Refurbished Chromebooks

Benefits of buying a refurbished Chromebook

At Back Market, customers save up to 50% off compared to the price of new on certified refurbished Chromebook models. The best part is, you don't have to sacrifice performance quality in order to save money; all refurbished devices on our marketplace have been fully reconditioned, cleaned, inspected and tested to the same standards as a new one. This is the biggest difference between buying a used or second hand Chromebook compared to a refurbished one.

Buying a reconditioned Chromebook is also an environmentally friendly option. A refurbished Chromebook is often a second hand device that has been restored and updated to meet manufacturer standards, which means you'll be helping to keep old Chromebooks out of our landfills, reduce electronic waste, and minimise your carbon footprint.

What to expect when buying a refurbished Chromebook?

If you're a first time refurbished buyer, you might not be sure what to expect from your purchase. First, understand that your Chromebook may have external cosmetic flaws depending on the condition you choose (Back Market offers devices of Fair, Good and Excellent quality). However, whatever the condition, any external blemishes will not affect the performance of your Chromebook and you can expect your device to perform as if it were newly opened directly from the store.

You should also be confident that your Chromebook is backed by a 1-year warranty, meaning in the rare case that any defects arise (outside of accidental damage) within 12 months of your delivery date, then you're entitled to your choice of a repair, replacement or reimbursement.

What are the main features of a Chromebook?

Undoubtedly, the main peculiarity of Chromebooks compared to any other type of laptop is the operating system they are equipped with. It is, in particular, Chrome OS, a software different from Android, but fully complementary to it thanks to the fact that it was also developed by Google based on the Linux kernel.

Chrome OS is no ordinary operating system. Its operation is based on the cloud and the tools of the Google Drive suite. That is why, to get the most out of it, it is necessary to have a permanent Internet connection . It is true that it offers offline functions, but these are more limited than on other computers.

However, this should not be a problem considering the target audience of Chromebooks. These are compact laptops designed for the tasks we do every day. Remember that on average, 90% of the tasks we perform with a computer are related to browsing the web. And there are few competitors that match the efficiency level of these devices.

What are the most interesting Chromebooks?

Apple retains exclusivity of the macOS operating system for its iMac and MacBook computers. However, although Google also designs its own laptops (since 2013, the Chromebook Pixel), the truth is that it also allows other brands to do so in order to increase development diversity.

That is why in the Back Market Chromebook catalog you will also find such interesting models as the HP Chromebook x360, the Acer Chromebook 311 or the Lenovo Chromebook CT, for example. Laptops that can adapt perfectly to your needs, whatever they are.
