you buy it. The longer the equipment lasts, the greater your ROI becomes.

What do you need the wholesale computer equipment for? Refurbished laptops and desktops can easily handle tasks such as email, word processing, web design, social media management, and maintaining a secure connection. More complex tasks may require more computing power. That’s when you should weigh how much an upgrade would cost compared to purchasing used computers.

You absolutely need to get a warranty from certified sellers. I.T. Supply Solutions offers a 90-day warranty on all Microsoft equipment as a Microsoft Registered Refurbisher. This peace of mind is key to your investment decision. If there’s a problem with any of the wholesale computer equipment, we’ll fix it for you or come up with an alternative solution as soon as possible.
