I am buying “refurbished” kit. What does that mean?
Our refurbished equipment isn’t brand new, it just looks and operates that way. Your refurbished item was originally owned by a large corporation or agency. Our parent company Sims Lifecycle Services, contracts to take that equipment and completely wipe it of all existing data. Then they pass the equipment over to MyDigitalTech. We take the equipment, thoroughly clean it inside and output it through an enhanced test to ensure that it’s good for sale. Where applicable, we’ll install a new operating system and deliver it to you ready to use straight out of the box.
What can a new computer do that a refurbished one can’t?
Depending on what one you buy….Nothing! Refurbished laptops and desktops are great for browsing the Internet, home office work and watching streaming movies and television, some of them are even powerful enough to run large programmes like Photoshop. By choosing a refurbished computer you are getting a great piece of equipment at a bargain price.
Will my computer arrive ready to use?
Yes! We are a Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher, so your computer will arrive installed with a genuine Windows operating system.
Do you also sell new items?
Yes, we do. New items come from the same companies and distributors that supply the stock we refurbish. New items will arrive in their unopened, original packaging.
Why do some of the same products have different prices?
We have a large stock of products that come in different conditions. We grade them as platinum, gold and silver so that you know their cosmetic condition. Platinum products are virtually indistinguishable from new, gold products show minor signs of use and silver products might show visible scratches, scuffs or dents. The products are priced accordingly.
Why should I buy refurbished instead of new stock?
Refurbished stock is excellent value for money. You are getting great products from top manufacturers, with genuine Microsoft operating systems (where applicable) and cleaned like new for a fraction of the price of new equipment.
Where do the products come from?
Our stock started out as IT equipment being used by agencies or large companies. It has been used for a limited period of time and well maintained. Our parent group, Sims Lifecycle Services, has contracts to refurbish and redistribute this equipment, providing us with a great variety of quality products.
What comes in the box?
This varies by product. Review product descriptions for specific details for what is included in your purchase.
As you shop, we will also make suggestions for additional pieces you might want to purchase to enhance your kit. For example, desktop computers will come with a power cord, but not a keyboard or mouse
What comes installed?
Computer equipment will come with a genuine Microsoft Operating System. The specific Operating System will be detailed within the product listing. You’ll be asked to activate this by entering the unique product key (found on COA sticker; exmple below) when you first turn on your device. Please note that this does not include software such as Word or Excel.
What will battery life be?
Batteries are tested to ensure they accept a charge, but we cannot guarantee how long they will last.
Does my purchase have a warranty?
Yes! All products come with a one year return to base warranty.
How do I pay for my purchase?
We accept Visa, MasterCard and American Express. You can also use your PayPal account.

If my equipment has a faulty and is under warranty, how do I get it repaired?

Can I use my mobile phone with any network?
