Windows 11 Pro Operating System
This workstation is equipped with Windows 11 Pro 64-bit, Microsoft's latest business-focused operating system featuring a modernised interface and enhanced productivity tools. Windows 11 Pro delivers advanced security architecture including hardware-based isolation, TPM 2.0 integration, Windows Hello biometric authentication, and BitLocker drive encryption, providing comprehensive protection for sensitive business data in today's threat landscape.
The operating system offers enhanced productivity features including Snap Layouts for efficient multi-tasking, systemwide live captions for accessibility, improved virtual desktop management, quick settings access for VPN and Bluetooth connectivity, and seamless integration with Microsoft 365 applications. Windows 11 Pro provides enterprise-grade business capabilities with domain joining, Group Policy management, Hyper-V virtualisation for running multiple operating systems, Remote Desktop functionality, and Windows Update for Business allowing IT administrators greater control over update deployment.
However, users should note stricter hardware requirements including mandatory TPM 2.0 support, which enhances security but limits compatibility with some older peripherals. Additionally, the centred taskbar and redesigned interface may require a brief adjustment period for users accustomed to Windows 10's layout. Overall, Windows 11 Pro excels as a modern, secure platform optimised for hybrid work environments and professional workflows requiring advanced management capabilities.
Understanding Cosmetic Grades
Excellent Grade laptops exhibit minimal signs of previous use, featuring only very minor scuffing or abrasions from light standard use. Keyboards display minimal wear, and screens are pristine without scratches, dead pixels, or blemishes, offering an almost-new aesthetic appearance.
Good Grade laptops are fully functional with signs of more extensive use, including visible scratches on the body, heavier keyboard wear, and possible small dents or minor paint chips. Screens remain fully functional and may show subtle blemishes or uneven light diffusion but are free from cracks, providing excellent value for budget-conscious professionals.

Refurbished Computers - Cosmetic Grading Guide
Our supplier's refurbished hardware is typically graded either "Excellent" or "Good", however, some legacy products were graded under a letter grading system (A, B, C). Please find the definitions for each grade below and contact us if you're uncertain of a device's grade.
Used Smartphone / Refurbished Mobile Phones
"Excellent" Grade
Devices in this category appear like new, with very minor wear. Expect light or fine scratches on the screen that are shallow enough not to catch on a fingernail. The edge around the glass is virtually flawless, save for possible light scratching around the power port. The back plate may show light/fine scratches, including on the Apple logo, with any discoloration being minimal.
"Good" Grade
These devices are characterized by being fully tested and functional even if they have body scratches, minor paint chips, or a small hairline crack on the screen. Screens are free from dead pixels but may exhibit slight scratching from moderate use.
Refurbished Desktops, Laptops and Monitors
"Excellent" Grade - Laptops
Reserved for units that show barely any signs of previous use, these laptops may exhibit very minor scuffing or abrasions, associated only with minimal standard use. The keyboards show light wear, and importantly, the screens are pristine, free from any scratches, cracks, chips, dead pixels, dark spots, discoloration, or blemishes.
"Excellent" Grade - Desktops
Desktop PCs in the "Excellent" grade category are free from deep scratches, cracks, paint chips, or any broken/missing pieces, ensuring a sleek and almost-new aesthetic.
"Excellent" Grade - Monitors
"Excellent" grade is reserved for units that show evidence of very little to no previous use. Any wear on an "Excellent" Display, including housing/frame and/or external surfaces (i.e. Frame) is associated with standard minimal use. "Excellent" units may have minor scuffing and / or minor abrasions on plastics with from standard light previous use."Excellent" Displays will feature no scratches, cracks, chips, dead pixels, dark spots, discoloration or blemishes. Units will only feature the standard minimal wear and tear that is associated with a used unit.
"Good" Grade - Laptops
"Good" laptops may feature one or several small dings or dents on covers and / or small paint chips on the surface or small hairline cracks in the bezel. Laptop screens may feature uneven light diffusion in screen and may feature subtle blemishes. "Good" Laptops will not feature cracks screens but may feature slight scratching, dead pixels or white spots on the screen.
"Good" Grade - Desktops
"Good" grade desktops may have light scratches on external body and may feature more excessive unit housing and/or external case wear than "Excellent" units, including wear on case / lid. "Good" PCs may feature one or several small dings or dents on covers and / or small paint chips on the surface.
"Good" Grade - Monitors
Displays in the "Good" grade have been fully tested and are functional but may include scratches on body, small paint chips, minor cracks on body, loose and/or wobbly bases. "Good" Display screens may feature uneven light diffusion in screen and may feature subtle to moderate blemishes. "Good" Displays will not feature cracks on screens but may feature slight scratching on screen surfaces from moderate use or wear, dead pixels or white spots on the screen.
