The Story of your IBM Certified Pre-owned laptop

Close [x]

The Story of your IBM Certified Pre-owned laptop

The Certified Pre-owned laptop you buy from IBM.com has been fully tested and certified by trained technicians to verify every major component is in 100% working order.
The first step is receiving thousands of pre-owned laptops every month from corporate and academic environments. Our primary concern is making sure you get a fully functioning laptop, so the next thing we do is inspect every component.

Our inspection and refurbishment process includes but is not limited to:

  • Complete reformatting of hard drive, removing any trace of what the last owner had installed;
  • Full-function testing of hard drive, optical drive, memory, motherboard, keyboard and screen;
  • Examining laptop case and screen condition;
  • Thorough airbrushing, cleaning and paint touch-up so your laptop looks virtually new.


    • We are a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher (MAR). That means we install a MAR edition of Windows operating system on our IBM Certified Pre-owned laptops. When you boot up your laptop for the first time, you'll be prompted to register your operating system with Microsoft.

  • "Slightly blemished" laptops will have minor scratches or nicks on the case or screen;
  • "Scratch and dent" laptops will have more noticeable scratches, faded keys, and scratches or smudges on the screen.


    • Every IBM Certified Pre-owned laptop we sell is backed by our 7-day money back guarantee and 3-month Quality Satisfaction Guarantee.
