Every refurbished laptop we sell is graded A, B or C. It’s a simple system, but it’s worth knowing exactly what each grade actually means before you buy — both from us and anywhere else that uses similar grading.
Grade A — like new
No visible marks beyond very light use — think a laptop that’s spent its life on a desk rather than in a bag. Battery health 85% or above. This is the closest you’ll get to a new laptop without paying new-laptop prices.
Grade B — light wear
Minor scuffs, perhaps a small mark on the lid, maybe slightly worn keys. Fully functional with no impact on performance. Battery health 75% or above. This is where most of our stock sits, and it’s usually the best value — you’re paying for the specs, not the cosmetics.
Grade C — visible wear
Noticeable cosmetic wear — more visible scratches, worn corners, that sort of thing — but tested and fully working exactly like the other grades. If you don’t mind a laptop that looks like it’s been used, this is where the real bargains are.
The grade only ever describes cosmetic condition. Every laptop we sell, regardless of grade, passes the same functional tests and carries the same 90-day warranty.
What grading doesn’t cover
A grade tells you nothing about performance — that’s down to the specs (processor, RAM, storage) listed separately on each product. A Grade C laptop with 16GB RAM will outperform a Grade A laptop with 8GB RAM for anything demanding, cosmetics aside.
Why battery health matters more than the grade
If you’re planning to use the laptop away from a plug socket often, battery health is worth checking closely regardless of grade — it’s listed on every product page, and it’s the one component that naturally wears with age no matter how well a laptop’s been looked after.
