We acquire our computers from corporations. Corporations typically lease computers from one to three years. When the lease ends, School Tech Supply purchases the computers from the corporation or the leasing company.
Computers coming out of a corporate environment are usually of the higher end, business line of machines instead of the less robust consumer models (Example: Dell Optiplex machines instead of Dell Inspirons).
For the needs of an educational user, no. Our computers are as new as 6-months old and fully configurable to your needs. We offer everything from lower end Pentium 4’s to the newest Intel i-series machines. We can match your technical requirements with an STS Certified computer. The learning experience for the student is identical to a new computer.
Used equipment refers to computer hardware that was previously owned and is resold with little or no refurbishing work. Machines are turned on to ensure they are operational but no further testing, cleaning or configuring is performed.
Refurbished equipment refers to used equipment that has been tested and cleaned. Processes vary, but usually tests are not performed on the components; a unit that is able to boot to Windows® is considered a pass. Cleaning is done by hand and often excludes the interior of the machine.
School Tech Supply’s Certified equipment must pass a rigorous testing and inspection process. All machines are cleaned inside and out to restore the appearance of the unit. Custom configuration and imaging is also provided at no additional cost.
Internally, the computers are as reliable as the day they left the factory. Our rigorous testing process diagnoses malfunctioning or substandard components which are replaced.
Externally the computers are as clean and restored as possible. While some minor cosmetic damage is unavoidable special care is taken to restore the computers to nearly new condition.
