About Techsavers and refurbished technology

We have been dedicated to professional technology refurbishment since 2003. Under the Techsavers brand, we give new life to premium notebooks, computers, and other technology, including top-tier models from brands like HP, Lenovo, Dell, and Fujitsu-Siemens.

Thanks to our work, we have returned more than 138,000 notebooks and 132,000 computers to circulation, satisfying over 130,000 customers. We reinforce our leading position in the market through the high quality of our products and services, defined by our TSQ 7 out of 7 quality guarantee.

We currently operate in the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, and Croatia. We are committed to a more sustainable future and believe in the importance of protecting it from unnecessary waste. That is why we extend the life cycle of products that would otherwise end up in landfills, even though they are fully functional and capable of serving well for several more years.

During refurbishment, devices undergo a comprehensive restoration process, resulting in a final condition that is visually almost identical to a new product. These devices go through an eleven-step procedure, during which they are rigorously tested, thoroughly cleaned, and refurbished to match the quality and performance of new devices.

It’s important to note that refurbishment primarily addresses the visual aspect of the product. At Techsavers, all notebooks and computers we process are already fully functional when they arrive.

We understand your concerns and possible prejudices about buying used technology. However, our refurbishment process is extremely precise, ensuring your concerns are unnecessary.

Each device undergoes a thorough refurbishment process. First, we perform in-depth stress tests to ensure functionality and reliability. Then, the tested products are sent for detailed cleaning and polishing. For notebooks, we always adjust the keyboard localization according to the country where the product will be shipped, ensuring it is free of dirt or fingerprints.

Additionally, we test the battery life and classify the devices into categories. We communicate the condition of each refurbished product in detail and with complete transparency using the categories: "AS NEW, VERY GOOD, FAIR."

Finally, the products are packed in secure packaging made from recyclable materials. Their price is more than 50% lower than the original retail price, making refurbished technology an affordable and sustainable choice.

Every piece of technology that comes to us undergoes a thorough refurbishment process. It’s important to note that we don’t repair broken products. We don’t work with non-functional devices that have been discarded.

Our refurbishment process focuses on restoring parts that may appear worn, transforming them into products that often look like new again. This process extends the lifespan of devices by several years, allowing you to save both money and the environment.

If you’re curious about how this works, check out our video on the refurbishment process and see for yourself why refurbished technology is a reliable and trustworthy choice.

Buying refurbished technology is not only a sustainable and responsible choice to help protect the environment, but it also enables you to save significantly compared to purchasing new products. Reducing your carbon footprint and minimizing the negative impact on the planet are compelling reasons to consider refurbished technology as a smart option when buying electronic devices.

Product selection, offered brands and product condition

Of course. Contact us, and our experts will gladly help you choose the device that best suits your needs. We're here for you!

No, however, many of our products have been used only a few times, or served as backup devices in a corporate environment, and after our refurbishment, they are visually and functionally indistinguishable from new ones. If you're more interested in new products, try looking at products in the "As New" category.

Our product portfolio represents business and premium devices from renowned companies such as Apple, HP, Lenovo, Dell, and Fujitsu.

The aesthetic condition of notebooks, PCs, or mobile phones in our offer may vary. Therefore, we have created product quality classes that reflect their wear and tear in price. However, all our products are in 100% functional condition, despite cosmetic signs of wear.

The technology we refurbish and sell comes primarily from the corporate environment of Northern and Western European countries.

Refurbished & remanufactured by Techsavers involves categorizing products into transparent categories based solely on their visual condition. Each device comes with a quality guarantee and is in 100% functional condition. Our certified processes emphasize precise cleaning and restoration. The refurbishment and remanufacturing process includes innovative technologies and rigorous testing, ensuring reliability and performance comparable to new products. Devices undergo an 11-step refurbishment and remanufacturing process, including stress testing, cover spraying technology that matches original colors and finishes, and newly printed keyboards localized for the target country. Durable laser technology is used to ensure long life and high quality.

Reselling technology, on the other hand, often includes condition categories that also factor in device functionality, leading to variability in reliability and performance. These devices do not come with a flawless functionality guarantee, resulting in potential risks for the buyer. The processes behind reselling are often unknown and unclear, with minimal investments made to maximize returns, typically compromising quality. Testing is non-transparent and focuses on limited components. Imperfections are covered with low-cost materials such as vinyl or adhesive foils, which have a short lifespan. Keyboards are often not localized for the target country, with stickers used instead, leading to lower quality and durability.

Every device goes through our precise remanufacturing process that meets strict ISO 9001 standards.

Our goal is to ensure that the final product is indistinguishable from new, which is confirmed by our strict internal standards and testing. The individual product classes differ only in visual appearance. Each product is 100% functional.

We have defined the visual aspect with three classes: "as new", "very good", and "fair".


As new
: Devices in as new condition are truly like new. They are in 100% technical condition with minimal to no cosmetic flaws. The display is free of scratches and stains.

Very good: Devices in very good condition are also 100% functional, but may have more visible signs of use in the form of minor scratches, usually on the back and sides of the device. Such minor scratches may also be present on the display. However, these defects are almost invisible when the display is turned on.

Fair: The last condition is acceptable, where all devices are also 100% functional, but the bodies and displays of the devices here bear more visible signs of wear, which, however, do not affect their usability in any way.
