Connecting Up's discount program offers only high-quality computers, formerly used by large corporations. These are machines that are typically phased out after two to three years of use, but are still in very good working order.
Its important to have a realistic expectation of the equipment that you are about to purchase. Keep in mind that the equipment being sold is second-hand so it has been subject to a certain amount of normal wear and tear.
