1. Helpful Information to Off-Lease Computers
Before anything else, let's define the definition of
'off lease.' Off lease describes equipment that has
been used by a company and leased to, then came
back to the leasing agent after the end-of the lease
period. You see, some companies lease their
equipment for around five years as opposed to
purchase them. When the equipment is returned, the
leasing agent (or sometimes a third-party) inspects
the equipment, repairs any injuries, cleans it and
repackages it in order to sell it.
Let us say a client flexirent for a period of time (usually between one to five years). If the lease
period is up, the computer is repaired, tested and returned, re-packaged and resold as as an off-
lease computer.
A lot of businesses, public entities, companies, and customers decide for off-leased services and
products to save a lot of money. But there are several things that you should know first before
buying an off-lease product.
Off-lease equipment has several quality designations according to the machine's condition. A
Class A situation means the item is in great condition. That is frequently sold with some amount
of customer care and a restricted warranty. Class B means the product can be in good shape but
is using an old os (Win-dows 98, ME, 2,000, NT). They are frequently sold with no customer
support and not a lot of warranty. Class C means the product is useful but has not been prepared
for reselling. It could sometimes be worn-out or damaged. This is sold without any guarantee and
as it is. Class N means the product is in poor or unknown situation. That is sold as it is and with
no signs of practical condition.
More information is found here.
Off flexirent can be months to years-old and some of them
still carry the manufacturer's original guarantee. An average
of, class A products will be not more than 36 months of age.
They'll nevertheless be retaining many their of use life.
Available on the market today, the-difference between a brand
new computer and, say, a two-year-old system is normally of
no consequence to normal company operations. Therefore,
unless you require top quality computer technology such as
for design manipulation, there's a big possibility your
applications will run satisfactorily on equipment produced in
the past four to seven product cycles. New computers are
presented at an interest rate of six to eight months but pretty
much, your company should work perfectly on hardware made in the past two to five years.
