Cosmetic Condition Grading
At Reboot IT, transparency is paramount. Our refurbished laptops are graded to help you understand exactly what to expect:
Excellent Grade laptops show evidence of very light previous use with minimal wear. Any wear on housing and external surfaces is associated with standard minimal use. Excellent units may have very minor scuffing or abrasions with light wear on the keyboard. The screen will not feature scratches, cracks, chips, dead pixels, dark spots, discolouration, or blemishes—only the standard minimal wear associated with a used laptop.
Good Grade laptops are fully tested and functional but may have scratches on the body and more extensive housing or external surface wear than Excellent units, including scratches on the cover or lid and heavier keyboard wear. Good grade units may feature one or several small dings, dents, or small paint chips on the surface, or small hairline cracks in the bezel. Screens may feature uneven light diffusion and subtle blemishes, slight scratching, dead pixels, or white spots, but will not feature cracked screens.
Both grades undergo identical rigorous testing and carry the same warranty coverage, with the grade reflecting only cosmetic condition, not performance or functionality.
