How two refurbished computers changed the family's life

Caetano and Clara are 11 years old. Like all children their age, they love watching their Youtubers and playing on the computer. 

The parents' computers - well, more precisely the mother's, an old Mac - always ended up in one of their hands. And after a few days, they were full of games and, sometimes, the parents suspected, also full of viruses...

One day they received phones (of course, their parents' old phones). They could already watch videos and when they grew a couple more years, they received their first computers. The cheapest in the store.

The first computers

"On the first day, there was great enthusiasm. Setting everything up and starting to watch the videos and play the games they had been longing for. Now they had their own life! Their own computer."

But it didn't last long. First, with use, the computers quickly became slow. They were always "freezing" in their language. Then, they were so heavy that the mother, worried, let Clara take her Mac to school.

One of the computers, in the backpack, ended up hitting the ground and broke, opening up defectively. Fragile plastic... that's what happens!

The truth is that in a few months the computers were pushed to one side and Caetano and Clara went back to using their mother's Mac.

The school started to increasingly require the use of computers, and parents began to think about how they could solve the problem. Parents needed their equipment for work, and clearly, the children needed a solution.

In fact, they didn't want anything supersonic, but it had to be an agile machine, with some robustness (and not that plastic from the first computers) and not be too heavy!

They went to the usual stores and realized that they could either buy a slow and fragile computer for a low price or buy a more robust computer for double or triple the price. A choice had to be made.

The solution!

"That was when they learned about refurbished computers. A friend explained to them that many companies do with computers what they do with cars. They buy excellent machines at low prices, use them for two or three years, and then exchange them for new ones."

And when they are exchanged, second-hand computers are cleaned, "tuned up" and return to the market... much cheaper.

It was at that moment that Caetano and Clara's parents looked for refurbished computer offers in Portugal and found some excellent alternative machines.

They ended up opting for the HP ..... which would have cost them 3 times the price they paid. In other words, both children ended up with a supercomputer, with a metal base instead of plastic, without a scratch, impeccable and with spectacular performance (SSD drives, next-generation processors, 8 Gb memory)... everything an adult could wish for. In fact, I won't hide from you that the parents even envied their children's computers a few times...

Nowadays, children take computers to school without them being an absurd weight in their backpacks, they no longer complain about the slowness and do their schoolwork on their own.

Life has changed a bit!!! For the much better.
