Refurbished Laptops
We understand that economic constraints will be present when purchasing a BYOD. Purchasing from a company that refurbishes or second hand is a valid option for some families.
While we do not have particular companies we recommend for this, there are a variety of options when googling for these options. Please view our specifications when purchasing online to ensure you purchase an appropriate Windows 11 model.
