We are Australia’s largest Technology Refurbishment Centre since 2004. Every day customers trust Renewd to give new life to used devices and we take that responsibility seriously. Whether buying a Refurbished Notebook or trading in some old technology we’re here to save our customers money on a wide selection of certified pre-owned device and provide a less expensive alternative to buying new technology.

We offer in-store shopping at our Melbourne factory outlet including Click n Collect.

 We also do some good for the planet by keeping thousands of devices in use and out of landfill.

As Australia's largest Technology Re-furbisher we need to keep a steady supply of excellent

products to meet our customers needs.

Renewd asset recovery manages merchandise from the following Australian sources:

• Trade in Customers on our website

Renewd believes in reusing products first and recycling when an item no longer has any value. The idea is to keep working products in use as long as possible, extending their life, preventing e-Waste, and ensuring you receive value for the electronics you don't need anymore. It's an idea we call reCommerce. 

Once we have checked out your item , we move the item into one of a few directions depending on what it is and what condition it's in. Many of the products sent to Renewd still have plenty of life left in them so we find them a new, happy home. We do this by refurbishing and selling many of the items through Renewd . This is the essence of reCommerce - you sell your unwanted Notebooks to us and we extend their life by selling them to someone who wants it. As a result, fewer items get thrown to the landfills or collect dust in a drawer, and fewer people buy brand new Notebooks since used ones in great condition are available in the market. Some products that we receive in large quantity are sold globally to wholesale partners, who aggregate these items and resell them via their own networks. 

The idea is to optimise where to move things in order to get the best return and therefore offer the best value possible to our Customers.

Sure you can. Please choose Click n Collect when checking out. This service is only available for Melbourne customers at this stage.

Types of Operating Systems

The operating system is the heart of your laptop. It manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your laptop and your programs in a visual way (otherwise, you'd be typing a bunch of computer code to get anything done).

Installed exclusively on Mac computers, OS X boasts an elegant and easy-to-use interface to complement Macs' sleek aesthetics and impressive battery life. Macs have historically had fewer issues with viruses and malware. However, MacBooks start at a higher price point than other laptops, and no Mac model to date includes touch-screen functionality.

Windows is designed specifically around an intuitive touch-screen interface (though it can be used with a traditional mouse and keyboard), expanding your navigation options. The integrated Windows Hello feature lets you log in quickly using a look or a touch instead of a password, while remaining enterprise-grade secure. It also offers an updated task manager, streamlined file management and a suite of built-in apps.

Select touch-screen laptops are also equipped for Windows Ink, which lets you write or draw on the display and interact with a wide range of Windows Ink-enabled apps, using a compatible pen accessory (may be sold separately).

Featured exclusively in the Chromebook line of mobile computers, this OS runs custom apps and cloud-based programs rather than traditional software. It's great for surfing the Web, keeping up with your email and social networks, and sharing your photos with friends and family, rather than more data-intensive tasks like video editing and hardcore gaming.

Processors

·  Intel® Processors

Intel's processors are at the heart of every modern MacBook and the majority of Windows laptops. Most prevalent are Intel's Core™ series of multicore processors:

• Core X-Series:Intel's ultimate processor for gaming and virtual reality experiences. The Core X-series family offers up to 18 cores and 36 threads to power through the creation, editing and production of 4K or 360° videos, high-resolution photos and high-quality audio.
• Core i7:A popular choice for "power users" like hardcore gamers, graphic designers, photographers and videographers. It excels at serious multitasking and high-demand multimedia creation for projects in 3D or high definition.
• Core i5:Mid-grade Core processor is powerful enough for most computing tasks, and multitasks well so you can stream the big football game while looking up stats and sending emails.
• Core i3:The entry-level Core processor, more than adequate for everyday email, internet and productivity tasks. It's also fine for common activities like listening to music.

In value-priced laptops, you'll also see Intel's Pentium^® and Celeron^® processors. These are adequate for basic email, internet and productivity tasks, but their speed and multitasking capabilities are limited relative to those of the Core family.

·  AMD Processors

AMD provides a range of advanced processors for virtually every task.

AMD FX and A Series: These families of processor are designed to boost productivity, enhance multimedia and improve energy efficiency.

• A8, F10, A12 and FX:Advanced features combine powerful processing with power efficiency to provide a great PC experience, including smooth online gaming and enhanced HD streaming capabilities.
• A4, A6 and E2:These processors prioritize value and are geared toward your everyday productivity tasks.

Memory

Random-access memory, or RAM, is important because it helps your processor tackle multiple tasks at once. A minimum of 2GB is required for basic computing, but 8GB or more is recommended if you're into graphics and advanced photo or video editing. Most laptops have 4GB–8GB pre-installed, and some have up to 64GB. If you think you might need more memory later, choose a model that lets you expand the RAM

Internal Storage

Traditional hard disk drives offer larger storage capacities, but add to a laptop's weight and thickness while generating heat and noise. Alternatively, solid state drives (also known as SSDs or flash storage) are much lighter, faster, cooler and quieter than hard drives — but they're also much more expensive per GB, so typically provide less storage space. Some laptops feature a hybrid drive, which combines a hard drive with a solid state drive for the benefits of both.

Hard Disk Drives

Traditional, mechanical hard disk drives are the most common type of storage because they're relatively inexpensive and offer huge capacities. However, they also add significantly to a laptop's weight and thickness, and generate both heat and noise. They come in two standard speeds: A 5400 rpm drive is sufficient for day-to-day Web surfing, emailing and document creation, but a 7200 rpm drive transfers data more quickly and may be worth considering if you regularly work with large files.

Solid State Drives

Solid state drives, also known as SSDs (or, in Apple's case, "flash storage"), are many times faster than hard disk drives, but typically offer far less capacity. SSDs also offer tremendous advantages in physical size, weight and power efficiency, along with negligible heat production and noiseless operation, making them an ideal choice for ultraslim, ultralightweight laptops. And unlike hard disks, SSDs have no moving parts to wear out.

Some laptops employ an SSD for all storage. Others dedicate a smaller SSD to house the operating system and applications (enabling faster start-up) and add a traditional hard drive for general data storage.

Screen Size 

Laptop screens have a wide range of sizes depending upon the type of laptop system that you are looking at. Larger screens provide an easier to view screen such as those for desktop replacements. Ultraportables tend to have smaller screens allowing for a reduced size and increased portability. Almost all systems now offer a wide aspect ratio screen either for a more cinematic display or to reduce the size of the screen in the depth dimension for an overall smaller system size.

All screens sizes are given in a diagonal measurement. This is the measurement from the lower screen corner to the opposite upper corner of the screen. This will typically be the actually visible display area. Here is a chart of the average screen sizes for different style laptops:

Resolution 

Higher resolution equals better picture quality. Laptop screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical):

• 4K Ultra HD:3840 x 2560 and 3840 x 2160 resolutions boast four times the pixels of Full HD, creating rich colors and images for viewing and editing incredibly lifelike images and graphics.
• QHD (Quad HD) and QHD+:With 2560 x 1440 and 3200 x 1800 resolutions, respectively, the extremely high pixel density creates crisp detail and sharp text, ideal for professional photo and graphics work as well as high-def movies and games.
• Retina display:2304 x 1440, 2560 x 1600 and 2880 x 1800 resolutions are found in Apple's 12", 13.3" and 15.6" laptop displays, respectively.
• Full HD:1920 x 1080 resolution allows you to watch Blu-ray movies and play video games without losing any level of detail.
• HD+:1600 x 900 resolution is great for casual gaming and watching DVD movies.
• HD:1366 x 768 resolution is standard on mainstream laptops. Good for Web-surfing, email and basic computing tasks.

PORTS AND CONNECTIVITY

Laptops typically provide several options for staying connected to the internet as well as to other devices. Most laptops provide the latest 802.11 wireless networking standards plus Bluetooth capabilities, so you can easily sync your smartphone, speakers and other portable devices.

Keep an eye out for the following ports that are commonly used for connecting to TVs, cameras and other devices:

• USB Type-A:Connects external drives, gaming controllers, smartphones, MP3 players and other accessories. USB 3.0 ports transfer data faster than USB 2.0, but only when used with USB 3.0 devices.
• USB Type-C:Provides blazing speeds and versatile power, featuring connectors with identical ends that plug in upside down or right-side up. Adapters allow for video as well as backward compatibility with Type-A ports.
• Thunderbolt:Ultra-high bandwidth for fast data transfer between devices featuring a Thunderbolt or MiniDisplayPort connection.
• HDMI:Connect a projector or display HD media on your flat-screen TV.
• Media-card slots: Transfer photos from your digital camera or camcorder.
