Let’s delve into the different grades of asset refurbishment and why they matter.
What are refurbished grades?
Refurbished laptops and desktops are pre-owned devices that have been inspected, repaired, and restored to ensure functionality. At OCM Store, we categorise our products into the following grades — New, Grade A, Grade B, and Grade C — so you know exactly what to expect when purchasing:
New
Brand-new items with the manufacturer's seal intact, ensuring an excellent condition.
Grade A
High-quality, fully functional items at exceptional discounted prices.
- No broken parts.
- Minimal, barely noticeable cosmetic scuffs or scratches on the casing.
- Slight signs of previous use, such as minor wear on keys, mousepad, mouse buttons, or palm rest area.
Grade B
Understanding Our Terminology
- Wear and Tear: Indicates reasonable use, such as faint marks on the casing.
- Scratch: A visible line or mark upon close inspection.
- Scuff: A mark approximately the size of a thumbprint.
