12 Years of Computing for Just $250

One of our customers, who receives a disability support pension, has purchased three refurbished computers from us over a 12-year period — spending only $250 in total. That’s a saving of several thousand dollars compared to buying new systems.

Environmental and financial benefits

Beyond personal savings, choosing refurbished equipment supports sustainability by extending the lifecycle of manufactured goods. Computerbank installs the Ubuntu operating system and open-source applications on each computer, eliminating licensing costs.

Proprietary operating systems require expenditures of approximately $300 every few years for updates and security software. With our Linux-based systems, that cost is zero — forever.

Repeat customers like this one benefit from both affordability and environmental responsibility through refurbished computer purchases.
