Refurbished gaming: console, laptop or desktop

Gaming hardware evolves quickly. That has an advantage: previous generations and return units offer strong performance for a lower price. Whether you're looking for a PS5, a Nintendo Switch, or a gaming laptop for the latest titles: as a second-chance return deal, you pay significantly less. Without compromising the gaming experience.

The console choice

The PlayStation 5 is the choice for graphically demanding exclusives. As a second-chance console, it's a popular return deal. The PS4 remains a solid option with an enormous game library. The Nintendo Switch combines portable and home gaming in one device. We test refurbished consoles on drive read speed, controller connectivity, HDMI output and ventilation. But of course, a console is only a console if you can play on it without issues: and that's precisely what we test for.

Specs that matter

With gaming laptops and desktops, everything revolves around the combination of processor, graphics card, working memory and storage. A refurbished model from last year's mid-range often outperforms a new budget device. Our technicians check the thermal performance: this is essential for gaming: and replace the thermal paste where necessary. We test every machine under load. The specifications are on the product page, with no surprises afterwards.

Warranty on gaming hardware

Every gaming product comes with 2 years warranty. After receipt, you have 14 days to return the product. Shipping via bpost with tracking. A smart way to upgrade your setup, and less e-waste in the chain. For the sound in your gaming setup, also check out our refurbished headphones.
