4 Reasons Why Our Second-Hand Computers Are A Great Option
In recent years, our refurbished computers have been the absolute best option for schools because:
1. You Help the Environment
At PCs for People, we recycle and refurbish computers to provide valuable services to schools.
Repurposing computers also helps keep our planet clean by minimizing electronic waste that goes into landfills.
Our computers are collected through a certified and secure recycling system. This ensures privacy and data security through our NAID AAA certified process before distribution.
2. They are Affordable
Your school’s finances do not have to take a hit. Also, parents do not have to be burdened by the cost of buying laptops for their children. Purchasing our refurbished computers is the perfect solution because you will save money compared to buying a new device.
PCs for People is also a participating provider in the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides a $100 device benefit discount for eligible customers.
3. Reliability
PCs for People is a reputable company that will ensure your school is provided with professionally restored computers. Our computers are high-quality devices that will serve you through many lessons for years to come.
Our computers will make it easy for your school to transition into remote learning and virtual classes. Also, students can connect globally and learn how to exchange ideas with others from other countries.
4. You Become Part of a Circular Economy
Engaging in the circulation of recycled computers means that your school will benefit by consuming less and more responsibly. This will create a systemic change through such sustainable programs that the school can engage in as part of community development.
Why Technology is Important for Schools
Using laptops in classrooms helps speed up and enhance certain processes. For example, students can use computers to develop materials, manage information, communicate, and conduct research.
Having computers as part of the classroom technology tools will also give students access to a huge wealth of information through sites and apps such as YouTube and other media platforms.
PCs for People offers affordable tech alternatives for schools to ensure that students are supplied with unlimited resources for learning. Using computers will also make educators’ jobs easier, more accessible, and more flexible.
What Are The Important Factors To Consider Before Buying Used Computers?
Here are the most important factors to consider:
Software. Good open-source software and other features allow teachers to use high-end, affordable interactive software.
Warranties and Returns. Our laptops have a one-year hardware warranty and a 30-day return policy to make sure our customers are supported in their purchases.
Memory. A laptop with a good memory will help you to create technology-rich classes and help you to integrate different subjects, devices, concepts, and gadgets. Also, kids can engage in writing, play, and learning for several hours on their tablets or laptop.
Storage. Our computers come with different-sized RAMs, depending on the price. Buying the right size of RAM will allow students to watch and download all content without worrying about space.
Processor. The options are endless when it comes to CPUs. A sound processor should allow for easy browsing.
Budget. PCs for People offers great deals on laptops and desktops, which puts us on top of the list of companies you should consider.
Operating system. A computer with a powerful OS will enable students to take notes, stream shows, and create presentations quickly and easily.
