Thinking of a BYOx laptop for your child? Why buy refurbished?

Buying refurbished makes sense. Not only will you save money, but your child will also get a high-quality, business-grade laptop that’s tougher and better built than most consumer models. Features like aluminium casings, reinforced hinges, and durable Gorilla Glass screens mean they’re designed to handle the rigours of daily school life.

All our BYOx laptops meet, and often exceed school requirements. We only stock Intel i5 and i7 processors, so you won’t be stuck with a slow Celeron, and we don’t sell Chromebooks because they simply don’t meet BYOx standards. And most importantly, we back our laptops with local support. A warranty isn’t much use if the laptop has to be sent away for weeks to be repaired. At Laptop Shack, all repairs are done right here in Cairns. If we can’t fix it immediately, we’ll provide a free loan laptop to keep your child’s learning on track with minimal disruption.

When buying a laptop for school, it’s realistic to expect 2–3 years of use, whether its new or refurbished as accidents do happen—it might not even be your child that causes the damage. That’s why refurbished is the smart choice: you get strong, reliable specs at a fraction of the price.

Save money. Get better quality. Be school-ready.
